I noticed recently that each time I go on legacy social media

I get content from men in their late 30s with huge digital audiences

Chatting through a range of interesting subjects

But none of them are married, or have kids

Now each to their own. You do you.

But my experience having been blessed to become a father

Means I now struggle to take advice from people who aren’t

It’s impossible to explain the deep connection to a child

Plus the newfound sense of responsibility that you now have

Whilst of course a family being the most important investment of all

Priorities shift markedly.

I remember when my son was born and I saw him first open his eyes and it was clear how much of a blank slate he was.

I realized in that moment, my job was to not fuck him up. And that he wouldn’t get the most input from my words. He would only be taking in my example that I lived in his presence and be guided by the environment I developed around him.

A great responsibility that changed my life lens.

He will be 18 shortly and plans to graduate high school this year.

Fatherhood shifts everything, priorities, patience, and purpose. It’s no longer about what’s best for me but what’s best for my kids, even beyond my time. While I respect other perspectives, it’s hard to take advice from those who haven’t experienced that transformation.

Don’t take financial advice from a poor.Don’t take health advice from a fat doctor. Don’t take fitness advice from a softy soy boy.
