A MAN'S GREATEST FEAR

Are you like me? โฃ

When you became a dad, โฃ

You all of a sudden went from โ€˜๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏโ€™โฃ

To โ€˜๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ฎโ€™โฃ

Pre-dad, you were accountable to yourself onlyโฃ

Then all of a sudden, little humans depend on youโฃ

It feels like thereโ€™s no time โฃ

So, in chasing financial stability,โฃ

We prioritise workโฃ

But in doing so, โฃ

Many of us gradually lose some things we donโ€™t value until theyโ€™re goneโ€ฆโฃ

OUR HEALTHโฃ

OUR ENERGYโฃ

OUR CONFIDENCEโฃ

The kids grow up and learn to fend for themselves moreโฃ

But weโ€™re left with a mind and body thatโ€™s not so functional anymoreโฃ

We pack on weight, โฃ

Weโ€™re constantly fatiguedโฃ

And that fear about not being the role model you wanted to be?โฃ

There core problem here, is thinking you needed to make a choiceโฃ

Between Money or Healthโฃ

But you do not.

I think itโ€™s time to rethink our approachโฃ

Quit the stupid quick fixes, โฃ

And find something real and sustainableโฃ
