If you want to be a great father, but your life is very busy - read this

My kids know Mommy & Daddy go for a walk every evening It's our time to strengthen our bond Time where we just talk We have no rules of conversation Whatever comes up, or maybe no conversation We do aim to stay off the phone Sometimes one of us may need to take a quick call There is no perfection in life, but it does go on You can make the most of it, or wait for the perfect moment that never comes No matter your focus at the current time Be it a new business Be it a new venture Be it a new hobby If I can offer one piece of advice - Never forget what's most important in life To me, that's my wife & kids So that means We make a point of going on a walk Tired, hungry, or busy Cold, hot, or whatever the weather The concept runs deeper than just the actual walk It's the devotion we have to our marriage It's the devotion we have to our children It's the devotion we have to our life Strengthen the connection with your wife Strengthen the connection with your children Don't let society trick you into thinking anything else is more important You know deep down it's not Help yourself out - start focusing on what counts

It never happened...like the moon landing 😂😂 (just messing) They didn't sit and eat the whole day, Nor did they sit as much There were no screens Health was a default, not a privilege

When Men were men

The Lesson is right there

I'd like to know which Dad is not grinning ear to ear with a tear coming out of their eye right now

What scares you most as a Dad?

Reminder to be present with your family today.

You're no different from the other Dad's You're not at a disadvantage You're at a different part of the journey Age, race, success, or IQ - does not make a difference You can be the awesome Dad you aspire to be Don't let anyone tell you otherwise Get started now - follow along I'm going to show you how

You talk the talk Do you walk the walk? If you don't - Why do you think your children will?

Life is unpredictable We can't always control what happens but we can control how we react - by preparing ourselves

What's that got to do with anything 😂😂

The earlier pains are real, but it will only get worse later Easy now hard later Hard now easy later It's a choice each one of can make Each person's decision is of its own difficulty No one can compare to the next Each person has his mountain to conquer

There is nothing more gratifying for a father than to give of himself to his children

Too many distractions - not enough real fulfillment

Being the man called Dad is wearing many hats Building Fixing Teaching Loving Showing Playing Cleaning And so much more After all is said and done Through all the Happiness Anger Smiling Tears Yelling Crying Screaming Joy I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world Why? Because growing through challenges with the ones you love most Is the most gratifying, enjoyable feeling Seeing those smiles, wiping the tears, wrapping your arms around them Be it your child, or your wife There is no other title I'd rather Dad It's my badge of honor I'm honored to be the leader 🫡 (Finish your Sunday strong)

Not being present often enough with them

10 meaningful quotes from @jordanbpeterson and... why YOU need to know them as a Father #10 is foundational - It changes everything

Imagine if every time someone mentioned Chat GPT they had to do exercise for 10 minutes Heart attacks would drop to a new all time low 🤣

Stop toxicity and realize - this is the way Being strong, being a leader, being a man Is not toxic - try it out and prove me otherwise

The door slams open He walks into his home He doesn't hear his children's laughter His wife's beautiful smile turns to sadness His work bag is light - yet it weighs on him He doesn't see the house that has been cleaned He doesn't smell the delicious supper his wife has prepared

Good Morning to all the devoted Fathers & Husbands I never said 'the best' - I said devoted You work to grow more every day You push yourself to achieve more You aim for the best life for your family Hats off to you - Keep Going!!

Will you be there for them? Your little girl wants Daddy to walk her down the aisle Your little boy wants Daddy to hold his newborn child Your wife wants you there enjoying the sunset beside her Stop just saying you care Start taking care of yourself No one else is going to

What keeps you going in life - and why do you want more?

Stop glorifying Dad bods Start glorifying: > Getting more sleep > Reading more often > Doing more exercise > Eating more consciously > Bonding more with your kids > Spending more time with your wife If not for your future - Do it for theirs

DIY projects are loads of fun Doing them with your kids 10x's the outcome

9 things you tell your child. But you don't tell yourself enough. Grab a tissue box, a pen & paper - here goes. (Bookmark this to carry it with you)

Your child doesn't want perfect Your child just wants YOU - that's it

You're a Dad doing his best to show up. But your life is very busy and you struggle. Somehow whatever you do does not seem to be enough. Let's discuss the missing piece:

We have little time with our children To make a strong positive impression Don't miss those moments because your boss called (or because Netflix was too enticing) Have a great weekend and enjoy the time with your kids!

When your child breaks down crying They need to get on the bus in a few minutes Giving them a treat so they will get going without stressing you out, is hurting them - not an action of love Stop trying to compensate for not being present by giving presents Give them true love

Sign of a bad leader? He blames his problems on others Dad's - don't be a bad leader

The pain of your past is real When I think back to who I was - I cringe When someone brings it up - I turn beet red It's embarrassing - but it's the past You must keep moving - so you can grow Embrace life as it is Make use of what you have and what you don't have It's a mindset - it's a new standard -Resolve to Evolve- You can become that husband & father you envision It's right there for the taking - All you need to do is start Stop procrastinating Stop contemplating Stop reading Start actioning Decide who you want to become Play the part, and your act will become YOU There is no other way than to set a new standard Start to live it - and fill it in as you go Your parents Your siblings Your friends... They will laugh at you - that's ok Not starting now- is unacceptable Follow me - @TheEvolvedDad I will take you on the journey to becoming that man If you're already riding along - RT so someone else can benefit (Don't deny them the opportunity to join - by not sharing)

Do you like to cry? I definitely don't However, a few weeks back I was reviewing the podcast I did with the amazing @tyromper (to see what to improve next podcast) After a few minutes of listening to it, I felt myself starting to tear up. I stopped, and just started to cry (manly tears of course ) I'm guessing that at this point that you're a bit confused Let me explain I've been married for over a decade, I have an amazing wife, and five wonderful children. I feel blessed However, it wasn't always like this For years I did my family a tremendous disservice by not living up to my true capabilities, and not even trying to get close to them. From coming in after a days work, angry and annoyed To getting pissed off that my kids wanted to spend time with me, or even ask me a simple question (I'll be honest - it hurts to even write this) Not giving my wife time, but expecting to get it in return My wife would try and reason with me but, I always had a "smarter than thou" response, so she could "understand" she was "wrong" To sum it up I'm not proud to admit - I lost those years to being stuck in my own head and I caused so much unnecessary pain to my loved ones - when I should have been doing the opposite - leading & loving them I've evolved - and now I'm still growing My growth continues, and it always will Because... Life is about the growth of the journey, not the destination It was a painful learning experience of life I share this so I can save so many others from making the same mistakes I did (yeah, back to crying) So, I'm watching the pod it was like an out-of-body experience I was able to hear this new me that the old me would laugh at this I saw a person that worked on himself so much - that the old person had died Think a phoenix rising from the ashes I'm feeling, pain & excitement all mixed in one - emotions are high This is why I'm here To show you that it's possible - it can be done All you need to do is choose to make the changes and start evolving Stop think that it's too late because the changes that you make now will change your life, and lives of your loved ones - forever PS: Resolve to Evolve I 'd love to hear your thoughts Drop a comment or Shoot me a DM and let's chat

Burnout or Breakout Being a Husband and Father can kick our butts Let's be real - we're juggling a lot My 3 Pillars are Health, Wealth, & Knowledge My 4th pillar is consistency Take a busy Dad schedule, then add these in It's a recipe for burnout - or is it? Hear me out The hardest part of creating a new habit is - Right before breaking through to the next level aka - fighting the boss Working out on the days you feel like garbage Reading even when you're exhausted Spending time with your wife when you had a rough day at work Staying strong and not giving in to our old habits This is not to say you cannot burnout This is to say that you must learn the difference We underestimate our capacity to do one more If you set your mind to it you'll be shocked how much you can accomplish To be truly successful - YOU MUST set yourself apart from the crowd Challenge yourself - just this week Do the uncomfortable Do just one more Do not give up Will it be hard - Yup Will it be worth it - Most definitely Can you do it - You bet Make this week your week of change Choose one activity - stick to it This is going to be the beginning of you joining the 1% Have an AWESOME week! PS: Resolve to Evolve

What's one thing you want most for your kids?

Talk with your kids, not to them Think back to when you were a child Were the great conversations chatting with someone, or having them speak to you? Stop reflecting on what you have done - Start to do something better Choose to start now Resolve to Evolve Join me @TheEvolvedDad on the journey as we become better fathers and husbands - every day

Had a talk with my oldest son We have some family-affecting circumstances that may be happening soon After talking for some time We hashed out a few questions and thoughts Then we discussed the future, along with the unknown No cute catchphrases, no cliche on-liners Just talking with my son about life Then he said something that hit hard He said "So instead of talking about it, why don't we just do it?" (silence) I had to stop and take it in (No tearing up as a proud dad...ok, maybe just a little) Then I continued to explain the process I explained that we were proceeding Just not in a way that he could see This is not just a "proud dad moment" This is a: "I changed my life around, and I'm working on hard on it every day for my family" moment After all the years I burned going in the wrong direction I finally started back down a path of evolving into a better leader for my family These are those defining moments of when we can truly celebrate our wins These are the wins When we see our children picking up and learning those life-changing ideas This is me standing on the podium sharing a win today - because a few years ago I decided it was time to change This is me standing on the podium saying - "This is only the beginning" I am NOT stopping here It's simply proof that this is the way You can do it Join me, or join them I guarantee you that working on evolving EVERY day is worth every bit of it Take the leap Resolve to Evolve!

Why is fatherhood important to you?

One small action put you off course One small action will put you back Being a husband & father is not without challenges Here are 7 tips to get you back on course

Good Morning Dads! Sundays are for spending time with my wife & kids Be it a family outing, or just stuff around the house, there's nothing better than being a dad What's your favorite Sunday morning activity? Share it in the comments & tag a fellow dad who inspires you!

PSA: Presence over presents Your child can be fatherless even with you at home Don't let your child be fatherless

I'm thankful every day for: 👉 My wife 👉 My children 👉 Everything we have 👉 Everything we don't have 👉 The lessons I learn and live through This tweet is not about what I have or don't have

Water gives life - Water takes life Water takes a form - Water cuts a form What's lesson can you learn?

Desire to always become better

PSA: Your wife craves YOUR attention Don't force her to find it elsewhere

Dads are chosen as the leaders of the family Live like you know it

Dad's Stop worrying whether the cup is half full or half empty Focus your efforts on filling your own cup Your wife & children are waiting for you to fill theirs (This tweet has nothing to do with anything filling a cup)

Do you want to be dependent on oxygen in your old age? Of you course you don't So why don't you work out and eat better?

There is no secret. Treat your wife as the amazing woman she is. Never look to your wife as the issue until you are perfect. Being a leader - show up better every day. Your wife and kids look up to you. They mirror your actions and habits.

Another unpopular opinion: Kids are only a problem if you are.

I worry that I'm not doing enough for my kids I'm not giving them the attention I'm not giving them the guidance they need Sound familiar? You're not alone Now it's time to change this - Resolve to Evolve Don't push it off any longer - commit to changing NOW I'm glad you're choosing to change - so follow along @TheEvolvedDad and make 2023 the year it all got better!

Your child just wants to be treated like they mean something to you

"You gotta work hard, that's the only way" I listened to it It was of the worst advice I've listened to Here's why:

You are what you consume 👉 Your food diet 👉 Your sight diet 👉 Your listening diet 👉 Your reading diet 👉 Your emotional diet

Believe you can change - I know you can!

As a Dad - I will never give up I have a wife and children relying on me to play the role I have taken on. This is not a burden - it's empowering!

Your wife doesn't hate you She wants your attention She wants your love She wants YOU You have everything she wants, Just connect with her Take one small step towards her TODAY Give her some of that special love you once shared

Being a Dad involves a lot - it gets complicated Self-improvement to managing finances Health to mentorship Learning to Leading (there's a lot) I went to my circle of Awesome 'X'-Dads & asked them: What is your ONE recommendation to every Dad? (Get ready for some Awesomeness)

If you could say one last thing to your child- what would it be?

It's not your wife It's not your kids It's not your boss It's your lack of direction You can blame everyone else But you won't become a better Dad Until you design a path to grow in It's as simple as that

My daily reading at night - just wasn't happening So I started reading earlier in the day If you want to grow and achieve more - Learn to pivot

No, there is no separation. You cannot be a great Dad without being a great Husband.

Feeling like an outsider in your own home? 👉Be more present👈 Take 5 minutes a day with your kids - no phone Take 5 minutes a day with your wife - no phone Those collective 5 minutes will reshape your life

Looking for great podcast advisors/creators I need advice/guidance on: Intro/Content/Thumbnails Going all in Drop recommendations of anyone that can help

I'm thankful every day for: 👉 My wife 👉 My children 👉 Everything we have 👉 Everything we don't have 👉 The lessons I learn and live through This tweet is not about what I have or don't have P.S. Follow along @TheEvolvedDad if you're the Dad looking to show up better for your family every day

Quality ≠ perfection One will be your growth - the other your downfall

The dreaded H word Homework (Necessary or not? Not getting into that now) This is about time with my children Having a busy job, being a Dad Bills to pay, things to get fixed around the house Makes finding time difficult Especially having time after work to spend with my kids That's where homework time comes in I do the best I can every day to do homework with my kids Why?! I get to see my kids growth I get to spend time with my kids I get to help my kids understand if they don't I get to show the importance of learning I'd rather play a game with them, or even read a book However, life is not about what we would rather do Life is about what needs to be done to grow So I put everything else to the side and the make the time It's my time with my kids Even though my wife is available It's my bonding time with them We have so many opportunities throughout the day It's important that we open our eyes to see them Either choose to complain, or choose to gain This is a choice only YOU can make I'm not saying homework has become a fun time However it has become a time I get to teach my children life lessons and help them along It's not thrilling like playing a game, but it's learning the game of life When it comes down it - that's what it's all about Teaching, and showing our children by leading them Leading them to a better future Keep your eyes open See the opportunities Take advantage Watch your life change in ways you never expected

How much do you care to be a better father? Let's hear your thoughts in the comments

We've all seen "20 things I wish I knew in my 20's" You may have written it Let's start something new "30 things I'm going to do in my 30's" The challenge has begun 🤝

Happy Father's Day! As a Dad working on becoming the best version of yourself! Today, I'm reflecting on my journey of self-improvement as a father Cherishing every opportunity to learn, grow, and create wonderful memories with my kids. Here's to embracing the challenges, celebrating the victories, and constantly becoming a better dad! Resolve To Evolve is a choice, not a happening You're doing awesome - keep it up!

12 years ago I became a Dad 12 years ago I knew little about being a Dad 8 years ago I started to notice how things were off 3 years ago things clicked hard and loud - it was time to change 1 year ago I started to double down and make progress much quicker 6 months ago I came to this platform and chose to inspire other Dads to change their lives as well I'm here to show YOU how to become better a father Through self-improvement For one simple reason: I've been there - and I don't want you to suffer (anymore) The only thing YOU have to do is - Make the choice to change (It takes time - but you'll get there)

The hardest truth a parent has to deal with is... Your kids will go through hard things in life. As their Dad. Here’s the best way to handle it…

All your child wants is you to be their rock - they need someone to fall back on

The fact that everyone stood so nicely in line and spoke nicely - speaks volumes about these parents

Talking a big game that you go to sleep late - is simply childish Flexing that you work so many hours - is not honorable Boasting how quickly you can eat 20 hotdogs - is not impressive Stop and Think Why are you glorifying destructive habits? Do something to be proud of: Work out 💪 Eat Healthy 🥕 Get up when your alarm goes off 🌅 Become a better husband 🤵‍♂️ Become a better father 👨‍👧‍👦 Start flaunting that - that's a REAL win to boast about

Act don't react 1. Plan: write down what you want your child's future to look like, and learn what you can do to implement it from the earliest stages. 2. Self improvement: you're going to lead by example. Make sure you're the example you want them to follow. (Recent thread)

It's never too late There is always time to make a difference

When was the last time you pushed yourself to stay consistent?

Life is not all fun and games If you don't gamify it Just because you were told it needs to be serious - doesn't mean you have to listen Imagine if your child grew up in a house where life was focused on having fun - can you see where this is going?

Ever have a child go in for a procedure? Then you know the heart-wrenching time when your child is being given anesthesia especially young children

To be a dad is to adapt Don't try to be prepared for everything Focus on what you can control Adapt to what comes your way

New week New challenges New opportunities What are you looking forward to this week?

Do your kids respond "I love you too"?

I love how that kid said: Be strong like YOU I don't have those bumps yet Dad replied, you just gotta keep at every day - a little bit The power of using your words. The power of showing your love. The power of being there as their DAD!

5 lessons I learned from getting angry

❌ I was too busy to give time to my kids ❌ I was too "busy" for fun activities with my kids ❌ I was too wound up to appreciate my wife ✅ Now I put my phone away & focus on my kids ✅ Now I thrive from precious time with my kids ✅ Now I make time daily to bond with my wife It took time It took consistency It took strength to focus on improving myself I would do it all again in a heartbeat Because there's nothing better than Being a present husband & father

Every Moment is Your Shining Moment Look to inspire others Look to bring others higher Look to make the world better every day

How does this picture make you feel?

Man boys find excuses to drink often Real men find reasons to drink less

What are you doing to improve your habits today?

Sunday routine morning till night Exercise, house/lawn care, family BBQ, Reading...and some more

The week starts on ..... Sunday 🤯 Start to appreciate life (like I do) Monday will no longer be "groan day" Monday is another day to grow Another day to work on your goals Don't be mediocre and complain (they do that) - Rise above and focus on building your dreams They don't know how to focus on growth (it's too hard for them) History shows us how the weak have no focus Don't be weak like them, become a powerhouse The time has come to conquer the days one at a time! Time doesn't stop - why should you (unless you want to be like them) Follow @TheEvolvedDad to see how it's done

Anger transformed me into a monster - then I slayed it Here's how: (P.S. don't miss the 5 step transformation in the thread)

Being a Dad isn't about perfect days. It's about embracing the chaos - with a smile. Spilled cereal Diaper mishaps Unexpected tantrums These are our chances to show love, and practice patience.

**Men Only** The BIG question is - does size matter? Trust me - you won't be able to keep your eyes off this one Let's take an uncomfortable look

Dads, let's start a movement: Replace screen time with dream time. One hour a day to fuel our kids' imaginations. Who's in?
