A MAN’S GREATEST FEAR
Are you like me?
When you became a dad,
You all of a sudden went from ‘𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘯’
To ‘𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘮’
Pre-dad, you were accountable to yourself only
Then all of a sudden, little humans depend on you

It feels like there’s no time

So, in chasing financial stability,
We prioritise work
But in doing so,
Many of us gradually lose some things we don’t value until they’re gone…
OUR HEALTH
OUR ENERGY
OUR CONFIDENCE
The kids grow up and learn to fend for themselves more
But we’re left with a mind and body that’s not so functional anymore
We pack on weight,
We’re constantly fatigued
And that fear about not being the role model you wanted to be?

There core problem here, is thinking you needed to make a choice
Between Money or Health
But you do not.
I think it’s time to rethink our approach
Quit the stupid quick fixes,
And find something real and sustainable
