We are often called to be everything to everyone at the expense of knowing our purpose and identity. Some would argue that those concepts are interchangeable, and yes, they are similar; however, they are not the same.

For the Castle or the Crowd? | The Dear Son, Show |...

Dear Son, ·

2023/08/08

What is your motive for success? For some it’s personal, while others have an external “why.” Ultimately, most of us are either doing it for the castle or for the crowd. Stated differently, we’re pursuing success to take care of our home (the castle) or to impress those outside of our home. The delineation is vanity, doing the thing to be seen and praised.Sometimes our motives are misaligned. The effort looks good and plausible from the outside, but internally, the individual is pursuing selfish

Men Want a Fairy Tale Love Too | The Dear Son, Show |...

Dear Son, ·

2023/08/02

The burden of manhood is heavy. Sometimes we get weighed down with its duties and responsibilities, which leaves little room for an expectation of being loved the way we want and need to be. Some men want a fairy tale love too. This may be a hot take for some, and others may assume the title is just for the views, but I challenge you to really give this some thought. A fairy tale is just a curated escape from reality. I’d submit that everyone has (or has had) those moments in life. For this

Enjoy the visual experience: https://youtu.be/emwkuqJqGxMThe curse of the unworthy is a quiet disruptor, distancing many men from the life they deserve. Many of us constantly speak negative outcomes over our lives because we simply believe that our past mistakes define who we are. Sure, the bad behaviors must be addressed, but once they are in the past, we cannot allow them to be the ceiling to our joy, peace, freedom, success, wealth, and love that we crave (and deserve). This conversation, as do

Enjoy the visual experience here: https://youtu.be/1N1VrNMuEcoDear Son, the world will offer you many definitions of what a man is and how he is expected to behave. Most of these definitions are filtered through the lens of personal experiences. Some may sound logical while others will clearly sound farfetched. It’s important that you understand how to recognize your full range of emotions and embrace them responsibly. Merriam-Webster defines masculinity as “the quality or nature of the male; the

Sometimes we see things and people how they are presented to us, not knowing what is really happening at the core. We live in a microwave, celebratory, highlight reel of a world. Our timelines are constantly flooded with unimaginable lifestyles, wins, and “goals” that shape how we view and value success. Comparison has been stealing joy for centuries. It may be more pronounced at different stages of

This is a metaphor for being so passionate about a person or a thing that you rush to defend the person or thing no matter what. Your friend says that someone hurts their feelings, and you’ve already put your boxing gloves on, ready to spar. You don’t even know if the friend antagonized the person, and you really don’t care. It’s up! Jumping out the window doesn’t just apply to

I’m not talking about an adult parent and adult child, but literal kids (toddlers in some cases). There are so many barriers to creating that kind of relationship in my mind, but this conversation may have changed that. There are several circumstances that yield single parenthood. I can understand how parent-child friendships form when they are

2023/06/13

Enjoy the visual experience here: https://youtu.be/Ti1q8YN92D0Practice DOES NOT make perfect. This is a fact. Practice only makes you consistently good at what you do in practice. Practice wrong…you’ll surely play wrong. Practice long, and you’ll only gain endurance. Perfect practice is the only key to greatness. Don’t you agree?This may initially sound like a harsh take, but it’s pretty sound when you think about it. Repetition builds muscle memory, and eventually creates a habit or an almost

I’m willing to pay for convenience, and I’m not ashamed of that. When it’s time to travel, upgrade me please and thank you. If I’m driving to an event, front row park me for a fee. If I’m bored on the plane, take my money, and give me internet. I, like many, want what I want when I want it. Unfortunately, that convenience-craving character doesn’t easily detach from my roles as father and husband. Through repetition, it became a way of life and has robbed my family of meaningful opportunities to

Dear Son, choose your wife carefully! Choosing a spouse is one of the most important decisions anyone can make in life. It’s a very intentional process, or at least it should be. The process is longer for some than it is for others, but there isn’t a process that guarantees favorable results after “I do.” Many feel like marriage isn’t worth it. I believe a healthy marriage is.People change, that’s just a constant in life. These changes differ by the individual and occur at different phases of life

Let's take an honest look back at various decision points throughout our lives for context. A teenager that doesn't care for his parents' rules, may believe (with full conviction) that he is ready to move out. Emotionally, that may be true, but is he really prepared to handle life independently? Maybe a young woman is so ready

Enjoy the visual experience here: https://youtu.be/HqASbXeg_lIDear Son, you will be better because of me, not in spite of me. A common sentiment amongst parents is the desire to provide a better experience to their children than what they had as a child. Every generation should be greater than the previous one, I agree. Sometimes we need to assess the source of our motivation to do or be better in life. In my opinion, anytime success is rooted in resentment, that’s a dangerous place to operate

Sometimes we just need to acknowledge when our children a great job and shut up. Seriously, too often praise is delivered with a slight sprinkle of shade. Need example? “Hey son, you did a great job cutting the grass, but next time do it like this.” If this sounds familiar, congratulations on admitting it. I hear that’s the first step to most recovery processes. There’s a time and place for constructive criticism. The frequency of communicating it is as important as the delivery method. We had a

Consider what the bridge connects and what the wall protects. I’ll wait. Either can facilitate or stifle successful relationships with your children.
