With great power comes great responsibility.
A lot of dads feel powerless in their own lives these days, constantly having their decisions swayed by the ever-present needs of their family, their employers or employees, the government etc
As men feeling like we have control of our lives is necessary for our mental health and happiness.
I think we all want to feel like the captain of our own ship, sailing the people that mean the most to us to new and prosperous destinations.
The trouble is you cannot have the power of a man who leads his own way in life if you do not also take on the responsibility of a leader.
This means holding yourself accountable for every outcome or circumstance you find yourself in in your life.
I hate my job!
Becomes: I chose to work for this company in this industry…
