Legacy.

So looks like I’ve dropped the ball with Barney.

Long story short, the last four weeks at this end have been a shit show.

Both Em and Barney have been taken out by COVID.

So far I’m fine.

I thought I had some supergene – turns out I’ve just got no mates and no social life 🙂

Anyway, this whole shebang has resulted in a month of minimal sleep.

Made worse by the fact that I’ve used this to fuel a self-indulgent pity party.

Meaning for the last 30 days, as Barney and I have sat for breakfast, I’ve muttered these fateful words:

“Wow – Barney, I’m tired…”

And here’s the kicker.

For the last two days straight, and before an ounce of coffee has hit my lips, Barney has beaten me to the punch and declared:

“Wow – Dad, I’m tired…”

… Despite him getting 11 hours of solid sleep.

Meaning it’s time to consider this…

He’s NOT actually tied.

He is in fact, just copying what I’ve said.

Shining a big massive light on the reality that kids ruthlessly watch and copy what we do.

Or in other words my friend, it’s time to understand that…

  • When you are glued to your phone – your kids are watching.
  • When you are glued to the couch – your kids are watching.
  • When you give up – your kids are watching.
  • When you make excuses – your kids are watching.
  • When you pass the buck – your kids are watching.

AND…

  • When you choose to move mountains – your kids are watching.
  • When you choose to do hard shit – your kids are watching.
  • When you choose to provide and protect – your kids are watching.

So thanks to Barney, my mantra for money this week is this:

LEGACY.

Consider that, setting him up for success, not failure.

Best way to do that?

Setting a good fucking example.

It’s the greatest gift men like you and I can give the next generation.
