Every time you’re around your kids, you’re on stage.
And they’re watching.
They see how you handle stress.
They see how you talk to their mother.
They see how you react when things go wrong.
They see if you quit, complain, or keep moving forward.
You might not think they’re paying attention—but they are.
You’re the main character in the story that’s shaping their lives.
So what story are you performing?
The Fall? Where the protagonist gives up, blames others, and settles for mediocrity?
Or The Forge? Where the protagonist leads with strength, humility, and consistency—no matter how tough it gets?
They don’t need perfection.
They need a real model of what it looks like to rise again after a fall.
To keep fighting. To keep building.
Because one day, they’ll be on stage too.
And the script they follow might just be the one you wrote.
