A Single Sentence from a Season Ahead

Parent's passions connect families and

shape their kid's lives. It's why I still hate Texas Football.

A Matter of Heart 💛

This week my father had surgery. Heart bypass surgery to be exact. It was expected but that didn't make it any less complicated.

Being around my dad all week has been a joy despite the challenging state he's in. Thankfully he's recovering well. I've had some time for reflection walking in and out of the hospital and here's what I've concluded...

Getting older isn't a choice we have, but we can choose the depth of the relationship we keep with our family.

Today I'm sharing three key ideas for Dads. Truthfully they are about healthy multi-generational families and the impact they have on everyone. Your Power-Decade is the most fertile ground imaginable to put these into action.

Words

The best 5 words you can hear from your Dad...

I am proud of you.

Hearing it spoken to you when you are 5 or 45 is equally as powerful. Dads can change a child's entire life with these five words.

Priorities

Don't throw away your Grandad years by ignoring or exploiting your Dad years.

Intentional Dads keep a close watch and don't abuse their ...

🏢 Work

💪🏼 Health

⛳️ Hobbies

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Relationships

Stories

Dads who share stories with their kids shape their futures.

Stories of ingenuity.

Stories of toughness.

Stories of adventure.

Stories of friendship.
Stories of compassion.
Stories of rags to riches.

I spent several hours in the car with my dad over the summer & the best part was listening to stories he told me about his dad.

His stories reminded me I come from a long line of good men. His dad was a farmer, entrepreneur, and a visionary. Many of those traits are still a deep part of my family today.

Want to dive in deeper? Here are 4-rules you must have to create a multi-generation family. I hope you have some special time planned with your family coming soon. Ignore perfect and embrace participation.

Next Friday, after the food coma and sale shopping has started, I'll be back to answer this question: What are the qualities or attributes of a good parent to their children?

In other words, "How to be the kind of parent kids are thankful for."

See you next Friday,
Finley
