Father’s are the doorway for the Family.
If they abdicate their role….their family will suffer.
Abdication for a Father, comes from either laziness, wanting something more than their Family, or childishness.
Father’s are always influential.
Either to the good or to the negative.
A son’s progress toward manhood will be stifled and slowed when a Father fails to invest of himself into his son. If the discipline and “man lessons” are not conveyed to the boy …..he may remain a boy in a grown up body.
He, and other people, will suffer for that.
A daughter who seeks and needs her Father’s love, adoration and affirmation, many times will seek that love, adoration and affirmation from some other man, in some alternate way and many times it’s misdirected.
The culture today, in many corners, emasculates the Man.
In the face of that, Men need to shed the worry of being labeled and do what their inner voice tells them to do.
Be a Man.
If your role model failed you….find one who will lift you.
Don’t fail the next generation.
Man up….. as so many have done, and say that the failure does not go to the next generation.
Stop the “slouch to Gomorrah”.
Step out.
Step up.
Stretch yourself.
Be the Man that those around you need you to be.
