A Perfect Entry for our 100th Post!
Wow, we’ve made it! Our 100th post!
A heartfelt Thank-You to all you Incredible Dads and Moms who have contributed to this site, supported us, commented on posts, recommended topics, visited often, told their friends and, most importantly, continued to strive to become better parents!
It feels like I’ve been waiting a long time for the perfect topic for our 100th post. I considered recapping our month long trip to the Philippines and Hong Kong with all the various tips and learnings that came along with it (that post is still coming). I also considered a huge contest (but austerity measures shot that down for now).
Then, like it usually does, inspiration hit me with a flash while I finished re-reading “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” by Robin Sharma (great book to read if you haven’t yet).
So for our 100th post, I’d like to recap one small section of the book that gives all of us parents something to think about. For all you Incredible Parents out there who dedicate your lives to your kids, enjoy!
(Excerpts from “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” by Robin Sharma)
“And please never, ever forget the gift of family.”
“Live your children’s childhood. Few things are as meaningful as being a part of your children’s childhood. What is the point of climbing the steps of success if you have missed the first steps of your own kids? What good is owning the biggest house on your block if you have not taken the time to create a home? Take the time to watch them grow and flourish.”
“The best gift you could ever give your children is Love. Get to know them again.”
“Show them that they are far more important to you than the fleeting rewards of your professional career.”
And with that, we’ve come full circle, back to the original reason why this site was started 18 months ago, to help us become better Dads and Moms to our kids.
Thanks again everyone, it’s been a blast and looking forward to the next 100 posts as IncredibleDad.com continues to evolve and grow!
