I worry about being a good dad a lot.

Am I a good example?
Am I working hard enough?
Am I teaching them the right values?

Do I let them watch too much TV?
Do I make sure they get enough sleep?

Should I read to them more?
Should I give them more chores?

Are they going to be ok when they move out?
Are they going to be successful and happy?

And so on the list of worries spirals out of control until my wife wraps her arms around my neck, looks romantically into my eyes, and says:

"Did you shower yet today?"

In her defense, I did just get back from the gym so off I go...

Ok, where was I?
Oh yeah... the worry spiral.

All those questions boil down to the real question all good dads wrestle with:

You should be proud of yourself for asking.

Do you know why?

Because only good dads are worried about being good dads.

You know who never worries about being a good dad?
Who never asks themselves the tough questions?

Bad dads.

Are you a great dad? Maybe.
Are you the perfect dad? Nope.

I bet you are a good dad.

You don't have to be the "best".
You just have to try.

Good dads want what's best for their kids. Sometimes that means letting them struggle and fail.

Fatherhood is a full contact sport.

Some days you win.
Some days you lose.

But you keep trying. You keep practicing. You keep showing up.

Good dads like us?

We keep playing the game.

Move your body.
Clear your mind.
Repeat.

Keep up the good work!
