"He Meant Well"

from The Rising Father Podcast With Chris Rodack · host Chris Rodack

"He meant well" is not a compliment. It is an apology for a man who lived a life of good intentions and zero execution.You tell yourself you will get in shape when work slows down. You tell yourself you will date your wife again when the kids are older. You use the word "someday" as a sedative to numb the guilt of being a mediocre father today.That is a weak lie. "Someday" is not a strategy; it is the excuse you use to avoid accountability right now.Stop negotiating with your excuses. The clock is ticking, and you are running out of time to be the leader they need.Burn "someday" from your vocabulary. Fix your baseline.⁠THE 7 DAY IGNITION PLAN (FREE): https://risingfather.com/start⁠APPLY FOR MEN OF FIRE:⁠https://menoffire.risingfather.com/mensprogram⁠
