The Purpose of Being a Dad
As a dad, your purpose on this planet is driven by the love and responsibility you have for your children. They are the reason you work hard, fight for causes, and endure the challenges of life. Just like the unnamed father in Cormac McCarthy's The Road finds significance in protecting his child, you too carry the fire for your kids. This purpose comes with great responsibility and should be embraced wholeheartedly as it shapes your actions and decisions towards building a better future for your children.
The Importance of Carrying the Fire
Being a dad is not a mere excuse to act selfishly or dishonestly. It is a second chance to make a positive impact on the lives of your children. Carrying the fire means fulfilling your role as a dad with integrity, kindness, and dedication. The warrant you have as a dad comes with the weighty responsibility to do your best for your children. Your commitment to being a dad should be unwavering, as the future of your kids depends on it.
