Balancing Personal Ambition and Being a Good Parent

Being a dad doesn't mean you have to give up on your personal ambitions. It's okay to have goals, whether it's writing a book, starting a company, or pursuing a career. However, it can be challenging to juggle these aspirations with the responsibilities of fatherhood. While historically it has been women who've faced this conflict more, even fathers, including prime ministers and billionaires, have felt torn between serving their ambitions and being good parents. Margaret Thatcher's autobiography offers a perspective that the home shouldn't limit one's ambition. It's important to remember that pursuing personal achievements, career success, or public service can also serve as teaching moments for your children, demonstrating qualities like hard work, fulfilling one's potential, and being of use to others. Ultimately, it's crucial to prioritize the home and prioritize your children in your actions to show what is truly most important to you.
