"If you are away from your family, you should spend that time winning"
AMEN

[mayacote]

Kobe Bryan once said *the one mistake we make in life is believing we have time*

"If you away from your family, you better win" 💯

[smartin]

I almost cried as soon as I heard this. I work close to 90 hours a week from 5pm to 5am Everyday. I miss my sons but I grew up poor and want to give them everything I never had

[jiggeplaya]

As a dad who struggles with this, it hits home. I honestly think of this daily.

[KAS-]

powerful words... Had same situation with my eldest who was 5 at the time...

Son: "Why are you working all the time dad, how comes you cant play with me"

Me: "I have to work son I'm sorry. I work all the time so I can provide for our family, so I can buy you guys things, so we can live in this house safely, so we can have food on our table and in our fridge, so we have running water, electric and heating. I'm sorry but in this world we have to work hard so that we can have a comfortable life and not struggle"

My son shows acknowledgement of what I said and walks of as I turn around and get back to work
Moments later he comes back... with his little money box... and says "Here dad, now you don't have to work"

I nearly broke down in tears when he did that. I was absolutely blown away.

And yet at the end of the day no one has ever regretted spending more time with their kids. My Dad is a very hard worker and I always admired that but what I admired the most was that he’s turned down massive opportunities to be with us more because he said the life he already has with us was more valuable than any one that more money could buy him and I respected the heck out of him for it. Such a great topic to ponder. Thank you for being so open with it and starting the discussion!

In one word: Purpose. If you're making sacrifice make sure you are doing something you love, or for someone you love.

"If you're away from your kids, you better make it count." Wow

[juliane.alexander]

"If I eat less, would you stay home more?" Wow. I'm not usually emotional, BUT . . . . . . . you got me that time!
Pass me a napkin!

[Levi-Langham]

Man this hit hard and I definitely cried. I bust my ass relentlessly to provide for my family and win in life. To set that example for my kids and I've had these exact moments where my 5year old ask questions like this that crush me inside and tear my heart out. At times I feel I'm the only one around that makes these sacrifices. This was so encouraging to me. Definitely the best video you have ever done. ( In my opinion ) . I relate hard core.

I didn’t see eye to eye with my Dad growing up, I was blessed with the opportunity to care for him during his end of days and got to understand what a great father and friend he always was. To all the men out there …. Be Great

[tomdixon]

The kids don’t understand high performance intellectually, but they can sense and feel that you are doing the right thing. Just like they can sense or feel when you are away for the bars and other selfish pursuits.

[siphosimwanza]

I'm not a dad yet, but I believe this message was meant for me. Especially the part where you say that you need to put your vision first. I'm in a place right now where I'm at a crossroads, thinking about whether I should stay where I am and please those around me or leave and chase my dreams. And so hearing this, I believe I have my answer.

[TheFoxphire]

You keep getting better and better. Your influence and words are greatness.

[vernonspeller]

Exactly, live your purpose... best example for our children.
Not just to pay bills

[VlogCity]

The quote about making that time away count hits home for me. Thank you

[paulbrown]

Being an entrepreneur, I needed to hear this. Many times I feel guilty because I am missing the time with my children. But then I push even harder to harness my goals. "SPENDING MY TIME AWAY WISELY."

[tiburciohernandez]

I’m a strong believer in this..there’s times I question myself..but I always remind myself why I’m doing it...I’m a believer that it’s not the time you spend at home or with your kids the makes the difference it’s..it’s the quality of time that makes the difference...I talk about this with my kids all the time I share my goals and dreams with them ..I tell them I don’t believe in excuses or that things are impossible as long as there is a will..I spend a lot of time away but the little time I’m home I make sure they count!!!🚛💨

[joshshepherd]

As a single father that works full time, this message really hits a soft spot for me. There is always a certain amount of guilt I feel for not being able to spend more time with my son, which is magnified to some degree because of the added guilt of having to make up for his mother not being present. Its all a delicate balance of being an example of work ethic and day to day parenting. Showing your children that a father goes to work every day to provide for the family but also is around enough to answer all of the "but why?" and "how?" as well as build some legos from time to time.
Thanks for the message!
