Don't be passive...

Hi, I'm new to FP. My brother-in-law put me on to this site. Just tracked the first half of my first day. This all stemmed from a men's conference at my church called "Stepping Up". What an awesome conference. It gave me a lot to think about, a lot to consider. Most importantly it left me with the mantra, "Don't Be Passive."

I have been passive, all too passive. I've let things around me just happen, going thru the motions of life. From my marriage, to my kids, to my job, to my waistline. Enough is enough. I refuse to let things happen TO me anymore. I'm going to take control of my life and it starts with my weight. I have a hiking trip planned in the summer with my boys. In 20 years I NEED to walk my precious 5-year old daughter down the aisle. I need to grow old with my wife and experience life with her by my side. None of that is going to happen if I continue to be passive and just let things happen to me. My waistline grows and my life shrinks.

Not anymore. It can't just happen if I refuse to let it happen. I refuse to be passive anymore. My children need a strong father and my wife needs a strong man in the house she can rely on and count on to love her and be there for her. Males are everywhere, men are rare. It's time I stepped up to become the loving, caring, strong man I need to be. My wife and children deserve nothing less.
