Being a good father can be a wonderful experience, an exciting adventure, an accomplishment that you can be proud of. But at some point, every father fears that he’ll mess up, that he’ll be a failure. It comes with the job.
Unfortunately, what doesn’t come with the job is a simple set of instructions. As men, we often will skip the manual, figuring we can wing it … but when things become confusing, it’s nice to have that manual to go back to. Nobody expects you to be perfect…
“Be the change you wish to see in the world”
At Father.world, it’s our mission to help you explore the principles and ideas you carry which define you and your relationship with your family.
“For as he thinks in his heart, so he is” – Proverbs 23:7. One clear message from the bible is the clear connection between our hearts and our minds, which in turn affects our actions. To become a truly great father and role model to your family you must first control your thoughts, concentrating only on positive, uplifting ideas and avoiding negative thoughts.
10 ideas for becoming a better father and husband
Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Sewell used only 1 bat in his 14-year career and struck out only 114 times in 7,132 attempts. He never was convinced that newer or sophisticated equipment would improve his play. When he was in a slump, rather than blame his equipment, he took extra batting practice and focused on his swinging mechanics.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had that same philosophy towards marriage and family life? When things go sour, rather than looking to complain and place blame, we instead would focus on ourselves and what we can do better – how we can improve ourselves and thus improve our family relationships. How can we be more patient towards our family? More thoughtful? More loving? How can we be better role models? A father worthy of his families praise and respect.
