The Ultimate Test

I've wanted kids for as long as I can remember.

I always wanted to be a dad and I always wanted a little girl. I've always wanted a big family.

We currently have 2 kids and plan to have more. The girls are three and a half and one and a half roughly so we are very much in the midst of it!

I love my girls but man, do they know how to test you?!

Being a father is both the most difficult and rewarding thing I've ever done in my life, by far!

But as hard as it can be at times, I've learned to love those hard times.

Emotions are difficult enough for adults to handle let alone a toddler. I mean shit, I'm still figuring out what this big beautiful thing called life is, I can't even begin to imagine it through their eyes.

I was too young to remember much from their age and maybe that's intentional.

But as a person who has challenged himself to manifest a better life, take control of his emotions, and build the life he desires, young children are the ultimate test.

Whether they realize it or not, they test me constantly and that's a huge part of the reason I have changed so much in a relatively short period of time.

It's easy to get pissed off when your kids are being a pain in the ass. It's hard to stay calm and in control of your feelings and actions. I'm not perfect, I lose my shit from time to time, but I have gotten SO good at staying in control when my body REALLY doesn't want me to.

It's an incredible test of discipline and control. I have become a far better person because of them! On several occasions, I have written down in my gratitude practice that I am grateful for my children and their ability to test me or the fact that they've made me more emotionally intelligent.

And with beyond a doubt, I believe that my quest to manifest a better life and take control of my emotions has made me a better father. Before I started all of this, I used to hold grudges, I used to let my anger fester, I'd drag my mood out causing both myself and others to suffer in the process.

Now, if I get mad, I can flip my script with ease. But more often than not, I can avoid getting there altogether.

Having kids is the ultimate test to manifesting anything in life because emotions are everything. They are the language of the subconscious mind.

If you have kids, ask yourself - have your kids made you a better person?
