Damn Dad, Why You Gotta Do That To Me

Damn, my dad just really kicked me in the nuts with this one.

I just got off the phone with my dad.

Made me lay on the bed face down for a while with my head in my pillow.

We chatted for a while sharing news.

He's got a new truck at work, I just got back from the Philippines.

He's going to my uncle's birthday in the weekend, I'm working on the new website

He's happy, I'm happy.

As we wrapped the convo we said the love you's and then he goes and outdoes himself.

He said how he couldn't be any happier with his children, we're "perfect kids".

That he could say it with a "whole lot of heart".

That he was "so proud, so proud".

"Love you heaps" he said as he hung up the phone.

I was speechless.

Teary eyed.

I got off the phone and my heart felt like it was on the floor.

I get asked what my motivation is every day and here is your answer.

To make my dad proud...

But when you hear it with your own two ears it's a different story.

DAM DAD!

Dad hardly even knows what I do for a job as a coach, especially online. He can't even move a mouse on the computer, he freaks out when a cellphone has colour. He's that type of guy.

The bottom line is find something that's going to make you stick to what you need to stick to.

Find that motivation.

Make it hurt if you don't do what you promise yourself to do.
