Your children do not need to be entertained every minute.

They need to be brought into a real life.

Let them carry the tools.
Let them crack the eggs.
Let them mow crooked lines into the lawn.
Let them struggle.
Let them fail.
Let them discover that they're capable.

That requires something from you too.

You have to surrender control.
Accept the mess.
Let the project take twice as long.
Stay curious when you fail.
Stop trying to create perfect conditions, and start becoming the kind of man who can thrive in imperfect ones.

Great men aren't remembered because they dominated every room.

They're remembered because everyone around them became stronger, steadier, and more capable because they were there.

That's legacy.

Not your name on a building.

Your fingerprints on the next generation.

If you're a father—or hope to become one—this conversation is for you.

Here's where you can find Pat and The Father's Guild.
