Travel Time

Dads travel.

Sometimes dads don't even leave where they are and they're busy traveling. 

But actual travel suggests movement. Here to there. Hey! Where are you going?

It's your move. Travel. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

186,000mps. Light travels 186,000 miles in one second. As the earth travels around the sun while spinning on its axis how fast are we traveling? How fast does the entire solar system move as it travels through our MilkyWayed galaxy?

Successful travel has much to do with preparation.

Being ready, like a good ol' Boy Scout.

Being able to orient oneself. Which direction to take. When to go, and why.

Travelers. Not passengers and not tourists; travelers.

Some travelers end up being pioneers because of their timing.

Here's to traveling. Dads.

Responsibility

Responsibility; the ability to respond.

But it goes beyond just responding, doesn't it?

Dads can't just respond...their response needs to be perfect.

Appropriate, timely, pointed, and informative, but always guiding toward a greater understanding.

Dads define responsibility, otherwise they'd rely upon someone else to guide and inform their family?

Responsibility.

Every day.

Every opportunity.

Big challenge, but we dads, we can respond.

Flew into Boston yesterday on Virgin America. Flew FIRST CLASS on Virgin America. First Class wasn't the result of big bucks, more the impact of "knowledge." Not always who you know, sometimes it's what you know. Other times it's just accepting what we're told. First Class is so expensive. That's what they tell you. First Class doesn't have to be expensive.

Why is there First Class?

Steerage?

Why not First Class service for everyone? Why limit it to just those in First Class?

It's what we as dads need to aspire to. Right? Provide a First Class experience for ours.

First Class for our everyone, all the time. Every flight. Ever walk. Everything we do.

First Class, baby!

Premiere Class. The Best. The best we can be. What? Settle for less? Expect less?

That's what we want our families to think? Yeah! Come on, try! Give it your sort of!

Your Grandchild's Child

Poseurs abound, don't they? Pretenders. 

"Strike a pose." (flash)

Men who strike a "dad" pose may find short-term solutions, but in the long haul the image, the pose of the successful 'dad,' is the summation of all of the experiences, not just one 'pose.' Not just one 'photo op.'

The success of a 'dad' is reflected in his great grandchildren.

It's the long running full-length feature, and the feature's sequel, and its sequel, that reflect a "dad's" success, not one still image.

Live streaming reality, moment to moment, connecting and reconnecting and developing and manifesting and realizing...if you're a dad what are your children like when they're parents? When they're moms and dads?

How do they define their children, your grandchildren?

How often have you been able to witness the pride in a grandchild as they present their child to their grandparent?

Now that's a photo op!
