Recently, I’ve been struggling. I have a vision for where I want myself and my family to be, financially. And I think in that financial pursuit, it’s easy to lose sight of the impact of my familial duties. Today, Amara struggled at Jiu Jitsu. She was unmotivated and irritable. I didn’t gas her up and tell her she did well, because quite frankly, she didn’t lol But I told her she could try again tomorrow, that she has to still be kind to herself and that getting better/stronger means that she’s going to have to push herself to do difficult shit. In keeping myself accountable and showing Amara that I can chase and achieve a dream, I like to believe I’m instilling in her the confidence to do the same. Reminding myself and (maybe) others that you can have a profound impact that isn’t measured in dollar signs.
