How important is keeping your word?
As a father or father figure, it is imperative not just because children don’t forget promises, but you do not want to set that example of not keeping your word for personal or professional reasons. Keeping your word with your children gives them a sense of comfort knowing you will always be there to support them no matter what the issue or situation may be.
When it comes to protecting yourself at all times, physically and mentally, what would you tell your children?
As the father of two girls, I’ve always stressed to my daughters the importance of protecting themselves and each other. I think they would naturally protect each other physically if the time came for them to, but it’s also important to make sure they are checking on each other’s mental and emotional state on a regular basis.
What advice would you give on being responsible for your own dreams?
To never limit your dreams and know that anything perceived can be achieved. If you can dream of doing something in your life or accomplishing goals that may seem impossible, keep telling yourself anything is possible and you have to be your biggest cheerleader at all times. No one can stop you from doing something you set your mind to do, and no one can tell you what your dreams are and that you can’t achieve them.
