Muscle Minute #39: Be the Change Your Family Needs

“Be the person who changes everything for your family.”

I’m obsessed with this idea. I wanted to be the one who changed everything, the reason why things shifted for the better. Yes, some of that change has been financial, but it’s about more than just money. It’s about creating a family culture.

I want that culture to be loving, with an extra dose of optimism. I want it to be supportive, but with actions that back up those words. I want it to be inspiring, but also resilient, with the ability to persevere through challenges.

The environment I want to create is one that sets us up for success, where success is expected. I want the world we build as a family to allow us to live on our terms, not according to what we’re told. To do this, I sought out education, not just to grow as a leader, but to teach the version of myself that I used to be.

I believe having goals and narratives like this helps drive you on the days when you don’t want to do the work. To achieve this, you have no choice but to keep going.
