From an email I received earlier. It was a marketing army email. However, it was so well written I've decided to share it with you guys.

My Dad is my hero.

I will never forget that man.

He died on April 9th, 2017.

My Dad is a hero to me for many reasons. He taught me about hard work, responsibility and of course … he taught me the phrase, “If it is to be, it’s up to me.”

My Dad was a business owner and entrepreneur in his own right. Dad often told me, “Tim, you can have and do whatever you want … IF you’re willing to put the work in.”

He’d also say things like, “The harder you work, the luckier you get.”

When I was in high school, my Dad never missed a football game. He’d always talk to me after every game and he knew what had happened on EVERY play. He wasn’t really watching the game … he was watching ME. He was watching the battles, struggles and victories I was going through on every play.

You may be thinking, “So what, Tim?”

Well, here’s the point I’d like to make: Who sees YOU as their hero?

Now before you dismiss this, I want you to really think about this question.

Because I promise you … there IS someone in your life who considers you their hero.

And being a hero isn’t something that you just DO and call it done.

Nope.

Being a hero is something you have to work on every single day!

It’s every interaction you have with your son or daughter.

It’s the neat little surprises you give your wife or your husband.

It’s going to work every day and working hard to support your family. It’s figuring out your next career move when things don’t work out at your current job.

It’s opening the door for someone who needs help.

It’s praying for the safety, security and health of our country.

THAT is what being a hero is all about.

You know what else makes you a hero? It’s when YOU accept the responsibility of being your family’s first line of defense.

It’s when you decide that your plan for keeping your family safe and secure is NOT called ‘hope.’

It’s when you decide to accelerate your journey toward becoming a confident protector and defender.

What you're describing is a good dad.

I know dads who know jack about their kids and are at best, glorified baby sisters.
