FEELING LIKE A KING THIS WEEKEND 💙
Beth made me this Pimms (a traditional English drink) as King Charles' coronation played on the TV.
She put strawberries, slices of cucumber, and fresh mint leaves in there, but most of all, love.
When I'd finished it, I lifted the glass to show her it was empty, and smiled...
To which she responded by lighting up, and getting excited to go and make me another.
Just because she loves doing nice things for me.

The next day, my daughter (11) makes homemade BBQ sauce while I work the grill.
She'd already made a cake from scratch the day before. And earlier we planted seed potatoes together to harvest in a few months.
She declares that she wants to be a chef. And as highly skilled as she is academically, she's unafraid to pursue what she loves...
Despite what the world tells her she 'should' do.

I call up to my son (15), to ask him to cut the grass, he asks if he can have 5 more minutes on his game.
5 minutes later, I'm watching him push the mower around as I flip burgers. He doesn't say anything, but I can tell he likes being given these jobs.
Shirt off, working away in the sun, he has muscles I would have been envious of at 15.
When he's done, he squares up to me and we start to spar, using the skills I taught him. He says he would have beat me in a real fight.
I tell him he might be right.

Similarly, when I took him to the gun club the day before, and he was able to hold his own in a conversation with the old boys.
Observing the unwritten hierarchy, able to take the bantar that establishes who the elders are.
He doesn't hesitate to pick up a broom at the end of the session to sweep up the shell casings.

There is no dollar amount I would exchange this for.
These are the things that make me wealthy.
I want all men to experience this feeling.
To become the kings of their lives.
Get clear on what you want your life to look like. Then become the person for whom such a life is inevitable 🦁💛
