“Everybody’s sore. Everybody’s tired. Everybody has an excuse. . . . Don’t be everybody.”
Lewis Caralla
As fathers and husbands, it’s easy to fall into the same trap as everyone else—always tired, stressed, and running on empty.
But we’re called to more than just surviving the day.
Instead of making excuses or letting life wear us down, let’s show up with energy, purpose, and joy for our families.
Let’s be the ones who stand out, who refuse to be defined by the chaos around us, and lead our homes with strength and intention.
WISDOM
Surrender the Me for the We.
Phil Jackson said, "Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We."
Great teams know how to come together.
They connect. They communicate. They trust each other.
Take this and apply it to any of your roles either at home or at work.
Leave your ego at the door.
Be who your team needs you to be.
Do what your team needs you to do.

Whether it’s taking care of something around the house, offering encouragement, or simply listening, find a way to serve someone else and contribute to their greater good.
Play for the team, not just for yourself.
