Your son is watching you quit.

He won't remember what you said. He'll remember what you did when it got hard — when you were tired, when no one was looking, when quitting would have been easy.

Every chain that held your father back ends with you — or it doesn't. That's the choice. You either pass down strength or you pass down the same excuse you inherited.

Be the man he'll tell stories about. Not the man he'll have to forgive.
