You Must Amend Your Life

Daily Dad
About this episode

“Nobody wants to think about this. We love our kids too much. We love our lives too much. We have too much to do. But we have to stop. We have to stop and think about this unpleasant fact: We will not be here forever. Nobody will be.”

Ryan explains why you need to be with your children in the present moment, on today’s Daily Dad Podcast.
