For all those people out there who have kids, I’m sure you understand what I felt when my son Philip was born. For those of you who don’t have kid, I will try to share with you all the emotions that I experienced when my first son was born.

When you hold your newborn in your arms, you can’t help but feel how powerless he is. Without you, your child won’t survive. That’s when you realize you must be strong for your child. You can’t be a victim anymore. You can’t be weak anymore. You have to take responsibility and do everything you can to make sure your child will survive and grow strong.  

The day my son was born changed my life forever because I suddenly made some powerful decisions that led to my transformation. The day my son Philip was born, I decided I would do everything I can to make sure he had a bright future. I made the decision that he would have opportunities that I never had as a child and as a teenager. I decided I would never waste my time again. Before my child was born, my biggest waste of time was watching TV. I used to spend entire days in front of the TV on weekends and many hours every night on weekdays. I suddenly realized that this behaviour would certainly not lead me to the future I wanted for myself and for my son.

I also decided I would spend 2 hours minimum every day building my part time business. No more excuses. No more procrastination. No more complaining. Two hours would be the minimum. Most entrepreneurs and successful people work more than 100 hours a week. I decided I would start doing the same thing. I also decided I would exercise every day because I wanted to be fit and healthy and be a role model for my kid. I also decided to set long-term goals for my life.

The decisions I made on the day my son was born transformed my life forever. Within a year, I became a millionaire and a successful entrepreneur. I became fit and healthy. I also started to like myself a lot more. I became a hard worker. I became a man of character. I became a man of action. And I became a man with a dream and a vision for his life. The birth of my son was a huge gift from God to me. The person I became as a result of having a child was a miracle.

My son is now 5 years old. He’s healthy, smart and very cute. My wife and I take very good care of him. I am now a multimillionaire. I have never been happier in my whole life. The future looks very bright to me and my family. I want to thank God for giving me a son. I wish everybody can experiment the joy of having a child.

God bless you everybody.

Take care
