Today is Father’s Day and the first without my Dad. It’s odd because even though we were estranged for many years I thought of him often. Now that he’s gone the permanence has settled in. While I know the past can’t be changed I do take solace knowing that I have strived to learn from my mistakes and set a better example for my own kids.

I don’t believe in willpower. If you ask someone if they want to lose weight and they don’t take action it’s not because they don’t want to be fit. It’s because the pain of not achieving the goal didn’t outweigh the pleasure of the status quo. When you’re ready for change you’ll do it. When you’re not you won’t.
