Have you ever had a "MOMENT"? One of those moments when your child looks into your eyes and you just know that you will do anything for them? I had one yesterday. My little mini-me, Caleb (the one driving in the video) came up and asked if he could spend his $1 dollar on a truck. We were on our way out the door and so we could just stop in at a store and pick one up for him.
When we got to the store and rounded the corner of the toys section, his eyes lit up and somehow I knew I was in trouble. He bolted right over to the Power Wheels and started jumping in and out of each one. I'm sure every father walks right into this dilemma at some point. Right? :) I initially thought he wanted a Hot Wheels truck, which is about $1. But alas...he wanted a Power Wheels truck, which is more like $150. So for the last hour, he's had his heart set on buying a big Power Wheels truck with his nice crisp one dollar bill. LOL.
Well, what's a daddy to do? I can't break his little heart, so I told him to pick out the one he likes and I'd help him spend his dollar. And wouldn't you know it...he picked out a PINK truck. Haha. He's only 5, he'll learn. So we brought that little pink truck home and he went for a drive, and he even gave his little sister a ride. He's so considerate.
While I watched them drive around the yard I thought to myself "THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO". The next time an inspection goes bad, or a deal starts going south I'm just going to stop and think about that "MOMENT", collect my thoughts and keep putting one foot in front of the other. That's all any of us can do. Stay motivated people, that's the key to success! Well, that and hard work.
