What does Father’s day mean to me?

Hello this is Maxim Nazaire and this is my fitness Journey.

When I think about Father’s day I think about this day as a day to celebrate Men doing what God called them to do:  to be strong leaders for their families.  Fathers should create a healthy, safe, and nurturing environment where their children can  grow to be strong and confident individuals.  Fathers should have a role in raising children to become helpful  citizens in our society and just all around good people.

I didn’t grow up with my father so my mother had to play both roles at times.  I think she did a great job, but for a boy to grow into a man, there has to be a male role model for him to learn from;  A father figure to emulate.  A positive male figure to teach him discipline.  I was blessed to of had brothers, cousins, teachers, coaches, clergymen, and mentors to guide me during my childhood and teenage years.

Thank you to all of the men who take on the  responsiblities that come with  being a father.  I also challenge every man who reads this to look for a child to mentor because it truly takes a village to raise a child.

Take care, God bless, and remember you can be fit or you can be Fit2DMax!
