Climb your mountain - An OBVIOU5 Voice - 007

“And It's just those little things that they remember. And I want to make sure that the rest of you out there are taking those moments to make the best of them. If they're asking you to be pushed on a swing, then get up and do it. If they want to go and play tag if they want to play hide and go seek, if they want to build a fort. It's these little things, these moments in time that you have direct impact on, and you need to take full advantage of that  Because It's little moments like that that sticks in their head as well, and when they're 25 or 30 years old and they're thinking back; what do they remember about their childhood. I hope it's one of those moments.”

“So I've talked too much about other people and different aspects of depression and mental health, and I want to step into my world quickly. When I found out that I was in a depressed state, I didn't talk a whole lot about it, mentioned it with my family talked a little bit there. My brother in law talked with him a bit about it. My best friends had a couple of conversations. But I never really went deep into any one aspect or what I thought was going on or how I was going to combat it.”

“Dad Tip of the day.

The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there. Vince Lombardi.

Think about this. Everybody starts off at the bottom. You've got to climb your way up. You've got to claw your way up that mountain to the top. You've got to fight you've got to be relentless. You will make it to the top of the mountain. As long as you don't give up.

You've taken the first steps. You've hit the first plateau. There's no sense stopping now. You fight for everything that you want. Because right at the top of that mountain is everything that you're fighting for.”
