Nick Bare

He's wild.

I mean, today...

He was in the laundry room pulling all the towels out of the cabinets.

He was in the kitchen turning the gas stove burners on, opening the oven,

pulling the trash out.

We've had to put locks on all our cabinets and drawers because the kid is chaotic and a mess.

And this drove me wild for the longest time because I wanted control.

I wanted cleanliness.

I wanted organization.

And I eventually learned the hard way

That you can't control everything in the moment.

And sometimes you just have to embrace the chaos and allow yourself to live in the chaos and teach and influence your children how to clean up, what to do and what not to do, but not follow them around and clean it up for them.

That's, like I said, perhaps the most humbling and profound lesson that is applicable, not just to emptying cabinets and drawers and trash and all of those things, but realizing that you can't control everything, especially as young parents.

And that you have to teach them the way of living and life and

right versus wrong and hard versus easy.

But it's been humbling to learn.

But I'm learning it now that chaos is going to happen.

Messiness is going to happen.

But it just has to be embraced.

What I'm loving, I'm loving my training right now.
