When change becomes the constant, find peace in the process of the Almighty. Blessed and unbelievably grateful to be Father to this little miracle. 🫶🏼🙌❤️‍🔥

-
Lord knows I’ve made a lot of mistakes in becoming a Father and a man; the question that has made the biggest difference for me is am I reflecting with full accountability.

I never pictured being a respectable man; I was busy doing drugs in high school.

Something changed when I realized life is worth living.

When I realized there was more to life than fun and nonsense.

It took a wake up call that hurt like hell. It took a long look in the mirror at a time I wanted to run away from it. It then took a whole hell of a lot of work to remain in the change I wanted to see.

You deserve that for yourself.
Find it, fight it, don’t forget it.

Your Pain Doesn’t have to Be your Present

but our over-reaction to what we go through can certainly make it so

You must look at your situation as it is and begin to take responsibility in ways that make a difference

Comment “pain” below if this resonates

I’ve been chopping wood since I was about 10 years old.

Nothing crazy day to day like some back country boys, but enough to help me begin to understand balance.

Balance of both the tree and the axe.

Balance of the breath, muscle, and mind.

Balancing what you know about the type of wood, the grain, the knots, etc all with the force your body can generate both safely and effectively.

The wood will vary; Some are wide, some are thin.

Some are thick but have been laid down for 2 years and will bust apart with little to no work.

Others are skinny, but you’ll find them strong & sturdy - be it still full of sap or water-logged.

Sometimes we get to choose the stump to bust, sometimes fate chooses it for us.

On the other hand, working to understand who we are, that’s a question of its own caliber.

He who swings the axe is forced to consider the possibility of danger; be it missing entirely, breaking the handle, or losing control and finding out how well your skin holds up against a tool made for splitting logs.

The strike is the endless study.

The ongoing refinement by fire.

It’s the energetic manifestation of how, why, and when you’ve shown up overtime.

Finding that balance is what gives us sovereignty. It’s what gives us the angle or the understanding to make the move that deliberately brings us closer to our desired outcome.

Many of us swing the axe of our day to day life with little to no balance; we refuse to learn from our mistakes because we fail to be accountable for walking into the woods of life to begin with.

Without the chop, the wood doesn’t split. Without the split, there is no fire. Without the fire, you freeze to death or starve and you wonder why.

We’re meant to thrive, not just survive.

Thrive, my friend. God Bless. by @mitchelllbrooks

The work never ends and that’s something we should all be thankful for.

Sometimes we have to forget how long of a game we have in front of us and just focus on taking the next step.

You can call it Compartmentalization.

I enjoy the age old adage of eating the elephant the only way possible; one bite at a time.

As Men, Fathers, and Husbands, we’re called to have both an enduring balance of vision and a willingness to march forward, day by day, with the right attitude and integrity.

Who are you when your plan falls apart?
Who do you rely on when the help you once had disappears?

Will you die on your feet, unapologetically living your truth?

Or will you allow the ways of this world to influence your decision to crumble?

Don’t let this world fool you; your sense of self is undeniably important and sometimes all you can focus on is who you are today, for a better tomorrow.

I’m always watching over you little girl. You light my world up and you never stop surprising me with your capacity for boundless joy.

My hope and prayer is that I do a well enough job as your daddy to keep the right environments around you that you never lose that sense. That whatever happens, you continue to see the gift it is to be alive, the way I believe you do now.

I’ll never be perfect, that’s for sure, but I promise to do my best to give you your rightful grace and to support you through the all that the world will throw at you.

I want to protect you and your Heart, I want you to be able to appreciate the process of becoming yourself, not to feel rushed or overwhelmed or stressed throughout it all.

You and I have been affirming “I’m a dreamer” together for years now and I cannot wait to see what that means for you! by @mitchelllbrooks

Sometimes a sweaty ass is the only way to test who will really rock with you.

When the day gets longer, the work gets deeper and your wits are starting to fall short, who shows up with the mission still top of mind?

Who can you actually rely on?

Who around you knows themselves well enough to choose to stand strong when most would choose to give in?

The hard work of life starts and never ends with the Grace that comes with real accountability.

As Men and as Fathers, we’re called to simultaneously step into both a greater sense of submission and authority.

We all go through the process

The struggle.
The pain.
The days when we’ve tried our damndest and still fall short.

The weight isn’t meant to be carried alone. It’s meant to be felt and worked through.

It’s meant to establish you as a Greater Leader for the Kingdom

But it starts when you look in the mirror. by @mitchelllbrooks

2026 summer has been an adventure so far - never ever ever a dull moment with my little world running, climbing, jumping, joking and singing around.

After almost 5 years of being your daddy, I still have so much to learn but not a day goes by where I’m not beyond grateful to be challenged by you and your not afraid to speak your mind, strong-willed-hard-headed, creative, lovable little amazing self that you are.

Whether you’re making me proud, slightly worried, highly excited, or a grand mixture of it all with a side of thank-you-God presence; you make me the happiest man in the world.

I’m real far from a perfect man, but you make me want to be the best man I can be. taken in Indian Land, South Carolina by @mitchelllbrooks
