Kirk Welsh | Architect of Alignment

I talk with fathers every week who are barely surviving at work, slowly losing grip at the crib, and see their bodies suffering in the process. When the convo starts getting real, I hear the same three sentences:

“I’ll do it later.”
Later is a bet that life will calm down on its own. Bro, we both know life ain’t just giving breaks like that. At least not for long.

“Time will fix it.”
Time fixes nothing by itself. Time just makes the drift feel normal while your lady and kids get the left over pieces of you.

“I’ll suck it up and it’ll work out eventually.”
This is the one I hear most. But whatever waits for leftover time gets whatever is left, and there is never anything left.

Time to tighten up, my brother.
