Yesterday, I had one of the most fulfilling and happiest days of my life.
All I had to do to gain this feeling was take care of my baby girl for the majority of the day, mostly by myself (the “mostly” is debatable; you’d have to get my wife’s opinion).
All I did was follow my baby’s daily 4-month baby schedule that was created by my wife. My wife and babysitter also follow this schedule, but personally, I didn’t think it would work. However, my wife told me that if you actually follow the schedule, it works. The baby will nap, feed, and play as scheduled, and if you veer off from the schedule, the baby will also.
So, yesterday, I simply followed the schedule, and what do you know, it worked?! I felt like a Super Dad! LOL. I got to spend a lot of quality time with my baby and share precious moments while having her follow her schedule, making my life easier. For me, that was a great day.
I learned a lot of things yesterday. I learned the importance of planning your day, week, month, and year. I learned the importance of creating a plan and following it, no matter what. Trust the process. I also learned that although it felt like it was all me who accomplished those things yesterday, it was my wife who created the schedule and put me in a position for success.
In life, there will be moments where we think we did things all on our own, but there were people along the way who helped put us in a good position. The person who does that constantly is God. I learned that it takes teamwork to do anything, especially raising a baby, and that others might have plans and ideas that are different from yours but are beneficial for everyone. I learned that you can find happiness and fulfillment in the simplest things in life.
Enjoy life, enjoy the simple things, make a plan or schedule that can lead you to success in any way, and follow it.
