Awesome Black Dads wants encourage, educate, empower, and entertain black fathers in a way that inspires us to be the best version of ourselves. Today's episode is a bit of a departure from what you have previously heard. Previously, you have heard insights from other Men about who they are, what they stand for, and why they are the Men and Fathers that they are today. Today I have decided to share a little about what I believe and how I am creating a time capsule of my ideas and beleifs for my sons in the future. I have started writing letters to my sons that are effectively lessons that I have learned during my journey in this life with the hopes that that they will always have a piece of my experiences to fall back on in moments when I am not there to help guide them. This letter is dedicated to purpose and how important it is to find the thing or things that you know you were put on this earth to contribute. I hope you find this letter as inspiring as I did when I started writing because "The Purpose of Life is a Life of Purpose".
