Becoming a father changes you in ways you never expected, but it'll make sure that you're always on top of your game and ready to be the best man that you can be. It's going to take a lot of effort on your part, though. You don't want to make the same mistakes that you've made in the past. You don't want to be an absent father or leave your kids feeling neglected. Instead, try being there for them as much as possible. Try teaching them everything they need to know about life and making sure that they have good morals and values. Your kids are going to grow up one day and will look back at this time with fondness if you were a good father figure for them.

Fatherhood changes you in ways you never expect.

Fatherhood is a journey, and it's different for everyone. There are no rules or guidelines for becoming a father. It's not like being trained to be an astronaut or doctor, where there's a set of instructions you follow step-by-step. While some may see this as a disadvantage, I think it's actually one of the best parts about fatherhood: no two families are the same, so each experience will be different from one another (just like people). But I would argue that all experiences have commonalities—that there are particular aspects about becoming a father that remain constant and universal across all dads—and these things make up what we call "the process" of becoming a dad.

This is not meant to scare you off from having kids if that's something you want; rather, it should show you how much there is left to discover about yourself and your family after parenthood begins. All fathers go through similar changes during this transition period called "fatherhood."

Prioritizing fatherhood will make you a better person.

You may be surprised to learn that prioritizing fatherhood will make you a better person. But it's true!

Becoming a dad means learning to put your kids first in every situation, whether that means making sacrifices or even changing careers if necessary. You'll also find yourself being more patient and listening more intently than ever before, because these are the qualities required for being a good role model and raising amazing kids.

You really have to work on yourself as a father so that you can be there for your kids.

As a father, you have to be able to set boundaries. You need to put your kids first and make sure that they're happy and healthy. If your child is hungry and wants food, you need to feed them—no matter what time of day it is. And if they're sad or angry with someone else, then they need an outlet for those feelings so that they don't take it out on their peers or themselves (like through self-harm). A good father will care enough about their children's well-being that they'll do whatever needs doing in order to keep them safe and happy. He'll never let his own selfishness get in the way of being there for his kids when they need him most—even if that means sacrificing himself instead!

You can't control much of what happens in your kids' lives, but you can set a good example.

A lot of the changes in your life will be out of your control. You can't tell how much money you'll make, or how many promotions you'll get. You don't know what kind of person your kids will grow up to be, or if they'll marry someone who makes them happy (and vice versa). But no matter what happens, there are some things that are within your power.

You can teach your children good values and morals by example. You can show them how to treat people well and how to be a good spouse when they get married one day—even if they decide not to follow in their father's footsteps by marrying someone who shares his faith!

Of course, these lessons won't come easily; it's not easy being an example for anyone else when you don't always feel like one yourself! But it's worth trying anyway: If nothing else, then at least because we all deserve better than our parents gave us as children ourselves—and because there may just be one kid out there who needs just such an example from his father today and every day till doomsday...

You should make sure that fatherhood is a priority in your life.

You’ve got a new job now, and it’s 24/7. At least that is what most people believe when they think about being a father. They think of the many responsibilities that come along with this position, but also the rewarding aspects of being there for your kids and watching them grow up.

While it is true that you are going to have some incredible days as a dad, there will also be those moments where you want nothing more than to be left alone or do whatever it is you want to do without interruption from anyone—including your children. The challenge comes in finding balance between these two polar opposites: being available for your child whenever they need you and not being so available that they take advantage of their situation (or yours).

So how do we find this balance? How can we make sure that fatherhood is a priority in our lives while still maintaining some sanity? There are three things I think every father should keep in mind:

Conclusion

As a father, it’s important to meet new challenges with a positive attitude and an open mind. You may not know everything about being a dad when you first start out, but you will learn as you go. Every day is an opportunity to become the best version of yourself for your children. If your kids see that being a father is important to you—and that you invest time, energy, and effort into making the most of this role—it will encourage them to do the same for their own future families down the line.
