I want 'to be” stronger than I was yesterday. I want 'to be” as good a father to my son as my dad was to me. I want 'to be” the strongest and most romantic husband to my wife. I want 'to be” remembered as someone who loved with his entirety. I want 'to be” the change I wish to see in the world. I want 'to be” sure my family knows they can always count on me. I want 'to be” unafraid to take creative risks. I want 'to be” forever passionate and in love with life. I want 'to be” sure that my wife and son know that they are my everything. I want 'to be” better at trusting that I deserve all the good things that happen in my life.
