Day 26--Part 2

Great experience last night. Not as powerful as the honesty session I had with Kendra when we were visiting during Advanced Leadership Class for Klemmer. I think at that time I had more going on and hadn’t yet verbalized the need to take personal responsibility for my actions. Last night I was able to get clear with Kendra regarding my lack of communication in the relationship and also clarify my intention to become the man I want to be…inspiring, bold, compassionate, and vulnerable. With our children I was able to ask for forgiveness in how I discipline them. Often times I don’t use my words as I should and then I act impulsively to get them to comply to my demands. This doesn’t foster the kind of home environment that we desire. This concept of personal responsibility to a very powerful one and I’m committed to implementing it on a big level in our household. As with many concepts, taking it from idea to implementation needs to start with me.

  1. Chad, is there more? From the first part of Day 26, I had chills and couldn't click on this one fast enough. Was there "expectation" on how this Day would go? I don't know why, but this post just seems to have a different energy than the part 1 post.

  2. I agree with Sue. I felt a little disappointed with this post. Almost like you decided to go behind a wall and hold back some of yourself. Was that just from us, or were you holding back a little when experiencing the entire dare? I would totally understand though, this one sounds very tough. Having to be that honest and open about your own faults and admitting your weaknesses has to be extremely hard.
