Sean Michael Crane's Unstoppable Mindset
Cherish Every Moment: Family First
Life changes in an instant when you welcome a new child into the world. After bringing my daughter Bella Rae Crane home, a profound realization struck me while holding her and my other children: we literally created these perfect human beings. This miracle puts everything into perspective.
Nothing clarifies your purpose and priorities like witnessing birth. For days, I sat mesmerized by my newborn daughter's perfection, whispering promises of protection and devotion. Those innocent eyes looking up at you become the ultimate motivation to become exceptional. But there's a crucial lesson here—you must master yourself before you can truly excel as a parent or spouse. My journey through addiction taught me that self-mastery precedes family mastery.
The balancing act between ambition and presence defines modern parenthood. While pursuing goals matters, I've learned to prioritize irreplaceable moments with my family. When I was incarcerated, I didn't long for wealth or status—I missed those simple connections we take for granted. Now I'm living with the wisdom of my future elderly self, building success without sacrificing precious family time. Because when we're 80 looking back, relationships and authentic experiences are what truly matter.
Take a moment today to evaluate how you're balancing ambition with presence. Are you creating a life you'll look back on with satisfaction, knowing you did it the right way? Subscribe to the podcast as we explore together how to create lives we truly love and cherish, without compromise.
We have the capacity and the ability to create life Like it just blew my mind Certain times, in those moments where things just hit you and it seems so surreal and so profound and for me it's so special.
Speaker 1:Isn't that the ultimate source of inspiration to become the most exceptional, amazing human being you ever could be? But I know there's gonna be a lot of people that look back on their life one day and wish that they just spent more time with their loved ones and sometimes the simplest life, the simple things, are the best things. Just don't do it in a way where you miss out on the special moments because once they're gone you can never get them back. You don't want to get there. Realize that you can't go back in time. You didn't do it the right way. Now your kids are older, your relationships have changed, or you're older and you didn't do the stuff you wanted, or you left in your health.
Speaker 1:Welcome back to another episode of the Unstoppable Mindset Podcast. I'm your host, sean Crane. We're here at the Makeshift Home Studio. I'm building a home podcast studio in office that I'm going to be recording all my content out of, and I'm feeling blessed man being able to work from home, be close to my wife and my children. I love it, and the main reason I'm doing this is because we just brought a new life into this world. My wife, jessica, and I had a baby girl on March 15th, bella Rae Crane, and we're back home and she's healthy and she's just doing amazing. And my wife's healthy, she's recovering and she's amazing.
Speaker 1:Shout out to anybody out there all you women who have had babies and raised children You're the most special type of people in this world and I think it's just something that's taken for granted. Obviously, women have babies every single day and that's just what we do as human beings. Right. We start off as little babies and kids and then we grow older, we find someone we want to build a life with and we we have children. We start our own families. It's beautiful man, but I was sitting there the other day and we had come back from the hospital and had that just miraculous experience seeing bella being brought into this world. There's truly nothing like it. And I was sitting there in our bed and I think the kids were watching a movie and I was holding bella in one arm, preston was laying on my leg and Scarlett was laying next to me and I was kind of cuddling with her and I just looked at all three of them and I thought, wow, my wife and I, jessica, created these lives, like we created these human beings. That is just so crazy to think about. We have the capacity and the ability to create life Like it just blew my mind.
Speaker 1:You know, certain times in those moments where things just hit you and it seems so surreal and so profound and for me it's so special, there's nothing in this world that truly puts things into perspective, like life or death. If you've had someone close to you and you've lost them and you know that feeling, it really gets you thinking about life and your purpose and how you're spending your time and every little detail in such a profound way. And the same thing when you see a life being brought into this world, like it's so miraculous, it's so special, the amount of emotions you experience, the energy. I just was sitting there for days on end holding and staring at Bella, and I did this with all my children, just completely in awe of them, of how pure and perfect they are. You know I just get emotional thinking about it all the time and I would just sit there and hold Bella and like I would just tell her, like I'm going to protect you and take care of you your whole life, like Daddy's got you. I'm going to do everything in my power to give you the best life imaginable. And that's what fires me up, man, as a leader for my family, as a husband, as a father, as an example for others, it's like to give my family the ultimate life, and what I mean by that is life experiences, time together, the love and connection that they experience here at home, the way that I raised them, the way that I talked to them, the beliefs that my wife and I instill into them, their education, their like, every aspect of their lives. And for me it's the ultimate motivation. Like I talk to guys all the time who say they're tired or they. You know, guys struggle to get up in the morning. They hit fucking snooze. People struggle with their diets or drinking or drugs. You know, trust me, I get it, I was there at one point.
Speaker 1:But, man, how could you ever slack in life knowing that you have those eyeballs and little human beings looking up to you? Like isn't that the ultimate source of inspiration to become the most exceptional, amazing human being you ever could be. You know, for me it is. But I have to remember, like, at a time, if I had children, you know, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, maybe it would have been a different story. At that time I was still battling addiction, I still hadn't figured myself out, you know, I did not have the level of self-mastery and discipline that I have now and it would have been a completely different story. You know, I would have still been struggling on my own end, on my personal level. How could I ever fully be there for them? And that's the key, man, like, if you want to be the best husband, the best father, the best, whatever, you have to be the best you first. It doesn't work the other way around. You don't just focus on building the business or the family and neglect yourself. Like, at some point you're going to be compromised and that's going to jeopardize those important areas of your life.
Speaker 1:And so this message is going to be short, man, I just want to say that number one, like I'm so grateful for my wife Jessica. She's such an amazing woman, watching her bring our children into this world, not just giving birth to them, but then raising them and being there for them as a mother should be like. It's something I am so grateful for and it's something that I always wanted in my wife. Like I always had this hidden fear, man, that I would end up with a woman that one day just became unraveled, like my mom did, and suddenly just lose her shit and become not a good mom, not a good wife. You know it was always this hidden fear and I remember just like thinking about that. Like, damn dude, is that going to happen to me one day? Because I saw it happen to my dad, I saw it happen at home as a kid growing up and you know it haunted me for many years.
Speaker 1:So just being able to have the right woman by my side, that supports me, that loves me, that we've built this life together and that has helped me to become a better man every step of the way, like the level of gratitude that I have is immeasurable. And then just knowing that together we're going to be able to raise our children the right way and give them like the best life, like they have the best life, man, every day, every weekend, we're doing fun things together and we're always doing things that enhance the quality of their life and we're always teaching them. We're always learning together and we're always teaching them. We're always learning together and we're always spending time, and I think it's the most beautiful way to experience life. You know a lot of people want money and they want stuff and they want all these things and that's cool. You know. Go out and acquire it if that's what you want.
Speaker 1:But I know there's going to be a lot of people that look back on their life one day and wish that they just spent more time with their loved ones and sometimes the Sometimes the simplest life, the simple things are the best things you know, like just spending time together, talking, holding hands, like going to the park and playing, cuddling and watching a movie at night, like dude. Honestly, when I was incarcerated, I didn't think about wanting money or a Lambo. You know, I had these big, illustrious visions that came to me and massive goals that are on my heart that I'm implementing now in my life, goals that are on my heart that I'm implementing now in my life. But oftentimes I thought about and longed for the little things that we oftentimes overlook, and I know there's probably a lot of parents out there with children who are now older who wish that they slowed down a little bit when their kids were younger. They wish that they attended more school, you know after school activities, or just did the little things with them and didn't overlook them. And it's hard for a lot of parents because they're busy working, they're stressed out, they're overwhelmed.
Speaker 1:So my message, I guess, is for any of you who are going to have children or do currently like slow down, like life, life will take care of itself. Like I know, you're going to do the right thing to take care of your family, you're going to work, you're going to make money. Just don't do it in a way where you miss out on the special moments, cause once they're gone, you can never get them back. And that's one of the main things I'm focused on right now is like you always hear older people tell you like hey, it goes by quick, soak it up Right. And they always put things in perspective. They're like that's what matters most, those relationships, that time with your loved ones, like that's what elderly people always say you know. And or they tell you go after your goals and be true to yourself and that's all important, right.
Speaker 1:So I'm trying to put my mind in a place where I'm thinking like I would when I'm 90, you know, or 80 or 60. Like I'm trying to put myself in that place now and obviously I'm going to go after my goals. I'm going to crush it. You're going to see me achieve so much in my life, but I'm always going to make time for those little precious moments with my loved ones. Every day I'm going to look back in life and go, fuck, yeah, I did it the right way. I built my empire, but I didn't neglect the time with my family. I didn't neglect those relationships. I poured into them every single day and that's the most important thing to me, man, is that I don't overlook that stuff.
Speaker 1:So for those of you right now who maybe you're battling to be present, you're battling to put all the pieces together it's possible. You have to recognize that and you've got to put yourself in that place, like I do. In the future you don't want to get there and realize that you can't go back in time and that you didn't do it the right way. And now your kids are older, your relationships have changed, or you're older and you didn't do the stuff you wanted, or you neglected your health, like you got to think about this stuff often and make sure you're doing the right stuff today. So, dude, I love you guys. I want you to live the ultimate life. I want all of you to create lives you love and freaking cherish. I'm going to show you how it's done. I'm going to lead by example every step of the way. Make sure you share this message, resonate with and do me a favor, subscribe and share the podcast as well. Thank you.
