When I became a first time father 4 years back, I have felt similar experience that is difficult to put in words. Rush of motivation and adrenaline, to do something big in life for my little one. But one caveat is, this energy should not confused to be directed at selfish needs( read selfish ambition). I slipped breifly, but came out of it quickly. Like LLMs, Little ones too operate on "Attention is all you need" + lots of play/care (PS: Love is foundation to these). We can never explain why these attention/play/care work together to form patterns in them. And even science proves it accurately that being more for your children when they are young has more benefiting impact over when they are in their teens. So design the life differently, based on our unique circumstances, without falling into blinded traps - would be something I keep weary of.
