How becoming a dad shifted my spiritual journey

Salam everyone! My wife and I just welcomed our first little one-a healthy baby boy, Alhamdulillah. I’m beyond grateful to Allah (SWT) for this blessing. I wanted to ask the brothers here: how did having your first child change you as a person and spiritually? I feel a strong urge to give my absolute best for my son and his future, and I’m making dua to stay steadfast. May Allah make everything easy for all of us. Share your stories, if you can!
