And that's where you don't want to be at.
And then you're kind of like back to a square one position of like, okay, having to reestablish yourself and you got to be right with yourself first. So you nailed it right on the head, man. It's like, you can't really do, live your life for other people I always say that's a business you'll never be successful at is the business of trying to please everyone.
And then when you do please everyone, it's like, are you pleasing yourself?
and you know what's you know what's special about that man is that um i think that we choose our parents before you know i think as spirits we choose our parents it's just what i believe right it's just a concept that i believe and some people be like well that's i was in a family where it wasn't easy this and i would have never chosen that but you don't understand that you know
To be one of the billion of sperm that make it into the egg and conceptualize, you really fought to be in this world, right? And I truly believe that God doesn't give you what you want. God gives you what you need, first and foremost. And you don't know how the development, there are some people who need a nurturing family that's perfect, right?
And then there are some people who actually learn maybe even more and become more of a positive force for the world to change it by learning, of what not to do from their parents directly all the time, or not all the time, but like in certain situations, you know?
So I just think that, you know, you being the mediator, you were on a course, you were learning at such a young age of things to apply or what not to apply to your marriage. And the fact that you were that, because we talked about it off camera, the fact that you were a mediator, the fact that you were that for your family at such a young age, it's just incredible.
Because look at the path that it's led you to. Man, you're impacting everybody, man. You're impacting like the world, you know, and me and everybody.
Well, when you have a kid and you see them and they look like you and they look like their mom, you see that they smile like you or smile like her. You know, you see all these things and you realize, OK, and then they kind of look like my brother and they kind of look like her granddad and her, you know, all these different family members. Right. And you're like, this is really crazy.
And he'll do something that is like reminiscent of what you used to do. Right. So then I realized that, OK. The DNA is like a computer. It's information that gets passed on, on and on and on, right? So you're really the culmination of a whole lineage, right? And in you.
So one of the things that I learned from him, because there are times in my life where I'm like, man, I wish I could talk to my grandma. You know, my grandma was a female black captain in World War II, man. She was crazy. She was incredible. And like, or my granddad, they met in World War II, right?
Or like, I wish I could like, I'd be like, man, I wish I could like speak to them or like get advice from them now, you know? I only known them as a little kid. And then I realized that the information is already in me. All I have to do is just go deeper within and really connect with that. And that's something that I learned from my son being born. Somehow that clicked is like,
He is the culmination of our lineage. All the DNA from my side, from his mom's side, and so on and so forth. And he's got something special going on. So that's one thing I learned. And another thing I learned is to go back to the simplistic beauties of life. When we're on walks out in nature, he's so fascinated with the flowers and the birds and just like, oh, this or that or bug, bee. He's like,
And it just, it gave me a whole new excitement for that. And I really appreciate him for teaching me. I feel like he's teaching me as much as we teach him. I feel like he's teaching all of us a lot as well. And he's also teaching all of us that like, hey, we can be happy right now. He's like, even if he's like distraught or something, he'll go do something and be happy right there. He chooses it.
And I love that.
Yeah.
It is.
Yeah.
It is in all of us. It's like time traveling. People always try and figure out how to preserve themselves. You know, there's the expression, oh, I'm living through my kids or I'm living. That's real. I realize how much power these simple expressions have. Tell me more. I like this. Like communication can save a nation or like, you know, but like, yeah, I really feel like
We always try and think like, oh, there's not enough time. There's not enough time. There's a real, real, real truth to I'm living through my kids or whoever, whoever you choose to. I don't even think it has to be your kids. I think that your blood, your lineage, it's like you really are, you really do time travel.
