I know all the mistakes that he made. And, you know, he was one of my models for going to do the work. because I just did not want to make the same mistakes that he made, especially in regards to him and my mom, you know? And like, you know, his infidelity broke up his family.
And I saw the impact that had on, you know, not me to a certain extent, but definitely to my younger brothers and, you know, younger sisters. So it's the same thing, you know, I didn't want that to happen to my family. So it was just like, yo, in order to not be what my father was, had to be better.
Well, since I learned very late what he probably could have taught me early, I just, you know, started doing the work on myself and applying it to my everyday life. And it's been an amazing blessing.
It allowed me to give him so much grace because when I first started going to therapy, I thought that I didn't like my father because of how he did my mom. Really didn't have anything to do with that. It was part of it. But what it really was, like, I was upset because, you know, I felt like he disciplined me for things that he never taught me.
And it was like, damn, this guy, you know, he was very hard on me in a lot of ways. You know what I mean? But it was literally because he was dealing with his own issues. And so once he told me that and I found that out about him, everything changed. made perfect sense. I mean, everything from the infidelity to, you know, how he used to discipline me, everything made perfect sense.
So it just allowed me to give him a whole lot of grace. And I just, I wish he would have shared a lot of those things with me earlier, which is why I'm so big on sharing them with my kids now.
The people-pleasing came from when I was getting molested when I was eight years old. And the reason I know that is because when I was eight years old and I was getting molested, when I wanted to make the young lady stop doing it, she would call me ugly. And she would say I had a big nose. And she really just started to mess with me mentally when I would tell her to stop, right? And so...
I just let her do it because I didn't want to experience that. Like to me, the experience of being called ugly and saying I had a big nose and all of that crazy stuff, that was worse than what she was actually doing to me. And that's a psychological mindfuck too because it's not like it didn't feel good when I was that age, right? So all of that, that's where the people pleasing came in.
I learned that in therapy years ago. Like that's what made me a people pleaser. And the type of people pleaser that you will allow people to run over you and do you dirty, but you don't care because you feel like you're keeping the peace by making them.
you know, making them happy. So, damn, what was the other plan?
Oh, yeah. I mean, probably just trying to impress him all the time. You know, especially when I wasn't in school no more and I was in night school and, you know, he'd pull up to the house and then you'd jump up and act like you was doing something. You'd go outside and act like you was cutting grass or, you know, you were trying to figure life out just because I knew he would be on my ass so much.
But yeah, I think in a lot of ways, he was the person that I wanted to impress the most in my life. And that turned into... I don't know why I'm just connecting these dots now. That turned into... me subconsciously stunting on him.
Because it's like, yo, I don't know if you ever really believed in me because I remember when you would compare me to like, you know, my cousins who played football and, you know, like, don't you want to be like them? You out here always getting in trouble, blah, blah, blah, this and that. And so it's just like, you know, when you...
start to achieve success and you're actually doing things that nobody from your hometown has ever done, you find yourself stunting them. Yeah, pops. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now what? I'm the man now. You know what I mean? Like that's how you, that's at least how I registered it. So I think the reality is all I really wanted to do was impress them.
I'm really just a little boy who always just wanted to impress my dad and wanted my dad to say, yo, I'm proud of you, son, which he has done. You know, my mom set me free so long ago because I remember my mom saying to me, Years, years, years, years, years, years, years ago. She said, you have accomplished more than anybody in this family has ever accomplished.
And she said to me, but just always be happy you're making a living. And that's always been my mind state. I don't get too high on any of this. I don't get too low on any of this. I'm just happy that I'm able to make a living. And, you know, now I'm in a position to help others make a little living too.
First thing I would say is say thank you. Regardless of what condition you're in, what position you're in, what's going on in your life, you're alive. You're breathing. So that means that God, the creator, whatever you want to call that entity has a reason for you to still be here. So say thank you and be grateful. And then from there, just be of service.
And you start with being of service to yourself because you can't help anybody else until you help yourself first. So whatever it is that you're going through, you know, figure out a way. To get through it, figure out a way to find some healing from it. You know, I don't know if it's therapy.
I don't know if it's just simply taking your shoes off and going to do some grounding, some breathing exercises, some meditation, something. Find a way to serve yourself, to put yourself in a position the way you can get on your healing journey. And then just go out there and start, you know, serving others.
Just find something to find somebody to go help, like go volunteer at the local food bank, you know, go volunteer. Help somebody take their groceries to the car. Just find some way of being of service. And I feel like, man, you'll start to see your life transform in ways that you can't even imagine. And you'll start to love yourself more.
