If God would have blessed me with rehab time, when I wanted it, I would have fumbled it. I guarantee you. I would have messed it up. I wasn't ready. So he was building me, right? He was molding me. He was shaping me. He was preparing me. I said, okay, you're ready now. Here you go. And so we got to learn how to have patience in the journey and trust the process. And the process sucks at times.

The process is rough. The process isn't beautiful. Like we live in an entrepreneur era on social media where they show you all the cool things, right? The ice bath, jump in the ice bath and do all the things, right? Like cool. But they don't show you the other side of it. Like just because you start something, don't mean you're going to be successful. Probably less than 1% of people actually are.

And the people who actually become successful are the people who actually had steadfast and continue to persevere over the first year, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth year. But we don't see that talked enough about.

And so that's why I love our conversation because you're seeing two individuals that are telling you, if you're just having patience, having peace in the journey, it will find you over time. But if you want the celebrity, if you want the money now, you want all these things now, you're going to run into a race that you ain't meant to run and you will burn out.

That's why statistically, if you look at all the things that people start and don't finish, 8% of people finish what they start. 92% of people don't. And it's because I guarantee that 92% was being guided by the wrong things.

I'm almost at a loss for words because it's so hard to put it into words. What my dad has done for me, showing me how to be a man, came to every single one of my games. Didn't miss a game. Worked at UPS for now a long time, more than I've been alive. But he always made time to be there. I never had to wonder where he is, where he was. He was always there.

He showed us how to be a man, continues to show us how to be a man. My mother was and still is our rock. And I dedicated this book to her. because she always taught me what peace is and always seen her operating peace. Even though at times she would have chaos and things going around and things going on in her life, she would always be a woman of peace.

She would be a woman of calm and even the most chaotic situation, especially in the storms. She was the shelter in our storm. She was the one that was... Everything's going to be all right, even when it didn't look all right. And so what's ironic, Jamie, with this book, I told you I changed the date. And it was supposed to come out in January.

I wasn't going to share this, but I'm going to share it. One of my promises that I told my mother, I would write this book, Protect Your Peace. And what I saw in her, and I gotta share this, my mother literally died in peace because she lived in priority. My mother was able to rest in peace because she lived in priority. She prioritized the things that mattered.

So I know when it was her time to go, she was okay because she did everything she was supposed to do. She was the matriarch that took care of everything. So I literally saw her at peace when she took her final breaths. And as hard as it was to see her get wheeled out that house, I said, thank you God for healing her. Because sometimes we don't get a physical healing, we get a spiritual one.
