You're going to find what your scarcity wants. You're going to find what your comparison wants. That's what you're going to find. And so I'm not trying to go find nothing. I'm trying to have these things find me.
When you're chasing, oftentimes you will find what your scarcity finds, what your insecurities will find, what your worries will find, what your fears will find. And it goes back to now you're gonna settle for less. It's like you're trying to knock down a door and beat down a door that's not meant for you to go in.
And you're spending all your energy and time trying to knock down this door when if you just have patience, you talked about not being lazy. Lazy is procrastination. Patience is working while you're waiting. Patience is trusting God in the process. Patience is peace that I'm going to still do what I got to do and go hard.
But I have patience and peace that when it's time for that door to open, I don't have to knock it and kick it down. It's going to turn the knob. It's going to open at the right time. That's the hard part, Jamie, that a lot of us want things to happen in our time when we want it. But as you know, and I know that God's timing is the perfect timing. And that's always, always true.
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.
The book was supposed to come out January 16. Something in my heart didn't feel right about that date. So I reached out to the publisher and I said, hey, just give me another date. I didn't pick this date, they said March 5th. Immediately I felt a peace in my soul because that week of March was that week I talked about before, where my mom, Maya, all these situations happened.
And I called my dad, I said, dad, can you believe, man, this book is bringing light to this dark week? And I said, but dad is something deeper than that. I said, what is it? I said, I don't know. And in my midnight hour, as I call it, waking up at 3 a.m. because my mom passed, I didn't get a full year of sleep. It hit me. March 5th is when the book comes out.
And March 5th was the last time I seen my mother alive. The last time I held her hands. So it's special. And when I talk about being guided, that's what I mean. And so for the world to get this book, it's more than just a book for me. It's a, It's a representation of who she was and who she is. And I know she touched this book because I know my mother. She always wants me to shout her out.
She wants to be a part of everything. So yeah, it's a special one for me. So I hope the world is able to protect their peace and get a glimpse of what my mother taught me.
For sure.
It was so clear. So, so clear. Mom was on hospice for six months. So I saw what peace didn't look like. In that moment, peace. So as hard as it is sometimes, you know, to move on and go on, and I know you can understand, I can literally live my life in peace because I know she's resting in peace for real.
