It's like, most people can't sustain the mindset that, you know, fortunately, because it can be so destructive, but most people can't sustain that level of discipline to manifest the things that they want in their life. And there's just a, there's a poisonous edge to that kind of discipline. And I've been to the edge of that kind of material world discipline in my mind.

And I can tell you, you can have a whole lot of stuff and be miserable out there. on that edge and I found a much more comfortable and productive space in my life. And you still need that discipline. But it's like when you use that kind of power to achieve things, it's like there's a brutal reckoning.

My father, my mother, and my grandmother, whenever I think about the three of them, I picture a triangle in my mind. And I see like my father was the base as discipline. And my mother didn't care about anything but education. You had to learn, grow, study, travel. My mother was really serious about educating the mind. And my grandmother was love and God.

My grandmother was that grandmother at Resurrection Baptist Church. And she had, you know, we were doing our Easter recitations. And we was at the nativity, you know. So she was that grandmother at the church. And her life was deeply devoted to God and Jesus in the form of loving service. Right, so the form that it took was she was working hard to love everybody.

You know, I remember my grandmother bringing homeless people into our house when we were little and washing them in our bathtub. I thought that was the nastiest thing. But she would be in the bathroom with her hands washing homeless people, you know? And as a child, it was like, no! But as I grew older, I just saw how dedicated and devoted she was to living her life in service.

It took me 50 years to figure, you know, to figure out what the secret of that was, you know, but it was... There was a day of her life that wasn't devoted to loving and serving. And I just watched her. She worked the graveyard shift at the hospital. And she watched us, my brothers and sisters, during the day while my parents were at work.
