No. No. You know why? Because what I didn't realize as a young adult is that when you say it to somebody else, whether you mean to do it or not, you give them the keys to your life. You give them power over you. They got your whole life in their hand. Because you said it. You said it. They didn't do this because they didn't. They got the keys. Now, I'll be honest.

The reason why we don't want to take the keys is because we got to drive. We got to drive. And I told you, today I was like, I got too much to do. I normally drive. I'm like, I got too much to do. And it felt good to be in the car driven. It felt good. Like, I'm on the phone talking to my wife. We having worship, doing our thing, making a couple of business calls.

Like, I don't have the responsibility of the traffic. Paying attention. I got paid attention. He moved over and got, I was like, why is he stopping in the middle of, But it was a fire truck was coming. So he had to move up. I didn't know what was going on because it was the first time in my life that I wasn't really responsible because I normally drive.

107.645 - 129.102 Eric Thomas

And that's why people don't want to drive in their lives. They don't want to be responsible. It's so much easier to say, my life is messed up because you did this and you did that. Once you take the keys down, you got to go anything. But I'm going to tell you this. This is why I like it. While it's more responsibility, it's more freedom. It's more independence. It's more control. Opportunities.

They limit it. But the limitless win. You take the keys. And so I took the keys in my life and said, my, thanks. Dad, thanks for not being there for me. You gave me a dog. You gave me a passion. You gave me resilience. You taught me how to make it when the very thing that's supposed to be there for you isn't there for you. And I tell people,

Some kid asked me the other day, he's like, man, wouldn't you say your son is lucky because you're in his life and his mom is in his life? I said yes and no. I said yes, he's blessed to have his mom and dad. Well, he ain't got that dog. He doesn't have the hunger? He ain't got that dog. Oh, man. My son is a great kid. But he doesn't have the drive. He ain't got the same drive I got.

171.71 - 194.585 Eric Thomas

And that drive came without some stuff that I had. That stuff came from lack. And so I say to anybody, you got to understand, it could go either way. But when you take the, it's like I walk into a school and I ask, how many of y'all, 50 kids? How many of you kids in here? 1,000 kids. How many of your dads, one in your life, was not living in the house? 90% raised their hand. And guess what?
