Qualities

Strongest and weakest qualities as a husband and a father?

“My strongest quality as a father is that I know what I bring – I bring them acknowledgement. I tell them how wonderful they are until they believe it. I bring them inheritance and not as money but what I’ve built as a dad. Everything you learn they can keep that and give them a legacy and a story that they can continue to build on.”

“My worst quality is that sometimes I get so busy in what I’m doing, I marginalize sometimes. Sometimes people have to remind me on how to speak to them but it’s a work in progress. I learned that I can’t control and learn at the same time. You have to let go and not let others have control.”

Material Items

Throughout your book you talk about your obsession with having to keep up an image and have material things. What have you now realized about being so materialistic?

“I realized that all of it was about how I felt about myself. I felt like I could increase my worth by having things. But now that I can actually afford these things, I’ve made it so I don’t allow everything to consume my life. People are driving and living places that they can’t afford because they feel like they have to keep up an image. Once I got that my worth can’t be diminished by anything, I realized I was out of the race and the quest to prove worth. I get the most out of life by paying my daughter’s tuition, buying my wife a car and give blessings to others.”
