I’ve been blessed to be the father of three sons who have all grown up to be good men. Based on my childhood alone, this shouldn’t have been possible and, to be completely honest, I shouldn’t be here today. That being said, the challenges I faced as a child are minor compared to those that our young people face today. Here are three values that carried me and will carry a young person today.
Believe in God. You might call it karma; some will call their belief by a different name. What’s important is that you must believe there’s something more than us. God, or as I sometimes say, “the head coach,” has carried me many times. So many times that no matter how much I do for others, I can never match what has been done for me.
