I realized that while I would never be my mother nor have her life the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display.
Few men during their lifetime comes anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
It is a sign of contraction of the mind when it is content or of weariness. A spirited mind never stops within itself it is always aspiring and going beyond its strength.
What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.
In all my perplexities and distresses the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.
I was never into sports and my passion was the arts as long as I could remember.
I didn't grow up a theatre kid going to theatre camps. I played sports and that was my main direction. But luckily I never had to choose between sports and theatre.
I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports or plays or school performances so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.
My dad is the reason I actually started watching wrestling. My dad was never big into sports we were all big into sports as kids and he'd go to our Little League games or whatever and not really know what was going on because he didn't know about sports but he knew about wrestling.
I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s after my music career got going.
