Why your family disrespects you 👉🏾

My Uncle passed round this time last year.

I laid him to rest and took care of my Dad best I could.

He was grateful, and I’m glad I could give him peace he wasn’t expecting.

What I can’t stop thinking another thing that happened the day of the wake.

My mentor nudged me to reach out to my friends and invite them.

To most people that’s obvious, but at the time, I took for granted that guys would want to be there with me.

I heed the words of men wiser than me.

Sure enough men came from near and far.

One man risked having a divorce because his wife didn’t want him out in Lockdown world catching viruses. What’s even funnier is that his only tie to me then was that I taught him to play chess. But it’s a skill that’s earned him a lot of money, great relationships, and made him a better family man.

(Yeah the way I teach chess is a powerful experience for those lucky enough to get my time.)

So there I was with several brothers around me, facing my family.

A sign that calmed the others.

More importantly, it made a statement.

Statement said: Knox is the next in line and he is strong. He has a formidable team behind him. The next generation will be OK in his hands. We are all going to be OK.

This is only possible when you take charge of situations. When you control your emotions. When you know what role you want to play both in your life and in other’s. When you have proper gratitude.

As you step into the weekend, ask yourself, When it’s time to crown you Patriarch of your family will the family welcome you with open arms or challenge you every step of the way?

I lived the answer and know for sure.
