I would advise anyone including myself that any moment you understand your life is good
then everything that led up to it was worthwhile.
And the reason I say that is not that I haven’t made mistakes.
I’ve made some glorious mistakes and I’ve suffered in the life for those mistakes.
But I’m sitting here talking to you this morning and my world, I am too concerned with
the problems that envelope us everywhere.
But in my personal world I couldn’t be happier.
I have six kids.
They delight me thoroughly and they are all very close with one another.
Our family get togethers are the best thing going in my life.
And so I figure if I can say that at this moment, feel that at this moment I wouldn’t
change anything that got me here, you know.
All the mistakes, all of the drama, all of the bullshit that went on earlier that was
so much of which I was responsible for.
If the moment you’re at is a great moment and you’re happy for who you are at this
moment then everything that got you here is worthwhile.
Because it’s all gone.
That’s yesterday.
Two of the most important words I think are over and next.
When something is over, it is over and we’re all on to the next.
And the hammock in the middle between those two words is what I think is meant by truly
living in the moment.
You know when I get up from this interview as great as it was it’s over.
There ain’t anything I can do if I wish to fix or change or I’ve done it next.
So I think being invested in next and not the past is best.
