Michael "Mike" is my biological dad. I am very happy that he was EJs inspiration and I just want to thank you for sharing this video with all of your subscribers. Just reading these comments and seeing people say these positive about my father means a lot. He was the best dad anyone could ask for!! I hope this motivates people and actually makes a difference. :)

It's beautiful, the conformity between what mike said and what he'd done, "it's not about what you have, it's about what you do, it's not about how much intelligence you have, it's about how much impact you make.." .. He actually said those lines, and this speech right here was his direct impact, he said sth really simple yet really influential, and so there was his impact. May your soul rest in Peace, Mike.🌻

[@chrislalangui_]

Same he came TODAY and it was an inspirational story

[@thefirstbub3814]

"Young man why are you eating that fish? You man says: "Because I love fish" He says, Oh you love the fish, thats why you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it. Don't tell me you love the fish. You love yourself, and because the fish tastes good to you, therefore you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it. So much of what is love, is fish love. And so, young couple falls in love, young man young woman fall in love, what does that mean? That means that he saw in this woman someone who he felt could provide him with all his physical and emotional needs, and she felt in this man somebody she feels that she can write that was love, but each one was looking out for their own needs. It's not love for the other. The other person becomes a vehicle, for my gratification. Too much of what is called love, is fish love. An external love is not on what i'm going to get but what i'm going to give. We had in ethicist rabbi dessler who said, 'The people make a serious mistake in thinking that you give to those who you love.' And the real answer is, you love those whom you give. His point is, if I give something to you, i'v invested myself to you. And since self love is a given, everybody loves themselves. now that part of me has become in you, there's part of me in you that I love. So.. true love is a love of giving, not a love of receiving."

Today is the day after Christmas since I am on monitor just released from jail. I received gifts and helped a friend who was released with me get back on his feet. I gave him some of my gifts to make it Christmas. Since im on house arrest I could not go anywhere. But I was able to make it happen. Just today I received a call from some friends who play online with us Call of Duty Warzone and they asked us If they could send us gifts. I thought man its true what we put into the universe we get in return. Its not about how much we have its about being humble and being able to give back. They are two kids from Virgina Jupiter and Chris and im happy that they became our good friends. They are both joining the military Marines. Its people like this who make this world a better place. So always remember that we are not alone even though life can be unfair sometimes and trust me trouble will come in many shapes and forms. But never give up because we have a. Merciful God who shows us that good people still exist. And no matter what you go through when no one seems to care the good Lord always will bring good people who understand. I was kinda sad I didnt get to talk to my son and wish him a Merry Xmas, but today with a simple text from a stranger I just met made my day hope everyone has a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year all the way from San Antonio Texas! Stay blessed. -ZeroCool
