One Person Can Change Everything
Do you ever feel discouraged by what you see around you?



Do you sometimes lose hope… wondering if people have lost their way, and not knowing what to do about it?



I want to share something with you that really stayed with me.



And I’m not going to pretend everything is perfect or tell you to just “stay positive.”



That wouldn’t be honest.



I see what’s happening in the world.



I’ve lived it, in my own family.



I’ve had siblings struggle with addiction, incarceration, and deep wounds from hard beginnings.



And then there are others—people who didn’t go through those extremes—yet are quietly struggling in different ways… subtly addicted, disconnected, lost.



So, what’s the answer?



It’s love.



But not the overused, surface-level version of love.



I mean real love—and the best way to understand it is through what it looks like in action.



I was speaking with a therapist this week who said something powerful: “If a person has just one person who truly loves them, they can be okay.”



She told me about a woman who went through a past far worse than most could imagine… and still became a deeply loving person.



Her grandmother was there for her and that’s what saved her.



I’ve seen this too—again and again.

Do you have problems?

Here’s the solution:

Go be a blessing to someone today.

My son forgot his computer this morning.



He called and asked if I could bring it to him.



So, I got in the car and headed to his school.



On the way there, I had a thought I didn’t used to have.



I created a life where I have the space to do this.



There was a time when something like this would’ve irritated me.

I would’ve had something scheduled—something “important”—and this would’ve felt like an interruption.



But today, it didn’t.



Because lately, I’ve been seeing the value of something I used to overlook:



Space.

If you had all the money and time in the world, what would you do that was truly enjoyable and interesting to you?

How would that benefit the greater good?

Healthy Love Feels Strange To Unhealed People

I was watching an interview with a celebrity who had left her marriage.


She talked about dating a “nice guy” afterward but said it didn’t work out because that’s not what she needed.


She said she needed chaos, and that’s why she was attracted to the bad boy type.


I actually appreciated the honesty.


The interviewer then made the comment that women don’t want nice guys.

But I think there’s something deeper going on here and wanted to address it because young people are influenced by these things.


When someone comes out of a marriage or a serious relationship, there’s a lot to process.


There’s grief, disappointment, confusion, shattered hopes, lessons, regrets, loneliness, and the loss of the future we thought we were going to have.


That’s a lot.


It’s almost like an emotional amputation.


Something has been removed from your life and now you have to heal, rehabilitate, and learn how to adjust to who you are now.


Most people don’t do that work.


Not because they’re bad people, but because sitting with pain is hard and they’re usually unaware of what they even need.


So instead, many people distract themselves.


Dating, drinking, traveling, attention, surgeries, clothes, social media, work, partying —


anything to take their mind off what they really feel inside.


And the difficult part is this:

Healthy Love Feels Strange to Unhealed People After heartbreak, divorce, or emotional pain, many people rush into distraction instead of healing. Because unresolved wounds often make chaos feel familiar, healthy love can actually feel uncomfortable or even unattractive. This piece explores how unhealed people may mistake dysfunction for chemist...

He Missed His Chance to be His Son's Hero


He came to see me because he had gotten into trouble, and his parents had heard that I coach and connect well with young people.



Unfortunately, I can’t help everyone.



It was hard to reach him.



He wouldn’t open his heart.



He was charming, yes—but guarded, protected, almost dismissive of life itself.



Still, he shared a story that stayed with me.



His father was very successful by worldly standards.



He was also extremely capable and handy.



One day, when this young man was about six or seven, he and his father were driving when they passed someone broken down on the side of the road.



“Daddy, daddy—help that person!” the little boy said.



His father didn’t slow down. He turned away and replied,



“You can’t help everyone, son. That’s how you end up poor and wasting time.”



The boy didn’t think much of it at the time—

but somewhere inside, he was disappointed.



I tried to unpack that moment with him.



But the boy had become a man who was hardened—someone who had lived a largely meaningless life, marked by taking advantage of others and never committing to a path or a purpose.



Why do I share this?

The Trap of Over Giving in Relationships

When I was younger, I thought no woman would ever leave me.

I mean… why would they?

I’d grocery shop, cook, clean, provide—be the perfect boyfriend, the perfect husband.

Sounds great, right?

Wrong.

It’s great… if you’re the other person.

But that’s not a relationship.

That’s servitude.

And the truth is—no one wants to be in a relationship where one person is the servant.

Not even the one being served.

Because how does someone feel truly loved…

if that “love” is just someone waiting on them hand and foot?

And how does the giver feel loved…when their value comes only
from what they do?

Eventually, something breaks.

The person being over-served gets bored… or worse, starts to take advantage.

And the one over-giving?

They feel unseen, unappreciated, and exhausted.

Here’s what I had to learn the hard way.
