7 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
What is the story of the lesson your natural father taught you versus your adopted father who you took on the Robin's name taught you?
I think what I've learned today is I judged my natural father and didn't want to be him.
I wanted to be editing but him because I wanted my mother's love.
I was closer to my mother because my father was, my mom was alcohol too, but she was more there.
He was more of a quiet by himself kind of guy.
And I realized that as much as I love my mom, her interpretations,
I allowed to become mine and I won't let that ever happen again in my life.
Interesting.
Because it affected, and I've actually, you know, sounds corny,
but I've actually had prayers and so forth to my natural father saying,
you know, I'm sorry, I love you, please forgive me for the judgment I had.
At the same time, I'm proud that Jim Robbins, I think he and I, our natures were more aligned.
And so he fanned the flames of my true nature and my grit and my capacity to push to anything which has been a part of my entire life was expanded by that.
And then it got tested because he got kicked out by my mom.
My mom chased me out with a knife.
I knew she wasn't going to kill me, but I wasn't going back in that house.
And I was working as a janitor in San Marino,
California, where some of the fires were, Pasadena area.
And I realized if I, I could be paid not by the hour, but by the result.
