I have been thinking about how we all have come from some place different. You know, where we where born at and who was our father and mother. Does it make any different s now and how it may have effected us. I was talking to real good buddy of mined today who is 74 years old and is a millionaire with his assets---cash property and stuff. I found out for the first time his father never wanted to give him any credit, you did a good job son. He said," he could never please him no matter how good of a job he did". I knew he was for the most part, not real happy most the time, most of his life. Today after he finally open up, I realized he had the same feelings as I did have. I say, I did have, because I now know I can do anything and do a great jobs now. The ones that are born in a life of no money families and the ones that are born in all the money families can have the same type fathers and mothers. We can come from any where in the middle as well and have the same complexes . Not good enough and can not seem to succeed because we cant seem to shake off the raisin from our parents that seem to mold us to what we are when we enter the Adult world.
Where did I come from? I came from A small town in Mississippi and was born to two odd people who where About 26 years apart in age. My father was 50 when I was born and was a unlearned Irish man. His Father father came here from there. Not sure where my mother came from. I really never got to know them, I now know that . What they did was give me to a woman who turn out to be my half sister because we had the same biological father. You see my father had been married before three times and two times my biological mother. I was 16 months old when my sister took me in.
They where poor in education and in social living --just backwards in so many ways. This man had 17 children ---16 birth and one adopted. Now two of them where twins but where still born. So, 14 -2 -1 makes 17 that we know of.
When I was about 9 years old I learn that the person I had been calling my grand paw and the woman who I called grand mother, who I did not see much , was my biological parents. That all my ants and uncles where my sisters and brothers, that my cousins where my nieces and nephews and my mother /father was half sister/bother-in-law.
That all my people where uneducated. That even in many cases made fun of people who had education. My DNA father had birth defects and passed them on to all most all of us. I had 7 half sisters and one half adopted brother and 4 full blooded brothers and 2 full blooded sisters.
Some day I will write a blog about my DNA father and his defects from DNA that he passed on to us.His almost becoming the world feather weight champing of the world, in the USA. With a record of 149 fights --142 wins 96 knock outs.

I have learn from my life no matter where I come from, that if is to be it is up to me. Yes, It really did set me back and took many years to become an over-comer. Just think a man & woman gave me up --and woman & man took me in raised me and as it turned out was the best thing that ever happen to. They raised me as there own and due to losing there only child at birth by myself.
Looking back it was the best, because I would have probably end up dead or in prison with my DNA father causing me to fight him. I know now he would have killed me or me him, he was just mean much of the time and that is why he was a great fighter. Anyways, I came from a place and it was for the reasons of the one who decided it.
I was talking one day to an man from another country about this where did we come from in the earth life. I realized he was mad at me because I was born here in the USA. He did not like me because I was an Irish man as well. Then it hit me he was even mad at me due to these facts. So, I said "sir, as for as I know I did not have a choice where I was born and to whom I was born and what race I was born in, you will need to take it up with one responsible for all that.
That day I was set free of many things because I was mad about it as well. I did not like any of it and did not see the big benefits that he was saying it all gave me over him. All my life, up tile then had been a big pain for me. I am just now ready to live and have a family, go to school to learn, help other with real love and want to. This I know now, I have a great wife of 37 years and good children, G-GGs TOO! I still have my DNA defects, flaws and not always right about everything in life.
I do know this, I know where I am , who I am and what love I really to have for all people. I will not let where I came from have power over me and control over where I end up. I tell new folks this when we meet what I heard a high school friend say one time. If you want judge me on your bad and good past experiences I want judge you on my bad or good past experiences. We can inter face with each other on our experience with each other and let that decide what and who we are to each other.
So where did I come from? It does not matter any more and the sooner we get that the better off we will be.
I have Peace in my life and that makes me successful in my definition. I am successful not due to my things or what is in my mind or what other did to me or I to them, but what is in my spirit. In there I have peace now. It is not because of me that I have it, it is because I was set free that day and I know what is in me now that gives me my peace. Everyone must find it for there self. I hope and pray you who need peace get it.
