Oma with our grandbaby Mateo

I just had an interesting conversation with a young man name Abdul who works at a convenient store where I was purchasing a beverage.

(I need to start by saying I had my consult with my guru Kevin Wilson at the early part of last week. I had increased in weight and body fat since my last visit in August. Not alarmingly so. Yet it alarmed me. Testosterone wasn’t where we prefer either. It’s always good to place yourself in check. Kevin always knows how to get me back on track. 5 days of super strict eating, training and my BioTE pellets by Mandy Cotten and already things are starting to change or so I now assume.)

As I’m paying Abdul, age 20ish says DUDE! Your jacked for an older DUDE! I said thank you, I guess. He’s says No DUDE! I mean it. I bet you can punch 3 people and knock them all out. I said I’m not planning on punching anyone now or ever but thanks. He says but if you wanted to you sure would put a hurt on them. I said the best part of being an older man is the pure sincere desire of never wanting and hopefully never having to punch anyone ever again but thank you, I guess...

I have to admit that I was not feeling good about myself earlier in the week. What a difference 5 days of clean eating can make along with hormonal optimization and a young kid dishing out a few compliments. Moral of the story is it takes very little to turn your narrative completely around. The 3 P’s Passion, Persistence and Perseverance... 😊🙏🏻💪🏼

A few months ago Brenda Stone and I took an Uber to the airport. The drivers name was Lekendrick. He moved to Dallas from Atlanta. He had a very kind mannerism about him. As we engaged in conversation we learned his brother recently died in a freak work related accident. He shared how it’s obviously taken it’s toll on his mom. As to how he ended up in Dallas, it’s where God has guided him to come to pursue his ultimate dream of teaching kids, he has a degree is in education, yet jobs appear hard to come by.

As he dropped us off at our gate I suggested we exchange contact information. As we did we also exchanged a warm hug as we wished him well in his pursuit of happiness. I then called my compadre Rene Martinez who’s worked for and with the DISD for decades and I passed on Lekendrick’s information. As it turned out his resume was rather strong.

Fast forward to yesterday. Lekendrick calls me. I said Hi, how are things going? Well as it turns out Rene helped him get a full time job at Skyline High School. He was overwhelmed with pure joy and gratitude. He literally had tears in his voice as he kept saying: God is good Larry North, God is good! He called to thank me up and down. The only thing I asked in return was to someday to be able to speak to his students on the importance of helping others and for him to join me on my radio show to share his success and the importance of being a connector to those you believe in.

God works in miraculous ways...

A special thank you to Rene Martnez my amazing son in law Matt Martinez’s father for helping Lekendrick land his dream job. Rene, it wouldn’t of happened without your help.

I believe this is worth sharing if for just one reason to never underestimate our abilities to influence others in a positive way. Helping one person can influence the lives of many others. And yes God is good.
