An open letter to my son

Dear son,

These are lessons I wish I would have grasped early on.

Respect should always be given. Respect others even when they don't respect themselves.

Show honor wherever you go. There will be plenty of people who don't deserve it, but you should go out of your way to show it.

Seek to serve others. In a culture focused on self we need men who will serve people without any expectation of recieving something in return.

Be love! Unconditional love is something most men forget to show. Show the world what it means to love with everything you have. Love is not a weakness; it's a strength.

Make it your daily mission to live your life doing these things. They will open doors no man can open. It's up to you to leave this world better than you found it.

Sincerily,

Your father.
