Hi everybody this is God's ad I almost never answer my Instagram

DMs and many of my other thems and messages and so on only because I received so

many I thank you for all of your love and

support and so on but just earlier today I went for a walk with my son came

back home and was looking through some of the messages.

Again, by the way, even though I don't respond to everybody, I try to answer as often as I can and I certainly try to read all the messages. I had a personal DM from a current

NFL football player. I'm going to read it not because he's an NFL football player but because the message contained within

is one that defines what it means to be successful in life. I won't mention the person's name or any identifying markers. I'm not sure if he

would want me to. But here we go. Hello there, Dr. Sad, my name is so-and-so and I currently play in the NFL. Just wanted to send you a message

letting you know how influential you have been to me throughout my journey in life. I finally

gotten my hands on your book and can't wait to dive into it. I also frequently watch a lot of your

videos and lectures. I grew up on the Indian Reservation in a place and I see so many people use their home circumstances as

as excuses for why they cannot do something. I've grown incredibly tired of so many of my people always wanting to be victims of oppression

for someone like yourself who was dealt an unfortunate hand early in life it is very inspiring awesome to see you conquer your world without pulling

the victim card, which you could easily do.

Maybe one day in the future we can meet in person. It would be delightful to do so.

Thank you for being a beacon of light in so many people's darkness including my

own. Have a wonderful week and I wish you the very best and then the person signs their name.

Well, big e-hug to you.

I am proud of your stance in life.

This is how you undoubtedly surmounted all the obstacles in your own upbringing and your own difficult

upbringing.
