[su_quote][su_highlight]Reach out to somebody and give them a chance to help you on your journey.[/su_highlight][/su_quote]

[su_quote][su_highlight]Unfortunately parents, love and concern does not qualify you to play every position on the field.  As a guy that likes to counsel my friends, there was a  point I was not qualified to counsel Brock.  My love and concern dd not give me the paper, the qualification, the other angles.  Pass the ball to somebody else.[/su_highlight][/su_quote]

[su_quote][su_highlight]Ask for help. It’s not that big a deal.[/su_highlight][/su_quote]
