A little while back, in honor of the forthcoming music festival honoring my dad, I posted an article inspired by him on the Zen of MLM site. It’s parental parity time: my mom’s birthday is this coming Thursday (she would have been 78), so this seemed the right time to post a piece inspired by her.

This occurred to me morning, when Ana said, “I was just thinking how grateful I am to your mom.” When I asked why, she said, “Because she gave you such unshakable confidence.” It’s true—and can you think of any greater gift one could give to a child?

For that matter, what better gift could one give to anyone than your unshakable belief in them?

That’s what this piece is about.
