Surrender

Yesterday I had the real pleasure of a face to face interview for next week’s Mojo Radio Show with Marco Mendoza and John Corabi from the rock band The Dead Daisies. These guys have played with the best…. Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy and the list goes on.

There was a moment in the interview that stopped us in our tracks. I had asked Marco about his sobriety and the moment he made the decision to change his whole life. It was his dark circumstances that caused him to finally surrender. Surrender to the good the bad and the really ugly of his life and to who he really is as a man. Just accept it all for what it is.
As a result, he became a better writer, performer, dad and husband.

​In the book, The 5 Regrets of the Dying, it says the number one regret of those who are terminally ill is that they were not true to themselves and did not live the life they wanted, instead living their lives to meet the expectations of others. To actually surrender to ourselves is extremely powerful. The full interview is out this Monday as we start Rocktober.
