His Influence

Your first major influence can dictate a lot about the trajectory you are going to go down as you grow up. For example, Kobe Bryant’s first major influence was Michael Jordan now look where that brought him. For Andy Griffith, his first major influence was from a religious figure. Explains his music genre choice, right?

The religious figure was Ed Mickey who served as a minister in North Carolina at the Grace Moravian Church. That is a great type of person to have to be your first influence. As a parent, you are not really worried your child’s decision if they are following in the footsteps of a minister.
