Mike Tyson

I just watched an interview with Mike Tyson that was recorded just a few days ago. From the way he talked he seems to be a changed man. I have heard the old saying so many time that a tiger never changes his stripes. While it might be factual that a tiger cannot change his stripes, I do feel that a person can change. I have to admit when I see Mike Tyson I still have his old image in my brain and I felt negativity toward him. But after watching this interview I do feel that he has changed. Sometimes it is upsetting to me when I hear people use the words "Once a cheater, always a cheater". My path has not always been on the straight and narrow. I have done some things in my past that I am not proud of but I am no longer that person. No one's life is set in stone. A person can choose what path they wish to take in life. It is their option to be less that or more than. I spent many years being less than and I spend everyday trying to be more that I was the day before. Not better than...just more than. People can and do change. Everyone has the ability to change their lives. I think its kind of funny that Mike Tyson of all people has been my inspiration for the day. If someone would have told me yesterday that I would view him with reverence I would have laughed. But today I do look at him in a whole new light. I pray that he is truly on the right path because he could be an inspiration to some many. If Mike Tyson and Marsha Ann can change then so can you.
