The Power of Positivity & Forgiveness

9/4/2018

Veteran Pro Wrestling Legend Knuckles Nelson recently made an incredible journey all the way from New England on his bike to attend Boogie's Birthday Bash at BWC. More incredible than the trek itself was the positive influence the meeting w/Jimmy Valiant had on Knux's life. Knux was kind enough to write to Boogie & Angel to share his experience & they were so moved by Knux's words they asked me to share them here w/you, the Boogieland Family. Check out Knuckles Nelson's inspiring words:

"Hi Jimmy and Angel Wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the 50th DVD. The book is incredible. You have a way of telling a story and taking the person there. The same holds true in person. So when I was on my visit to Boogieland I asked you a question about knowing what the next right thing to do in life. How to know I'm making the right decision. You looked at me and put your hand on my neck and said to forgive everyone for everything they ever did. You said there was not one person on earth you have a grudge with. You told me do this and everything else will fall into place. I'm happy to report I'm doing it. I'm trying to follow your advice. I made amends to my ex wife today and it felt amazing. We are moving on with our lives but I did what you recommended and I'm writing to thank you for such good advice. You speak to so many folks every week. I'm grateful to you for the time you spent with me at your Birthday party. I may be a veteran wrestler named Knuckles Nelson but I'm also a kid from Rhode Island who is now 54 and can say the best life advice I ever received came out of the mouth of Jimmy Valiant. That is pretty cool and I will continue to not hold grudges or have heat with anyone thanks to you. My ex wife that was not easy brother but I did it.

The weeks leading up to my trip to meet with you I kept telling my girl Betsy that I had this strange feeling I wasn't coming back. She told me I was scaring her and to please stop saying that. I apologized because I was not trying to scare her it was just a gut feeling. The truth is I didn't come back to Rhode Island. A new version of me came back. A new purpose. A new direction. I came back righteously reborn. I have been sober for 14 years. I have read every self help book out there. I practice yoga. I have heard about forgiveness many times in the past. I needed to drive to you and hear it come out of your mouth. I drove through New England New York and half of New Jersey in steady rain. I almost turned back. 4 states in the rain on a bike. I had to keep going. I had to ask you how to do the next right thing in life. You told me to forgive. Today I ran into my brother. We have not spoken in years. I have a new mantra it's called WWBD. What Would Boogie Do. I walked right up to him extended my hand and made a joke to break the ice. He looked pissed off at first and then smiled. Years of not speaking ending in that moment because That's What Boogie Would Do. I'm a better person for knowing you Jim Fanning.

 I will be back to see you again in the future. Best Regards KNUX"

Thanks so much for sharing that Knux! It's an honor to have have you in the BWC family! Hope to see you again soon in Boogieland!
