Always cheerful and I consider myself upbeat.

Been
there-Done that
Driven
By: Mark Wilson
When did
being dedicated, self-motivated and disciplined, become noteworthy or
unusual? Don’t get me wrong, I
appreciate being noticed, but what does this say about our American
culture? Shouldn’t we raise the bar?
We need
our youth to know it’s not ok to merely get by; but to raise their personal
expectations. As we say in the athletic
community, “give 110 percent effort!”
It’s
insulting to me, as a hard working primate, to see other survivor’s give-up.
Lose hope- that should be a crime against nature! I understand limitations, but
man-up people!
Developing
physical health takes a lot of heart while mental resilience requires
character.
While
climbing the stairs at the hospital a Marine buddy inquired why another
survivor we knew, didn’t use them. I
replied that I use the stairs “Because, I love this stuff”, he responded, “You
would have made a good Marine!”
If we hit it hard, the struggle,
can’t get us down!
