Perseverance
The human body is a fantastic machine, unlike any other life form. It’s the mind that will quit….
There was a time when I was very disappointed to be serving in the U.S. Army. I intended to go to ETS, go back to MO, and change the course of my life. One of my former leaders heard that I planned to leave the Army and called me to ask why I’d made that decision. I told him my reasons, and having already gone to a Special Missions Unit a few years prior himself, he invited me to follow that path as well. I told him I still intended to execute my plan and head home. He replied, “Don’t sit on your couch at age 60, wondering if you could have done it. Don’t discount your abilities. Let them tell you that you are not good enough. Then fix yourself and do it again till you succeed.
I think of this moment often and let its message sink in. Don’t quit- keep moving forward. Keep building and creating. Keep going. I can’t think of where I would be had that moment not happened. It changed my life forever. Use this as the drive you need to keep succeeding. Similarly, First Breach won’t quit in its goals of excellence and elite customer satisfaction.
