Daily Deliberation: 18 April 2020
We as military members often fail to tell others how well they are doing and how important they are to the team. The slightest notion that we care about others goes such a long way. I have told so many when they make a mistake and so few how important they are to the overall…

Daily Deliberation: 17 April 2020
It is my goal that each of you take what you read here and find a way to apply it to your life; not try to mirror what I do. I love these daily deliberations, because they allow me to read interesting quotes or passages and then reflect on what they mean to me. I…

Daily Deliberation: 13 April 2020

Daily Deliberation: 11 April 2020
So many times in my life I sat around waiting to find the motivation to act. Most of the time, it never showed up for me. It was up to me to take the action to get moving. Once I did, my motivation appeared. Stop worrying about how you are going to accomplish everything before…
