Conquer Your Mountain

 

We all have our mountains, overcoming that obstacle. Back in the day I literally conquered a mountain, which was Mount Fuji, it is an active stratovolcano located on the Japanese island of Honshu, with a summit elevation of 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft 3 in). It is the tallest mountain in Japan, the second-highest volcano located on an island in Asia, and the seventh-highest peak on an island on Earth. I was stationed out there in Japan, me and my rag-tag team had the opportunity to climb Mount Fuji, I felt positive I could climb that mountain, but as we climbed we noticed that some others didn't make it halfway and gave up, when I would follow up with these same people in modern times, they also gave up on life, it is not just a mountain, it is about conquering the trials and tribulations of life. It took me and my rag-tag team of misfits 7 hours to climb that mountain, it felt good, we finished what we started, we believed in ourselves and each other, and this attitude of perseverance laid down the principles that we hold true today. Conquering your mountain is attainable if you have that warrior mindset, and are willing to give your all, everything it takes, the same motivation you have as wanting to breathe. When there is an obstacle, most people, accept it and stop all progress, they will simply give up, and give up on themselves and everyone who believed in them, if they would just have held on just a little bit longer..they would have been on that cusp of greatness. If you don't try, you won't be a has been, you will be a never was. Mountains are there to stop other people who don't have the courage or the willingness to improvise around them. I always tell myself, that there is always a way, if not, I do extreme tactical problem-solving, if I can't climb that mountain, I shall move it. It is your belief system that dictates what you can or can not do, reframe your setbacks as learning experiences, and put them in your lessons learned package. Conquering your mountain, going after your goals, and finding success, means to implement, adapt, and overcome. Implement an action, adapt to the result, and keep going until you have conquered that mountain.

Finding Your Tribe

  As combat veterans, we've traversed the treacherous landscapes of war and returned home, forever changed by our experiences. The transition from the battlefield to civilian life is often fraught with challenges, leaving many of us feeling adrift in a world that seems alien and indifferent to our struggles. In times like these, finding our tribe – a community of fellow veterans who understand our journey – becomes not just important, but essential for our well-being. In this podcast, we'll explore why having a tribe is crucial for combat veterans, how to find and nurture that tribe, and the profound impact it can have on our lives. Why a Tribe Matters: The first question we need to address is: why is a tribe so vital for combat veterans? To answer this, we must delve into the unique challenges we face upon returning home.

Morning Meditation

  Morning meditation is not just for hippies. Like me, if you spent a large portion of your life serving in the military, the only calmness that you may have experienced is the calm... before the storm. A meditation morning routine is   a great way to clear your mind to enhance your ability to remain focused throughout the day .  Because regular practice allows you to develop your sense of awareness, it can help you refrain from distractions. You can be more decisive as well when you minimize a wandering mind. Goals of Meditation-  The two goals of meditation are :  Focus your attention Support a heightened state of awareness Mindfulness meditation is different from concentrative meditation is all about tuning out all the noise and distractions around you and focusing on one specific thing, like soothing music or your breathing. Mindfulness meditation is about being aware of and being in that present moment, so it is not so much about tuning out, it's more about...

Controlled Obsession

  When you have a controlled obsession, you have a clear vision of what goals you have and how to complete each goal, which will lead you to the end goal of completing your mission. When you are obsessed with your goal, you have entered..."Beast Mode" and will not stop until you have achieved your goals. Consistent focus on a certain goal creates problem-solving and better ways to do things, if you give 100 percent, the same as would the want and need to Breathe. It is time to understand that if you want to get something out of your life, you have to work for it. I am talking to the one that wants to go beyond thier limits, the one thats willing to work a bit harder than the next man or the next woman, I am talking to the one that wants to take it to the next level, you cant be concerned on what cant be done, be focussed on what can be done.It takes grit, passion and determination to get to that next level of where you want to be, but you have to understand the difference bet...
