my brothers and i, watching ships as we wait for the one that will take us to okinawa
without your past experiences you've learned nothing to prepare you for what lies ahead.
don't look back with regret. life can be very painful, but it only opens the door to the real you.
it makes you stronger and wiser as you go.
the desires you have previously chosen have brought you precisely were you are. right now.
just as surely as the desires you focus on today bring about the substance of your tomorrow.
though you won't get it perfect, do it anyway.
though you don't think you have the time, do it anyway.
though it will challenge you and make you uncomfortable, do it anyway.
only you know what must be done. you know what actions will bring the results you desire.
you know what is right and what is wrong.
you can spend a lifetime making excuses, thinking of reasons why not, but where would that get you?
touch your own sense of excellence and do the right thing.
do it anyways in spite of the bring me downs.
take yourself to the next level.
*i have since found out that this was written by my number two son.
dang jord - i can't express in words to you how much i admire your insight.
