Even if it isn&#39;t military, to get up and perform that job. So I wake up, put on my boots (at both jobs) and drive forward. Your body knows it&#39;s own limits. It&#39;s up to you to push the envelope. Greatness isn&#39;t born, it&#39;s achieved. You can be born royalty, and be treated like a pauper if you have no drive. An old African proverb says, &quot;If you fall, be sure to land on your back. If you can look up, you can get up.&quot; I hold that close to the heart. Life has knocked me on my ass several times. Sometimes I had to ask for help, but there is strength in numbers. Friends, battle buddies, people you trust, family are support. Not a weakness. Look up. Get up. One step at a time, every inch gained.

That is what I call self integrity. If I don&#39;t strive my best on everything I do, I would be only cheating myself. But some things are beyond my control but I still strive to change my short comings in life. Just knowing those short comings (issues) alone is my strive to make it better.
