Ever felt like giving up, throwing a towel? How did you overcome?

I'm there now. Every morning I just look at this and drive on.

PO1 (Join to see) et als, I learned (very late in life, unfortunately), to quit letting other things define you. The military won't keep you forever, so if you let it define you, the transition can be overwhelming. Relationships can't define you. If your partner dies, divorce, married in name only, you will feel like a failure or remain miserable. If you let your children define you, they will grow up and move on with their life. The empty nest will eat you alive. NEVER let success define you. Situations and circumstances change in the blink of an eye. Being a millionaire won't help if you have to step on people to get t the top. As long as God welcomes me home when my time is done nothing else matters. That is what will get ME to the finish line. I wish nothing but happiness and love for all of you, but life can be nightmarish. There is misery, death, and evil all around us. There are those out there that take great pleasure is watching you suffer and curse your success. Keep your focus. Take responsibility for YOUR actions. Let God judge those who do you harm and injustice.

Praying. Seriously.
