Sunday, July 22, 2018 ― The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day! Good Morning Everyone!
We continue to pray for CPL Dave Hoover today. I've received no new updates.
Today is: "Hardship Teaches Day!" Why Not?
"Unfortunately hardship comes at the worse time in many peoples lives, but with it comes wisdom and lessons learned. Do your best to work through the uncertainty and turmoil and grasp the underlying meaning and grow from the experience as best you can." ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny..." ― C.S. Lewis
"Hard times and good times are sisters that share the same heritage, whoever that marries both overcomes the challenges of life" ― Chukwuemeka E. Onyejinduaka
"After a storm comes a calm." ― Matthew Henry
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." ― Martin Luther King Jr.
"The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." ― Helen Keller
"Life has knocked me down a few times, it has showed me things I never wanted to see. I experienced sadness and failures, but one thing for sure I always get up." ― Unknown Author
"The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future." ― Philip Emeagwali
"There is no success without hardship." ― Sophocles

"To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship." ~Henri Nouwen
To constantly rail at the unfairness of life is to waste one's energy and breath. Sometimes life is a storm, with a series of waves; ride them out, breathe when you can and wait for the storm to pass. Oftentimes when you make it back to the beach, there are treasures to be found but only if you've saved your strength for the hunt.

Lt Col Charlie Brown Thought you wouldn't mind another upvote from a fellow Henri Nouwen fan. Sans chicken curry.

No success without hardship. Truth. Nothing worth having comes easy and the effort you put in before things get hard. Prayers for David again.

You've got that right Marty. There has been plenty of hardship for all of us here on RallyPoint, from tough deployments, to questionable assignments, to the loss of our brothers and sisters in war and in the war against Suicide, and the lis of hardships goes on, but the we've learned and experienced things many can only wonder and think about. And we still move forward with diligence, character, resolve, and our heads held high Maj Marty Hogan An amazing assembly of warriors here on RallyPoint. Thanks for the prayer for CPL Dave Hoover! You and your family enjoy this Sunday, for you're all blessed Marty!
