I soared with the sparrows for a long time, then I wised up, went to a higher clime(the military), and hung out with eagles that chased the sparrows. Have a great day COL Burroughs, keep to the Eagles area.

"Take control of your destiny. Believe in yourself. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Don't give up and don't give in." - Wanda Carter
You do not have to be what people expect of you. Decide what it is that you want in this life and do your best to make it happen. I would rather have tried and been partially successful than not to have tried at all. Is there something you are not doing because you don't believe you can. Have you looked around and felt that somehow your fate was written? If those are your beliefs what can you do to change them?

Your choice, you can dread every stroke, or you can dog paddle with a smile. I choose to go smiling, again "Attitude is Altitude." Thanks Colonel for the wise words.
