Happy Fathers Day!.I wanted to share some of my struggles and perspectives on life to help out someone who is struggling with their childhood..Just because you may have had a terrible childhood, does not mean that your adult life has to reflect that..Also, just because someone was not acting great as a parent back then, does not mean they can't change and become better people later on..Understanding and awareness is key for growing emotional intelligence.

Have you ever been to a point where you felt that your climb to the top of anything in life actually turned out diffrently?.We fight and scratch our way up and take a breather, then realize we are just on a rock..I talk about those emotions when we realize that we are not where we thought we were supposed to be..I also talk on how comfortable we tend to get when we get to the top, as well as how seasons changing makes a mountain feel like a rock.

Starve it Out.I share a dream that I recently had and talk about how it relates to a few things that I have been working on to help grow my mindset.

From a leadership perspective, the "crawl, walk, run" phases have been great building blocks to promote growth with results..I talk little bit about how it can be beneficial to use this technique..I share my plans to use a crawl phase to help build my faith, mindset, and discipline for a 5 day growth building excersise.

We are familiar with using "control, alt, delete" on our computers to force certain programs to shut down..We often use that in our every day life away from computers..I have found that many times I want to force close something that I should have left running..It comes with a balance of understanding situations in our lives and being aware of our emotions..sometimes we need "control, alt, repeat" in our lives.

We talk about Cancel culture and recognizing times in our lives that it helps us and can hurt us.How Matthew 5:44 really jumps out at me when this comes to mind."But I say, love your enemies!  Pray for those who persecute you!"The last things on our mind is to pray for our enemies, but i share my insight on what changed my thinking and how i try to apply this in my life.

Talking to a mental health professional can have a huge impact or even halt your military career.Losing your flight status or security clearance for getting help are possibilities and prevent these warriors from even starting a dialogue.How can we reach this group of warriors to start a new process?Is this something that should be done?I think so, and I talk about a few reasons why I didn't want to.

Being grateful and thankful is important for growth.Recognizing anxiety and depression before it hits hard.discipline = Freedom.Don't wait until the new year to start working on your goals.

How Tacos brought joy in this veterans life..Tacos became more than just a food for me.

A break down of key monuments or landmarks that "trigger" veteran struggles on holidays.Not everyone is smiles and joy during the season for these reasons.These include;*Finances*Being away from loved ones or home*Loss of loved one, friend, or brother/sister in combat*Survivors guilt& why so many veterans want to escape reality because of the pain these issues bring.
