How do you get your voice out to your community? I am honored to have been a guest last night, live-streamed on YouTube and other sites. see the below for replay. Thanks to Emily Gollmer, Brian Gibson, Kurt Roskopf and Susan Roskopf and the #PDHMissionMonday. Project Diehard is about creating a safe space where veterans can go to work thru issues. Sometimes we just need to escape. They also offer an array of services from counseling to education and more. The more I work with veterans I see the mental mindset challenge as more and more significant. What beliefs and habits we have developed during our service that serve us well there, but not so much after. One we talked last night was saying yes to everything, no matter our qualifications. That leads to overwork and burnout. But also got us promoted. In the corporate world, life is a marathon. You have to find a balance and the ability to say "no!" That comes hard for me and many of my peers. Because it was frowned upon in the military. Working with a team of professionals can help you identify and work thru those opportunities. What mental mindset things have you picked up that need to change? Let me know how I can help. Ring the bell on my page for notifications when I post. And connect with me for a conversation. And thanks again to the #ProjectDiehard team. #personalgrowth #professionalsuccess #intentionalliving #careertransition

As the Korean War intensified, war-weary Americans turned to a new leader, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the hero of World War II, to bring them peace. “Ike,” as he was known to everyone, didn’t disappoint them.

WE CAN LEARN FROM BALD EAGLES & CROWS Whether it's in military service, police work or business there is always someone pushing for additional output. In the Marine Corps. the push was for greater tactical performance, ditto in police training & classroom performances. A friend frequently had his cases returned by prosecution for one reason or another until he learned from the Eagle. Interesting concept. https://lnkd.in/gz_wzddU

Douglas Wilson is once again a Plenary speaker at Repairing the Ruins 2024! He will speaking on Rene Girard, St. Anselm, and the Crackle of Envy: "Our work in ACCS is a crucial front in our modern culture wars. As you cannot fight a naval war without ships, or conduct tank warfare without tanks, so it is impossible to have a culture war if we are missing a culture. The ACCS is in the front lines of a most necessary rearmament. The situation is dire—it is like Britain trying to rearm in the thirties. But it is not enough to have old books, Latin courses, and classical music. Cultures need an immune system against the deadliest culture disease, which is envy. And to understand that properly, we need to take a look at Girard and Anselm." Join us June 19-22 in Atlanta. Register before April 30th for early bird pricing. repairingtheruins.org

I'm a huge fan of Naval Ravikant but I can't help to realize that his teachings can be challenging to unpack. What I used know about him are mere snippets of his wisdom. Here's the problem: When you read about Naval, people tend to focus on his wealth, missing the significance of his guiding life principles. Other than the admiration factor of embracing the lifestyle of a successful entrepreneur (which is indeed fascinating), you won't suddenly become enlightened from it. Understanding Naval requires deep-diving into his life-encompassing teachings. A few quotes feel good but don't necessarily mean absorption. Absorption happens when meaningful principles resonate with you... ...and then you apply them. So if you're seeking anything from his inspirational content, or ANY content for that matter, it should be the moments when you connect with an idea that might change your life. Here are the 5 principles from Naval Ravikant that resonate with me the most and have become guiding principles for my life: 1) Pursue freedom, not target-specific goals. 2) Read, learn, and improve continuously. 3) Seek wealth, not status or image. 4) Embrace solitude, cherish your thinking time. 5) Embrace uncertainty, see it as possibilities. I'll be honest, sometimes it feels a little overwhelming. And that's ok. Yet, I refuse to be lured by the surface. I'm shooting for embodiment and application. One day at a time. 💡 New to Naval's principals?
