“If Your PERSISTENT - You Will GET IT!” “If Your CONSISTENT - You Will KEEP IT!” “Stop justifying your dreams… Execute on them! The audacity of a lot of our dreams are pretty ridiculous considering the amount of people unwilling to put in the work. You need to walk the talk, and do it consistently. Anything worth having in life is not going to be easy to acquire.” - “Everyday I’m working to sharpen my skill set, learn a new concept, or take action on a new idea. Being CONSISTENT is what will allow me to succeed. The daily habits you develop to ensure that you’re heading in the right direction are what really matter.” - “Embrace the grind. If you don’t truly love the struggle of the come up, you won’t appreciate it as much when you finally make it out. No matter how slow your progress is, just remember that you’re moving forward! You’re still way ahead of those that aren’t even trying. This is what persistence is all about.” - “Get 1% better today, that’s all I ask. Anything else is a bonus. Never stop, and never settle!” https://lnkd.in/e_QRtXsn Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston
In order to become what you want and get what you need, you have to be both. Be grateful for the blessings of a new week.

Happy Warrior Wednesday, everyone! As we move through Military Appreciation Month, it’s the perfect time to truly reflect on and celebrate the incredible dedication and bravery of our service members and their families. This month isn’t just about recognition; it’s a heartfelt thank you to those who have given so much to ensure our freedoms. Why Military Appreciation Month Matters: 1. Honor the Sacrifices: From the long deployments to the missed family moments, our troops make countless sacrifices. This month, we’re taking extra time to acknowledge and thank them for these selfless acts. 2. Support for Military Families: Behind every service member is a family that serves in their own way. Let’s make sure we’re also supporting the spouses and kids who keep things running at home. 3. Get Involved Locally: Check out the parades, memorial services, and community events happening this month. Whether you’re attending or volunteering, it’s a great way to show your support. 4. Educate and Share Stories: Use this month as a chance to spread the word about the military’s vital role and the personal stories of those who serve. Whether it’s through social media or in conversations at school or work, every story told is another layer of appreciation. 5. Shop Military-Owned Businesses: Let’s give back by supporting businesses run by veterans and military spouses. It’s a small way to uplift those who’ve already given so much. A Personal Note from Next Move Military: Here at Next Move Military, our commitment to supporting military members extends far beyond just this month. We’re here all year round, helping military families find, settle into their new homes and integrate into their communities, making transitions as smooth as possible. This Military Appreciation Month, let’s make a real effort to show our gratitude. Reach out to someone you know who serves or has served, and simply say thank you. It’s a small gesture that can make a big impact.

Thursday Thoughts: I am a couple of generations removed from the Greatest Generation who defeated Hitler and saved us all from his tyranny. But there a few ideals, common by necessity, during that era that I aim to personally and professionally hold myself accountable to. I can thank my father Reverend Frank Gray Sr (My first Pastor, Vietnam war veteran, honorably discharged from the USAF) for passing these along to me at a young age. Today, I’d like to focus on one: • Service Is Its Own Reward A culture can win or lose its humanity with the emphasis or de-empahsis of a prime cultural principle. Service Is Its Own Reward is one of those, in my humble estimation. In today’s world, dominated by a philosophy of fringe benefits and quid pro quo, this means we need to remphasize the value of self-sacrifice. We need to elevate the underfunded yet essential programs, the underpaid yet critical staff, the “routine” poverty-centric intervention strategies that are ever present in all of our planning cycles. Let’s remind ourselves why we choose to serve, and for whom our service is needed. Let’s develop opportunities to make the work more fulfilling so that service indeed, once again, becomes its own reward. Let’s celebrate our unsung and unseen heroes and heroines who live by this prime principle each day. Without them, non of our organizations would be in business. #charity #philanthropy #service #community

FIVE WAYS TO COMMEMORATE MEMORIAL DAY Memorial Day is viewed as the official beginning of summer, marked by picnics and BBQs with friends and family. But this holiday was established to set aside time to honor and remember those who died while serving in the U.S. military. In addition to picnics and BBQs, here are five great ways to commemorate Memorial Day this weekend. 1. Attend A Ceremony. Many towns have parades and ceremonies on Memorial Day. Some even conclude with a memorial service. Make time to take advantage of what your town offers. 2. Decorate with Flags. For many years, it has been a tradition to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flags on Memorial Day or fly our flag at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. If you have a flag pole, consider joining the tradition this year. 3. Thank A Veteran. While Memorial Day is a time for remembering and honoring our fallen soldiers, it’s also a wonderful time to thank soldiers past and present who are in our midst today. Thank them for their service. If you do not know a veteran or want to do more, write a letter to a veteran or soldier! Check out https://buff.ly/2DhxLZD for more information about writing letters or sending care packages to soldiers currently deployed. 4. Participate in our National Moment of Remembrance. To ensure Memorial Day is the sacred and noble holiday it is intended to be, the National Moment of Remembrance asks us to pause for 1 minute in national unity wherever we are at 3 PM local time on Memorial Day. 5. Buy A Poppy. During the days leading up to Memorial Day, members of the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) accept donations for poppies. The poppy’s significance to Memorial Day derives from John McCrae’s poem, “In Flanders Fields.” Disabled and needy veterans in VA hospitals have been assembling Buddy Poppies since 1924. When you purchase a poppy, your donation assists in maintaining state and national rehabilitation and service programs for veterans. #EllenMorano #MemorialDay2024 #Honor #Remembrance #Veterans #FallenSoldiers #ThankYou

Посада Head of Department, Rakhiv Town Council // volunteer & fundraiser NGO Volunteers of Rakhiv District
Do you know how to prepare a magic potion? ✨ Our brave warriors do know how! 🔥 To do this, our team of volunteers prepares the ingredients and sends them to the front line. And then, adding only water to our secret ingredients, the guys conjure in their dugouts 🥘 This magic potion is called... Ukrainian borsch! It gives them magic powers to fight the enemy 💪🏻 BORSCH FOR THE BRAVE - another ongoing activity by our volunteers. 🥣 Borsch - a famous Ukrainian dish, that belongs to the intangible UNESCO world heritage. It got a new meaning with the beginning of the war. Numerous teams of volunteers prepare it in various ways to send to the front line. Here we prepare dried borsch, which is then easily cooked in field conditions only by adding boiling water. It's an ongoing process in which many citizens of the community take part. We agree on which ingredients each of us is responsible for, and then bring it all to Antonina Kozurak, our local team leader, who later sends it for packing. 🥔🧅🍅🥬🍠🥕 Potatoes, carrots, beetroots, cabbage, onions, greens are grated/chopped then dried in an oven; meat (not fatty) is first boiled then minced and dried too. Afterwards the ingredients are mixed together in certain proportion and packed. But the main ingredient is our love and care for our brave defenders, and our best wishes of safety to them 🩵💛 Below you can see our borsch being prepared by the soldiers in frontline conditions. It has a special taste there: the taste of another day withstood, another breath of air taken, the taste of hope for another bowl of such a borsch tomorrow or hopefully in a week too with all of your brothers-in-arms safe, alive and around, it has the taste of home and the love of your family ❤️ To help us continue sending the ingredients of the magic potion and give strength to the guys at the forefrontline, please use the details in the comments below. #support_ukraine #military #aid #volunteers #donations #supplies #provisions #meals #food #delivery #LinkedIn #network #connections #army #help

ONE’s updated Position Paper on Veterans' Policy For your awareness, please find ONE’s updated Position Paper on Veterans Policy. ONE receives assistance from many quarters in support of veterans of the Defence Forces. This has enabled the organisation to: 1. Open and sustain its current four homes 2. Develop fifteen veterans support centres and thirty – three branches nationwide 3. Plan the delivery of additional homes 4. Put in place a range of supports for veterans, with specific focus on mental health support. The sustainability of the aforementioned must be ensured and ONE believes that the facts we have created on the ground should be enshrined in a Government Veterans’ Policy thereby ensuring continued support for veterans in need. This support will be strengthened by research into areas affecting veterans and fortified by having a cross governmental agency tasked with co-ordinating the delivery of Veterans’ Policy – The Office of Veteran Affairs. ONE recommends that the next Programme for Government includes: * A commitment to develop a comprehensive Veterans’ Policy. * A reaffirmation of the commitment to establish an Office of Veterans Affairs. Download the paper here: https://lnkd.in/eWKcxGT9 Kind Regards, Cormac Kirwan Chief Executive Officer Óglaigh Náisiúnta na hÉireann/Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel (ONE) ONE’s primary objective is to support the needs of Irish veterans by the provision of accommodation to homeless and other veterans in need of such domestic accommodation in its Veterans’ Homes and the provision of other advice and support to veterans, in particular Mental Health advice, through its nationwide network of Branches and Veterans’ Support Centres.

Despite numerous discussions, the reality is that without the contributions of non-profit organizations, little progress would have been made for Veterans. Nevertheless, for individuals aspiring to work for esteemed non-profit agencies like the WWP, it is crucial to enhance their salary packages. These salaries must reflect the current cost of living to attract a significant workforce. #GotYour6 #CraigNewmark
