I read a book a couple years ago titled Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. Marcus and his brother started training to be Navy Seals at age 12. Their father was their coach and they went through intense training for what it was going to take. Both Marcus and his brother Morgan became Navy SEALS. I can't imagine starting at age 12 but that's what they did.
It was one of the most interesting books I've read. I wrote down one short paragraph from the book as it was one of those things that made sense about achieving anything. The following is the quote Marcus wrote:
"Deep down I knew there was something more required to make it into the world's top combat teams. And that was a level of fitness and strength that could only be attained by those who actively sought it, nothing just happens. You always have to strive."
The words that "nothing just happens. You always have to strive" are what caught my attention. Of course it's true, nothing just happens; if you want something there will be a price to be paid and whatever it is we want we will have to go after it. Do you want a successful Shaklee business? Would you like to become financially secure? Do you want to be the healthiest you can possibly be? Do you want a specific rank that Shaklee offers? I could go on and on but I think you get it.
NOTHING JUST HAPPENS. YOU HAVE TO GO AFTER IT.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
