WARM UP 11-18-2014WARM UP 11-18-2014Admiral McRaven’s Life Lesson #8:
“If you want to change the world, you must be your very best in the darkest moment.”
Some of the Navy SEAL training missions require them to perform dangerous underwater operations in complete darkness. All of their training needs to carry them through that moment. No one knows when we will take our last breath. We may not have SEAL training but we do have our values, our spirituality, and our relationships to pull us through these darkest moments. It’s not how you start but how you finish that counts!
Construct a well written, thoughtful paragraph describing a time in which you either did or did not become the best “you” in a time of danger, stress, sadness, frustration or anger.
Life can be very trying. Sometimes it's hard to find something for which you can be thankful. So, for just a few minutes, step outside your situation and just "be". Find something, no matter how small, to be thankful for because in giving thanks, you will be lightening your load, even if for only a moment
