Today’s guest is Air Force Special Warfare Recruiter, Jeremy May.  He finds the best candidates to fill the most physically and tactically demanding careers in the Air Force. 

For today’s skillset challenge, One of the things I noticed during the interview, is that Jeremy May has one of the most naturally optimistic attitudes.  Everything he says has an underlying current of appreciation or optimism.  We all know that positivity when forced, feels fake and inauthentic. 

So my challenge to you, is to find things you actually believe that you can be positive about. Not things you think you should be positive about, but things you actually believe.  And then spend some time focusing on it, and appreciating it. If someone in your life that has impacted your for good, then tell them.  If you are loving the spring, go on a hike or to the park and make a mental list of all the things you appreciate about it.  Optimism is a skill that can help pull you through when life is difficult, as long as the optimism is real and true to you. 

If you are really honest, What is something you genuinely love about your job, life, or military career? Share with me on the TAMF social media sites or website.
