I was 19 years old, broken and mentally defeated. Until this point I had never had the desire to quit anything so badly. I was on the last event of RAP week(Ranger Assessment Program Week). I was morally defeated and no longer had the motivation or the will to carry on.
I took a moment and did a deep self reflection and decided to not let the emotions win, I picked up my ruck and carried on. This was when I realized just how amazing and powerful the human mind truly is. I learned that if you want something bad enough, no matter how bad it sucks or how hard it is the potential to achieve is within us.
Many people go through life falling victim to any little excuse or obstacle that gets in their way. It is not completely their fault for they do not know their true potential. Most people never do anything in life truly remarkable they never push themselves to see what they are truly made of.
Its time to change!
