“There is an enormous difference between ‘WANT TO’ and ‘HAVE TO’.

When you ‘WANT’ something you are merely wishing… and from my experience wishing doesn’t get you much.

However, when you reach the point where you ‘HAVE TO’ have or achieve something your situation becomes do or die; you find yourself with no other option other than to reach your goal.

It’s at that point problems and obstacles no longer stand in your way. It’s then that you get or achieve what you ‘HAVE TO’.

Rick Singleton

“A challenge only becomes an obstacle when you bow to it.”
Ray A. Davis

August 23

Before we can overcome any serious challenge or problem we must first have the ability to dream; to think big... outside our tiny selves.

We must believe we can overcome even the largest battles.

We must realize that we are bigger than we thought we were.

We must put together a strong and trustworthy plan that we believe in.

Finally we must execute that plan to exacting detail.

Then we will be victorious.

However, if something goes wrong along the way, all we have to do is persevere;

We must get up without hesitation and begin our efforts once again.

Rick Singleton

Tommy Lasorda

August 30

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

George S. Patton

August 31

To win a any battle we must defeat two enemies.

The one we believe to be our opponent- our external enemy; and most importantly the giant, ever-imposing rival- our internal enemy.

And the best way to defeat the true opponent- your internal enemy, is to partner up with it.

Make that enemy realize, this battle is 'nothing’ if the two of you fight side by side.

Turn that enemy into your ally, your partner… your best friend.

Now you have an unbeatable team and together the two of you will overcome anything!
