About Me
Most people never have to do anything truly hard in their lives.
Their idea of overcoming adversity is pulling an all night study session, or work a little over time, or not be able to afford the leopard skin pants they wanted and actually have to save for something, rather than get the instant gratification for their every need being attended to.
Kids aren't allowed to lose, so there is a trophy for everyone.
Hurtful words are now being equated to physical violence, which is comical.
We go to war and only .45% of the population answers the call over 11 years.
Increasingly, we're told that we are the smartest, most handsome, and most amazing people in the whole world. Even if we haven't done a Goddamn thing to earn that status.
In short, people have no idea what sacrifice looks like anymore.
Then, when they're given the tiniest window into the military world and they see kids reaching physical exhaustion, getting yelled at and brought down emotionally, they just see cruelty.
They don't see the value because they don't know what we know.
That toughness is earned
It has to be earned.
You can be naturally smart and naturally athletic.
You can be born with every advantage.
But when you're being shot at, none of that matters.
All that matters is the work you've put in, the skill you've acquired, and the willingness to fight through it all and never quit, no matter what.
In that moment, and that moment alone can you realize the futility of the participation trophy.
It's first place or nothing.
Warriors are not born.
They're made through hard work, suffering, and sacrifice.
TOUGHNESS IS EARNED.
