This I Believe...

April 21, 2009

I overheard a program on National Public Radio called This I Believe. It got me thinking...

I believe that a strong cup of coffee and my newspapers are the perfect start to a morning.

I believe that dreams are worth pursuing. If they were so easy to make come true, they wouldn't be worth it.

I believe in buying the shoes even though my rent is due a few days later; life's too short.

I believe in that rush of adrenaline that I get when I experience something new. I love that feeling!

I believe in not having excuses. Suck it up.

I believe that everyone deserves equal rights.

I believe that joining the Army was the best decision I ever made, hands down.

I believe that guys that drive big trucks are compensating for other things they may be lacking.

I believe that you should never stop learning.

I believe that someday the Mavs will win the NBA Championship and not choke halfway through the final round of the Playoffs.

I believe in furthering my education, hello grad school!

I believe in never burning bridges and always having a smile on my face.

I believe that false motivation is better than no motivation.

I believe that all my hard work will someday pay off.

I would like to believe that there's some special guy out there for me but currently, that seems pretty farfetched.

I believe in enjoying the little things like lemonade on a sunny day, sending a friend a birthday card, etc.

I believe in my country.

I believe in a good cold beer on a Friday night...and I stress the word "good."

I believe in attention to detail.

I believe that I am supposed to do something great.

I believe in praying every night.

I believe that I-45 is the bane of my existence.

I believe that living in Mexico changed my life for the better because of the memories and friendships made and the lessons learned.

I believe that a guy that can't handle my firecracker personality and Hooah Army spirit isn't worth my time.

I believe in getting out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go skydiving!

I believe in being a role model.

I believe that God only gives me challenges that I can overcome and that He will give me strength if I ask Him.

I believe in pedicures and mimosas with my mom are well worth the money.

I believe my family is amazing.

I believe in me.

    I would agree with almost all of this...minus the Mavericks and false motivation stance...

    I've been reading all your blogs quietly in my office for a couple of days, and I had to congratulate you: your Mavs won last year over my team THE HEAT! ... I'm planning to join the ROTC program. As a matter of fact, tomorrow I have my first interview with the recruiters. I'm very excited and your blog has helped me to overcome my fears and resolve a lot of queries. If could only give me one advice what would it be? and why?

    Oh! and thanks for this blog!

      Stephanie, I hope your interview went well! I'm sure it did!

      Thank you for reading this little blog! If I had one piece of advice what would it be? Tough question. I'm going to quote my dad, the Sarg, and say "choose the hard right over the easy wrong." It's easy to do put in the minimum effort because you will, I guarantee this, see soldiers just skirt by. I see it all the time at my unit. If fact, another LT just got promoted to CPT and I have absolutely no idea how that happened. However, it's worth the time, the patience, the effort to go above and beyond. Do the hard stuff, someone somewhere will notice and appreciate it.

      Good luck to you! I hope you enjoy ROTC!
