Following in the Footsteps of Our Veterans
Every year, Veterans Day is a great reminder to remember and honor the courage and sacrifices made by the men and women who put everything on the line for the greater good. Their bravery made a difference in the world, and shows us how important it is to take risks in our own lives at times.
Even though your business and personal growth are very different from fighting a war, the examples set by our Veterans can be a great way to keep the right perspective as you are pushing through the difficulties that will come up.
The Example and Sacrifices of Veterans
Veterans are the ultimate example of what it means to make sacrifices for the greater good. They face unimaginable challenges and still push through. The sacrifices these Veterans made are the reason that you and I have the freedom to pursue our dreams today.
Reflecting on these sacrifices is a great way to make a shift in your perspective. You aren’t being asked to risk your safety. But the goals you are pursuing in your life and business could make a big difference to other people and future generations.
Small Risks are Still Important
When you consider the steps you will need to take to chase your dreams, it might feel daunting. But these steps aren’t life-threatening (even though your mind and body might be responding with fight-or-flight).
Whether you are starting a new business or growing your career, it’s important to lean into the fear and shift strategies. You will be stepping into an unfamiliar role and doing things you have never done before.
These risks that you are facing are not about survival. Instead, they are opening opportunities to create the life that you desire. The risks that you are dealing with are so much more manageable compared to the risks taken by our Veterans.
Your Effort Honors Their Sacrifice
One of the reasons we celebrate Veterans Day is because their sacrifices make it possible for us to live in freedom today. Putting yourself out there and being willing to reach for the stars in your endeavors is a way that you can honor the sacrifices that were made by our armed forces.
Don’t take it for granted that you have this option because of the free lifestyle we enjoy! Reaching for your goals and overcoming the fear is one way you can pay respect to the freedom that our Veterans fought to protect.
