As a Marine I hate to admit it when the Navy gets something right, but the Navy SEAL Creed is one of the best documents I have ever read. Here is a brief excerpt that may help you when you are dealing with stress and adversity in your daily fight:
“I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.” U.S. Navy SEAL Creed
EVERYONE can benefit from the attitude and perseverance demonstrated by our Navy SEALS. Substitute Family, Employer, Spouse for “Nation” and society, competition, peer pressure, bad influences for “enemies” and read it again!
If you want/need to read the rest of it, you can find it here http://navyseals.com/nsw/seal-code-warrior-creed/
Great Post Chris!!
I love the SEAL creed which I have read before. Inserting church, family, work, community, health, etc. is a great idea. I may post that on my wall at home!
Thanks for the important contribution.
