My Story for Change…

Do you like rollercoaster rides?  I was on a ride with my two kids… 3-2-1 we were in a free fall.  I looked at my daughter with a big smile on her face then I looked at my son he had the face of I’m not coming back on this ride again.  I can relate the two of them… For me I love the fear and thrill of those rides…

Years ago, I was on one the best rides ever… Flight Level 300, 250, 200, 150, We were flying a high rate descent tactical maneuver, ten thousand, nine, eight.  Then my heart sank.  The alarming sound of the aircraft went off.  With my heart pounding we took immediate responsive action and proceeded to land at our airfield.

As we approached our landing zone all I could think about was advice I received during pilot training “In an emergency… make sure you sound cool” – As we gathered our composer in the silence shock -- I voiced to my crew “Did anyone crap their pants” We chuckled and It changed the mood just enough for us land our aircraft and taxi safely to park.

After the incident, command and control changed our mission. We were asked to extend our mission to bring some fallen soldiers back home to the states.  Sitting there and reflecting on our recent incident and now taking in the gravity of our new mission… I come to realization that tonight I had been given a new opportunity to live my life and to live my life differently.

That night I adobted three new principles and concepts that I would start incorporating in my life:

1.     Time is so precious. “Time is your most precious commodity; Wisdom is how you use it”

2.     Moments (good and bad) are opportunities to learn and grow.

3.     Courage, find the courage to live the life you desire.  A life of purpose and meaning

Following that mission, I had new found respect for the life I was living.  I made a choice to use my time to grow and to give back my time in service.
