5 foto essay




Success takes many forms, from overcoming your laziness and getting out of bed to dominating your friend in a brutal whip cream war. Which I may or may not have started, This is my victory pose after I completely and totally destroyed her in the war. It was hard and messy but she will never come at me with a can of whip cream again. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE HIGHLANDER!

  

Success is a hard thing to accomplish. The very act of succeeding in life cannot be accomplished by yourself. You need people to build you up and support you, the bible says that steel sharpens steel. Surround yourself with good strong people that you can always count on. This picture was taken before I deployed, it contains two of the people that are very influential in my life. My brother Davey and my sister Kristi. I was saying good bye to them getting read to drive back to base. They are the support for the long road ahead.



Just like you need to have a group of strong people behind you, you also have to have the right gear. Things that will aid you in your journey to success. The right tools can make it so you sink or swim. I was on duty in Africa and one of the navy cats left there helmet laying around, so I took it and did duty in one of the village people hats.

 


The road to success is never ending, the path is unknown and a little scary at first. You will find yourself a lot of times alone staring out wondering which way to go and how you are going to get there. This picture was taken on a boat house on a vacation I went on with my family. When you are stuck on a boat house with your family peace and quiet is rare, so you enjoy it when you can.



Don’t be discouraged, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Failure is but a moment in your long life. Don’t ever let your fears and pains stop you, tomorrow is another day and what was so over whelming yesterday may have lost some of its terror today. I took this picture in Africa after a unit run. It was too hot to run during the day so we ended up running in the morning or at night. It was a nice welcome when I got back to my tent.

  1. Great photos that add to the message of the words in the post. I especially like the one on the houseboat. It does look very peaceful but I can understand what you mean about how rare that can be when on a family vacation. Nice post. Thanks for sharing all of this with us./
