Simon Sinek is a British-American author and inspirational speaker.During an interview, Simon mentioned that only 10% of Navy Seals make it through the initial training process and he gives some insights as to who gets through.
It’s not the big, muscle-bound guys. They look impressive but don’t have what it takes.
It’s not the tattooed tough guys. They look scary but don’t have what it takes.
It’s not the college-educated stars. They look like leaders but don’t have what it takes.
The ones who make it through don’t necessarily look impressive and there may be times during the training when they are shivering in fear.
But at some point during the grueling, punishing training, when they’re exhausted, when they’re mentally spent and when it doesn’t look as though they can go on, they dig deep and find a way to help the person next to them.
Wherever the Lord has planted you, serve Him faithfully. Today in prayer, praise Jesus for the gifts and talents He has given you and seek to serve Him faithfully.
“As long as I see any thing to be done for God, life is worth having; but O how vain and unworthy it is to live for any lower end!” – David Brainerd
