Soar or sink?

His 9,000 pound Humvee was blown up by a roadside bomb. He lost an arm and a leg.

He was in deep, dark despair.

Saw him last night for the first time on Dancing with the Stars.

Courage amplified.

Today’s lunch meeting at Magic Kingdom with the CEO was already primed to be courage amplified, well before seeing the soldier above.

His office was nothing more than a wooden floor

Lower right, sitting on the floor, was HQ for 40 minutes yesterday.

 

His office was nothing more than a wooden floor. No chair.

You can see exactly where in the photo above. He sat in the lower right corner, back against the display.

He could have postponed the run until after the 9am call with the CEO, but instead, he began walking, hoping it would turn into a long run.

It did. Ten miles, eventually.

But 20 minutes later, it was time to find a quiet place for the 30-minute call.

Five months of slow, sporadic conversations.

He was glad he could call from anywhere.

This is growth.

And freedom.
