The high road or low.
American Soldier says,
Have you ever wondered what your life would of been like if you changed even the smallest decisions? You know the ones that resulted into one thing that led to another that eventually brought on something that changed your life forever. I think about it every now and then. I will say that I believe in fate wholeheartedly. Just look at the various paths you’ve taken in life and see where you are now. I know that if I would have worked instead of an annual training 4 years ago then I would have never started this blog. That in itself had a big impact on my life. I’ve met some great people, written a book, been published in a few others and have helped countless people. The helping people part is what’s really important to me. I am anonymous so I don’t enjoy the notoriety attached. I think its best in a way. It goes with my personality and military job description.
So with all that being said. When you make that next decision, large or small, don’t think about it. Just do it because you never know where it will lead you. Live your life and don’t try, just do.

I’ve never wondered too much about what “might have been”.
But I often think how every single thing I have ever done, and every decision I have ever made, has led me to exactly to where I am right this very minute.
It has to do with responsibility, and leaves no room for whining.
Similar thing from a different angle, I guess.
I think too much, that’s my problem.
And I often want to know what tomorrow is going to be like and the day after that so on and so forth.
I’m a very cautious person. I’ll try to take your advice next time something happens that might change my life… good or bad.
Thanks.

AS, my Dad, my mentor always says, don’t look back, always look ahead, and only take with you that which is good. It’s been a good philosophy for me. He, like you, has helped countless individuals and always wishes to remain anonymous. That’s the makings of great men.
Congrats to you and thank you for what you have done and are doing. I have posted comments before and enjoy the exchanges on your site. I too have written a book. I am self-published and everything I do is on me. I went public so I can have my work self-supporting. I want to do it again. I have found that I must respond to vets, my era is Nam, when they seek an ear to fill. I am blessed by it. My son is preparing for his third deployment, this time to Iraq. I think through him I will even grow closer to you in spirit. All vets are brothers and sisters, just some of us believe more than others.
