Love this, Seth!

My best days are knowing I made a positive difference in someone else's life. I've had challenges in my life and career, highlighted in my memoir Change Your Stars: Live Your Purpose and Achieve Your Dreams, and have been a part of some great groups. Those were difficult times, but we persevered and ultimately achieved what others considered impossible, all for the good of our country; that was very rewarding and fulfilling. It's times like these that help you discover what you are made of and capable of doing with the support of others and by the grace of God.

Thank you for transparently sharing your story. Even at age 68 it inspired me to get busy with some aspects of my life I’ve let slip. BTW, I always struggled with the run, too. I maxed out sit-ups, pull ups and dips in the Naval Academy fitness test but always barely passed the mile run. That kept me off the Dean’s list several semesters until I got serious. And just like you, I needed a battle buddy to make it happen. Iron sharpens iron.
