Special Operations Forces: 100% grit and grind? Not true.We lived by a different code: 👇

Everyone dies. But not everyone truly lives. Even worse? Not everyone lives the way they dreamed they would. I discovered this in “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying” by Bronnie Ware.This book hit me hard. Bronnie was an Australian nurse. She spent eight years with people in their final months. Just listening.
