Hi everyone,

The phrase "improvise, adapt, overcome" is the unofficial slogan of the U.S. Marine Corps, which popularized it through the movie Heartbreak Ridge.

I certainly owe the U.S Marine Corps a debt of gratitude as those 3 months in Marine Corps Bootcamp forever changed me moving forward.

We may run into obstacles in life, but there is always a way forward.

Go around it, under it and/or over it. Do whatever it takes.

But do NOT let it stop you. As long as we live and breathe we can find a way forward whether its a small thing or a mountain of a problem.

You are capable of more than you realize.

We have unlimited possibilities ahead of us.

Pick yourself up, shake the dust off and begin again.

To Our Success!

Mel Waller

Thank you, Mel, '
WOW, yes you are so right, I really needed to hear that and I'm sure there is others too that can relate. I'm locking that away in my words of wisdom box for next time, I or anyone I know feel like it's all hard. We can achieve anything we want too, thank you for the encouragement.

I love the way you put it: go around it, under it, or over it, but don’t let it stop you. That’s the kind of mindset that builds resilience and success.

Thank you for sharing this encouragement, Mel. We all need these reminders to pick ourselves up, shake off the dust, and keep going.
