Um And , and also he'd already been through multiple deployments , um , was with , with us , with me in the battle of Ramadi . He then went back into Solder City and , and led a ton of very dangerous operations and then he did other deployments and was kind of done with his deployments , kind of done .

So the daily actions that I take aren't from motivation . They're , they're just from discipline . Like , like I said earlier , I'm not going to get up and go through some big debate about , well , do I really feel like doing this ?
But like when you think of sources of motivation , do you have a palate of them that you can dip into ? Do you even feel the need to dip into them or is it really just all about action steps throughout your day or if I can even venture into the , the somewhat , you know , harder stories that I've heard you talk about .

It's , it's , it's pretty rare . Some people think they have it . But true .
Like , like I said earlier , I'm not going to get up and go through some big debate about , well , do I really feel like doing this ? No , I don't feel like doing it but it doesn't matter . So I'm just gonna go do it now if we start to look at sort of a broader movement through life and continuing to try and move forward and move on .
