    I had the privilege of serving with Bill for a couple of years in his parent Regiment and I can attest to his professionalism as a soldier and his unwavering loyalty to those he considers friends. A hard man with a great sense of humour and for me and many others, an inspiration.

This video inspired me to deal with my situation but to change it. I am taking back my power. No more depression. I am taking charge. I will push forward looking for work every day for 8 hours.

      Don't neglect to 1 invest in yourself, try to self teach a marketable skill whether it's as simple as typing or cleaning or driving delivery. Take 30-60 minutes each day and practice to make yourself better. 2 volunteer, around town or at local businesses, offer to give them one day a week in exchange for training and references, even if they can't hire you direct. Build a network of people who trust you, so when an opportunity comes up, they will refer YOU to a job that you never would have known about otherwise.

      Sometimes writing can be healing for us. Life breaks us down and truthfully? Some things don't happen for a reason or there isn't a lesson to learn, so don't let anyone tell you that about your situation. Grief comes in waves and is equal to the love we hold for the one lost. If it helps you, write your feelings out on paper. Take care Brad ❤

    I lost my Dad to cancer after caring for him for 10 months, then my closest brother to cancer, then my dog. I lost one of my closest friends to covid last year. I've also lost the last 10 years of my life to health anxiety and depression because of the trauma of it all. I'm just slowly coming out of the worst depression I've had in my life, which lasted the last 3 months. I started to feel a bit better today then this video pops up on my CZcams recommended and I'm so glad it did. This is the most inspirational and honest video I've seen on CZcams, and I've seen many. It really has struck a chord with me. I will listen to this every day from now on to inspire me to live a better life, and to move forward, always a little further. Thank you!

      You were right first time, she is with your dad now! So you live your life now and remember the love and joy that created you! You owe that to them, and they like most parents would expect you to mourn a little, but live a heck of a lot! Their love never goes away, never! Let the sadness go! Remember the joy and live the very best you can, because it's all a very precious gift. Peace and love to you. You will be alright. When you feel sad, just remember the joy! XXX.

    I remember watching my mum die of cancer over the 6 months she had left. For couple of years it changed the person I was, very withdrawn and wishing I could see my mum again. Realising she wasn’t coming back I push myself in my career from carpenter, site manager and now project manager. When my dad died about 20yrs after it put me in a better mental state to handle the grief. Everyone is different and has a story to tell and like Billy said keep moving forward is the best thing to do.

    As a young troop commander leading my soldiers on a combat fitness test, complete with MANPADS and the usual kit (we passed the load up and down the lines to take our fair share), I was shocked to find tabbing along just behind and to the side of me General Peter DLB our new GOC. He drew up alongside me, where we continued to converse for about ten minutes (still doubling along). Then the general dropped a gear and pulled ahead of us at ever increasing speed, with his staff in tow, to catch up with the troop half a kilometre ahead of us. Without doubt, to man, we all moved quicker and felt several inches taller. A very quiet but inspiring man.

    • @mikga45
      @mikga45 Před 2 lety +4

      SAS was the start of special forces from the USA. Their SAS helped train the early special forces for the USA. I was stationed in Berlin Germany in my army days. 1976 to 1979 at mcNair barracks. It was long ago I think the unit I was in was 4th bn 6th infantry. Don't remember all anymore. We had war games against the royal Marines. They were tough and in shape. They could run up mountains with full ruck sack and seem to never tire. The French also had war games with us and they were pretty much useless as soldiers. We did not even waste our time with them 8nstead trained with the royal Marines in our war games. Long ago. Since that time I spent 7 years in combat zones in iraq and 1 year in Afghanistan to get combat zone pay and overseas allowance. 8 years total. Met a girl and foolishly lost my house and everything. At 63 I'm retired on a small social security pension. The social security office lost 4 years of my earnings in Iraq and they said they would fix it they never did. Retired in southeast Asia where I can afford to eat and rent a place. Would have preferred to stay in USA but my monthly income is to small I would be homeless. Live in small 1 room place that has electric and running water and private. Life is ok.

    Life is tough, so you have to be tougher. I ruptured the base of my spine 3 years ago, all nerves below the waist are now dead, no feeling except my little toes. My surgeon told me after he’d operated that I’d probably never walk again, certainly after the next three months I’d be paralysed. I listened to him. Nodded. Thanked him. The day I was released, I walked 12 steps. The day after, a mile. That took over an hour, but I did it. I walked day after day after day, stumbling and panicking but never stopping. Then lockdown hit, I walked further, I got stronger and faster and I never stopped. Now, I walk 12 miles a day, I cycle 10, I’ve started stretching my upper body more and more to gain more strength and I’m never going to quit. I still can’t feel my legs, and I never will, but I proved my surgeon wrong. I can walk. Not in spite of my nerve damage, but because of it. I listen to my footsteps, I look for objects that might trip me, I feel the ground as it vibrates up to my chest. I’m stronger now than I ever have been, and if I can do this, then just imagine what you can accomplish with a cold, or not enough money. Don’t let your shortcomings rule you future

    So much respect for Mark’s mindset. I served 12 years in the British Army infantry. My conflict was Banner. 4 tours. You did want to be in the thick of it. To be challenged and assessed. This didn’t mean I hated republicans. Not at all. I was a professional soldier. Obviously at a much lower level of intensity. COP was my peak. Hard routine in wet cold Fermanagh then South Armagh. I’ll never forget it. The sheer buzz. I’m 63 today. I miss it everyday. I’m fit. I tab. I mountain bike. But nothing substitutes putting yourself in harms way. Again, at my low level. But I miss it. I’ll add that I was physically abused by father. Evil stuff. The army gave me everything. I was told: give us 100% we’ll give you the world. Give us 99% you get nothing. Never had better terms and conditions. Billy is such an inspiration. He reminds me that at my level, I did my bit and put myself in the way of it.
