Amelia Earhart's birthday was this week, so The Grit Project remembers one of her many great quotes inspiring others toward their best selves!
Leadership is about others-- once you've done the work yourself. A critical understanding for any leader, and something that comes out of every Grit Project profile (all at medium.com/@aborderlife). . . . . . . . . . . #leadership #grit #military #business #leadershipmatters #leadershipmattersnowmorethanever #getyourgrit #ownyourgrit #dothework #crushit #ownit #ownitgirl #businessleadership #businesstips #businessminded #selfimprovement #continuousimprovement #thegritproject #youvegotgrit #findyourgrit #bethebest #bethebestyoucanbe #yourbestself #purposedriven #corepurpose #passionandpurpose

This is my eldest son and me in Normandy in 2014. It is sacred ground. There is somehow a sense of not only history but imminence there, in a place where you can find the graves of father and son laid side by side. This is a place where many are laid to rest after offering their lives, giving everything so that others could be free. It is a place of tragedy and yet of strength and of hope in honoring the lives given for liberty. To have worn the uniform of the people buried here is an incredible honor. These are things we must teach our children, to work to appreciate what others have given, to only fight when absolutely necessary, and when committed to hold nothing in reserve, and finally, to honor those who gave all when it was required of them. #Normandy #France #memorialday #memorialdayweekend2018 #memorialday🇺🇸 #remember #neverforget #neverforgotten #memorial #sacrifice #lastfullmeasureofdevotion #ultimatesacrifice #ultimateprice #history #honor #valor #WWII #military @usarmy @usmc @usnavy @usairforce @uscg #uniform #teachthechildren #appreciation #holiday
