Have you asked yourself this question?
“How far can I go?”
Isn't that an interesting question?
It was one Dan Sullivan pondered, at age 11, while walking along a field stepping on corn stalks underfoot in northern Ohio, during the 1950s.
I grew up in central Indiana myself. I was born in 1959 and lived there until 1978.
I can remember, what felt like a miserable existence at the time (to me). Jobs there were hard to come by in the small community of Cloverdale Indiana where I lived.
So at the young age of 17, I decided to escape the world I occupied. [How many of you would like to do that from time to time?]
I dared to wonder how far I could go.
So, before turning 19, I enlisted in the US Navy. After scoring high on the ASVAB test the military gave me, to identify skills suitable for military service, I was accepted into a six-year commitment that would train me in Advanced Electronics, and accelerate promotion in the military.
I was told that I could be anything I wanted and pursue any military career, with one exception. I could not enter the Nuclear field. Which was fine for me. REALLY, who needs to glow?
I was excited to start my new life.
Yes, I knew I was leaving behind everything and everyone.
It was exciting and scary at the same time.
I had only lived in Indiana my entire life, with exception of a 6-month short stint in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a kid.
So being transported from Indiana to Illinois, for boot camp and then my first electronics school, was beyond my wildest imagination. Then, later, off to California for another advanced electronics school.
This was the path I chose for myself.
Note: Dan Sullivan was asked at a crucial point in his life a powerful question.
One you may need to consider one day yourself.
He was struggling at doing something that he felt was too difficult. So he sat down, thinking he could not continue.
Here comes the question.
“Is this where you stop?” he was unsure how to answer and said, “What do you mean?” The person replied, “Everybody stops somewhere”.
“Is this where you stop?”
