This book draws on the wisdom of an extensive collection of 3x5 index cards that I began assembling during my college years-when I spent my summers as a door-to-door book salesman-and continued to accumulate throughout my life. And then recently, during the global pandemic, I began to think about writing a book as a means of organizing the index-card chaos that now filled a giant plastic tub.I even imagined that the tidbits I had collected could be a life-giving resource for readers-including, perhaps, my grandchildren one day. Thus, the book you hold in your hands (or perhaps view on your device reader) is my attempt to consolidate some of the greatest hits from my "plastic tub of wisdom." I hope you'll find that the stories, quotations, insights and life-changing experiences that I share in the book will inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and live an extraordinary, magnificent and abundant life.

It is what the author would have been doing on active duty.
