Inspirational Quote from Nelson Mandela

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears. – Nelson Mandela

In life we need to make many choices.  As Nelson Mandela says it is important that are choices are based on our hopes not our fears.  If anyone’s life is a true example of this quote, it is Nelson Mandela’s life.  He was a man who would not tolerate racial injustice in his country.  His hope was to have equality for all in his homeland of South Africa.  He did not let fear stop him.  He sacrificed 27 years of his life in prison fighting for his dream to come to pass.  He went from being incarcerated for 27 years to becoming the president of his country.  Overcome your fears in life and strive to achieve your hopes.

What is holding you back in life?  Do you want to serve our country?  Are you being held back by some fear?  Fear of failing the physical fitness requirements?  Fear of failing the ASVAB? Do not let fear hold you back.  Think of Nelson Mandela.  Look at how his hope for his nation urged him onward.  Let hope be your driving force.  If you need to become more physically fit, work toward that goal.  If you need to improve your ASVAB score, consider finding an ASVAB tutor.  The short-term sacrifice will result in a long-term gain.  Evaluate your goals.  Decide what it is your need to work on.  If signing up for an ASVAB prep course is what you need, look into it.  If you need to improve your ASVAB math or verbal scores, do what it take to overcome.  If your goal is to serve our nation, you cannot let an exam hold you back.  Let your hopes move you forward.
