    ~~PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!~~


    It's Special Operations Training in Kentucky. It's January. We're on the river. It's well below freezing. We're standing on the river bank with orders to break the ice and enter the frigid water. Once in we the boat, we must flip the boat while floating down the river and avoiding life threatening dangers and regain entry and complete the mission. When your boat flips.... stay together, protect each other, don't drop the oars and communicate. COMPLETE YOUR MISSION!


    This mission was more than about technical skills, it was about having a shared sense of purpose with your team. As long as everyone is on the same page, communicates, and looks out for each other, the mission will be completed. This shared sense of purpose is what you can develop and rely on. Be it your work crew, family, friends, etc... When your boat flips.... stay together, protect each other, don't drop the oars and communicate. COMPLETE YOUR MISSION!

    Gut Check Moment? Why do you do what you do? Do you do it for money or for self preservation or recognition? Do you do it out of service? Do you do it to serve others, your family, your community, God, and/or country?


    Many of us go through life defining success as achieving recognition or a "title". We get caught up in society's game searching for money, fame, and glory. The ones who have impacted this world the most are the ones who had hearts of service. When we reach out and serve others it often comes full circle. That's why at 5 Stone we strive for everyone to prepare, respond, and SERVE!!!

    Know your tools and most importantly how to use them under stress!


    Whether you are military, law enforcement, first responder, medical, or in any other career.... Everyone has a toolbox with essential tools needed to help you succeed and even serve others. Do you know what tools are at your disposal? Are you trained and prepared to utilize those tools even when under stress?


    Shying away from complicated yet essential skills or gaining knowledge not only negatively impacts you, but the ones around you and those you serve. 5 Stone's mission is to Prepare, Respond, and Serve. This may seem easy to say, but to comprehend and make a part of your daily life is more complicated.

    Are we perceiving reality or what our emotions lead us to believe is real in order to defend and protect ourselves? All too often we are faced with challenges that incite fear and anger and lead us to respond based off of our emotions rather than reality. If we can identify the triggers that lead to this emotional impact we are more likely to learn adaptation and avoidance measures to help us respond in a more rational and effective manner.

    If you put other people first, you will never be put last. Alexander the Great's soldiers were protesting and ready to go home, he stepped up and showed them that all his scars were all on the front of his body and said they were got for them. This revealed his willingness to sacrifice for his team and showed his leadership and not cowardice.


    STEP UP, DO THE RIGHT THING, AND LEAD FROM THE FRONT! In today's society we all too often are afraid of leaving our comfort zone, afraid to suffer, and many have selfish attitudes and behaviors. This perspective will not only cause your team to be weak and fragile, but will ultimately lead to your collapse.

    Thomas Edison was America's most famous inventor. He was also know for what many called his failures. He once stated, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."


    So many times in our lives we fear taking a stand, taking a first step, making a decision all based on feeling of "failure" and often what others may think of us if we don't succeed on that 1st, 2nd, or 10,000th attempt. We must realize that failure is part of success. It is a step to success. Failure makes success. KEEP FIGHTING, DON'T GIVE UP!

  • #4 - Motivation Mondays Ep. 2: “Out This Door, NOTHING!”

    “Out This Door, NOTHING!”


    In the Spartan Warrior culture the warriors protected each other. Their mission was first to protect their “line”, because without putting others first the line would break, fail, and they would be overcome. Above their door hung a sign saying “Out this door, NOTHING!”


    Who is your “line”? Who are you protecting? Who are you serving? Is it your family, co-workers, partner, your unit, your team, your company? Join together, serve each other, support each other, LEAD each other. Once done... you see success!
