Warrior Up

The idea of Warrior up came about because of an apparent identity crisis I see in modern life at every corner. From politics, churches, colleges, and universities, military and Veterans, millennials and older adults, kids, and youth, and to every ethnic group, it seems our identities are at odds with everything that surrounds us. I believe that inside everyone is an intrinsic yearning to be a warrior. As a former U.S. Marine, I understand both the Warrior mentality and the struggle of adapting when a purpose seems to leave you behind. Although, this book is for anyone trying to make sense of their lives and find their purpose. Warrior Up was written with our Nation's service members in mind and dedicated to the men and women who have dawned a uniform in service to our country!

While there seem to be fewer born with a drive to be a warrior at the heart of their life, if more people would realize how to tap into that warrior life, we would see less mixed up identities and more stable productive citizens. This identity crisis is a worldwide phenomenon and not just isolated to America. It crosses the globe in every single society, culture, and nation, and it's something I have seen from travels, friends, and from family who live in other countries. An ancient drive meets a modern call. Sometimes searching for answers in the storms and fog of life is harder than you can handle. Finding purpose in this life sometimes takes a new perspective.

Throughout this book, you'll find topics that I've learned to be right and true for my years of experience. I am blessed to find my purpose and meaning to this life that has allowed me to rise above my circumstances and to find something that makes sense. I hope you to can find a new perspective to help find your purpose after reading this book. It's a creed; it's a lifestyle, it's more Warrior Up.
