I was 19 years old, broken and mentally defeated. Until this point I had never had the desire to quit anything so badly. I was on the last event of RAP week(Ranger Assessment Program Week). I was morally defeated and no longer had the motivation or the will to carry on.
I took a moment and did a deep self reflection and decided to not let the emotions win, I picked up my ruck and carried on. This was when I realized just how amazing and powerful the human mind truly is. I learned that if you want something bad enough, no matter how bad it sucks or how hard it is the potential to achieve is within us.
