U.S. Navy SEAL Creed
Posted in Life | 6 Comments
At GiveMore, we don’t feel business is analogous to battle and war. In fact, business might be more enjoyable if fewer people had this attitude.
Regardless, challenges exist and we believe the necessary attitudes and characteristics to overcome these challenges are similar to some of those required of our military personnel (only we never have to risk making the ultimate sacrifice).
Let the U.S. Navy SEALs inspire you.

The Creed
“In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life. I am that man.
My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.
My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.
I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.
We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.
I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me – my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.
We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.”

Inspirational to say the least.
A real challenge to live by.
An invitation to ever value the American way of life.

To conquer oneself in the mist of liberty is a real the space needed
to the pursue of happiness and co-habitate with our fellow Americans.
Thank you Navy Seals, I join you!
They are amazing. I am so grateful for their strength, power, resolution and sacrifice.
What if I used this creed in my work or family life? Change up the words and think hard about that…
The Navy Seals I honor and respect!
I am both grateful and proud to be an American. Our country needs more than ever, those who belive in the wisdom of our founding fathers . . .
