This day 35 years ago my back was broken & I was paralyzed forever. Little did I know I would one day be Governor of Texas. It just shows that anything is possible in our great state. Never let your challenges stop YOU from achieving your goals.

A big lesson 3 decades ago, attending Survival (SERE) School was, “In the hands of the enemy, the flag is only a rag.” I’ve had to lean on that through the years while deployed in many war & conflict zones & over the last week. What I never expected: the enemy to come from within

The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next. ~Abraham Lincoln

COMPARISON is the root of that unhappiness. Identify it and STOP the comparison. ACCEPT that you can't go back to a previous time. ACCEPT that you can't live someone else's life. ACCEPT that you won't get that dream body today... And START EMBRACING this moment!

Everyday, in every interaction, I have one goal: to love, serve, and add value to the lives of others! What is yours? #Leadership #Brand

The Durham report confirms what we already knew: the “Russia collusion” investigation and everything that followed was complete and utter bullshit. Political hacks like Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, John Brennan, and others exposed in this report are responsible for irreparable harm

Disgraceful. Obama-Biden officials and the corrupt corporate media pushed these piles of lies for years. Accountability now— starting with WaPo and The New York Times returning their Pulitzer Prizes for breathlessly spreading these ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ lies.
