List five areas of your life that
lack discipline. How can you improve these? Who in your life has a great
deal of discipline? What are you accountable for? Who are you accountable
to?
1) Study Habits - commit to studying x amount per day, schedule this time into my day ahead of time.
2) Exercise - commit to a routine
3) Healthy Eating - just start, you feel better once you do
4) Quiet Time - commit to this time daily
5) Time Management - have a set list of priorities
My dad has a great deal of discipline. To be constantly changing schedules and work environments he must have self discipline to determine what is of priority and to remember what all must be done.
I am accountable for myself and my actions, the well being of those who are close to me, and those who have put faith and trust into me.
I am accountable to the Lord and myself. I am accountable to my parents, because I seek their advice. I am accountable to this country through the means of the military. I am accountable to my Fraternity to ensure the good name and enhancement of the group.
Who are your five members of your
BOA? Explain why each person has a seat. Who challenges you? Who always
has your best interest in mind? Who doesn’t agree with you?
Note: Within my Board of Advisors I would like to clarify that the members are listed in no certain order.
My Dad:
He has been my role model and what I strive to be when becoming a leader. He has an outstanding military history, he has been involved in many things that develop him as an influential person and an amazing dad. He always challenges me to become the man I strive to be, by encouraging me to be better than the day before. Change is a day to day thing.
My Mom:
My mom has shaped me in ways no one will ever know or understand. She has taught me morals and ethics and how to be a gentlemen and I appreciate every ounce of dedication she has put forth to my growing up. We don't always agree, but she ALWAYS has my best interest in mind. This can make conversations difficult at times but the reassurance to know someone is always looking out for me is comforting.
My best friend, Lyman:
Lyman has been my best friend since high school, we lead the school together and had all kinds of fun doing the things guys like to do. He is on my BOA because I have always gone to him for advise and support in hard and happy times. We know we can be honest with each other without there being hard feelings.
Chloe:
We strive to have a relationship that portrays best friends, but she is much more than a friend to me. When I am needing to make a personal decision, she often comes to mind before I make the decision and how it may affect her or us. She gives advice on a dime and it is nearly always the best advise. She knows me very well and I can depend on steady support from her.
First Sergeant, Owens:
My first shirt is on my BOA because he is such a people person. His job is to handle personnel issues as a liaison between the enlisted and officer force structure. He knows me, but doesn't know my entire life story. This can be beneficial, because he can see a life decision in a different light than I can. He always has others best interest in mind, even if its not what they want to hear.
