When I was 24, I was a CPA and MBA student who wanted to become a Navy SEAL. But I wondered: Could I throw it all away for a dangerous career?

The Navy required a six-year responsibility regardless of whether I wasn't acknowledged into the SEALs — which is famously troublesome. Whenever I imparted those worries to my coach, Jeff Schafer, he asked how old I would be toward the finish of the responsibility. Then, at that point, he inquired: "Could you rather be a 30-year-old Navy SEAL or a 30-year-old CPA? Since one way or another, you'll in any case be 30 out of six years." With that viewpoint, I took the plunge and had a long profession as a SEAL.

Regardless of what amount of time it requires to arrive at your objective — or how alarming and troublesome it appears — that time will elapse in any case.
