In this TED talk, Tony Robbins addresses why people do what they do. He expresses many ideas to aid individuals to be better at what they desire to do or accomplish. Tony discusses how decisions are the ultimate power. Decisions are what shape your destiny and the world in which you see and live in. Your ability to be resourceful is your defining factor not the resources available or not available. He states there are six human needs that every individual needs.

First, certainty versus uncertainty, is a big role in my world. Having been prior active duty, there was a lot of certainty within the office, but a lot of uncertainty in the field.

In the field, I had to do it all not knowing what the enemy was doing or if I was going to get ambushed at any point in time. With that being said, I became very uncertain about a lot of things, to include my life. I had to relearn that bad things were going to happen and there was nothing I could do to stop it, especially in the field. I had to take the chances afforded to me and experience the culture of the deployed locations and pray that I would live to see another day. While I am still scared of the uncertain, and due to conditions associated with the uncertain, I have tried to become a more prominent member of society and do what I can within my means and reason. I like to have a variety of experiences in life. I want to be able to experience all those wonderful feelings with my family and future career. I like being able to look forward, instead of behind me, and seeing the light at the end of this particular journey. While I do not know how it will end, I can anticipate that I will succeed in my educational journey and looking for a new career. When that happens, another journey will begin for me and I will, hopefully, have the same positive anticipation for that journey, whatever it might
