A Goal to Serve

November 25th, 2009

Here we are 2 weeks past from one of the most important days of recognition on our calendar—Veteran’s Day.  Just celebrating my 50th birthday and having my son, Capt. Elliott B. Lushin, USMC make a special visit to attend, it caused me to pause and take stalk of what my son and other Naval Aviators have undergone to be gladiators of the skies.  I have never encountered a more dedicated and committed group of Naval and Marine Corp Officers than the ones that trains and serves alongside my son.  During the last 4-four years, I have attended Officer Commissioning Ceremonies, Flight School Graduations and Winging Ceremonies.  With each milestone along my son’s path I have met the best of the best that the Navy and Marine Corp can offer.  And in what I have been able to observe from our Country’s Fighter Pilots, they have a long standing history of focus and setting goals.

Think about what you think about.  Are you focused? Do you have goals that will push you through today’s economic adversity?  Take a lesson from the young men and women who serve in our military and make a Goal to Serve. When we serve others, we also serve ourselves.  My son who is making a difference while serving in the Marine Corp as an F/A 18 pilot, will simultaneously serve this country while at the same time have a personal experience that will last a lifetime.  In my business, I have made a goal to serve and to make a difference.  It is my personal values that say, “Mission over Money!”  Therefore I challenge you to make a goal to serve, to make a difference in your business and the people you are in connection with and you will have an experience and memories that will last a life time.
