I really needed this. My mom just passed in a tragic car accident. I'm not going to get stuck on the X. I will lead myself and others.

Thank you for this!

I’m paralyzed but the happiest I’ve ever been! My spine is fused from T4 to L2 which is basically my whole back, with chronic pain. Multiple spinal surgeries also revealed tethered cord syndrome. I was prescribed fentanyl and oxycodone for 11 years, no savings, can’t work because my pain is too distracting. I began to simply saying allowed “I’m grateful for my eyesight etc. I just said all kinds of things I notice I do have and my life changed. I tried walking again, I used a walker and kept trying every day. “Move it or lose it” kept repeating in my head. While my life and my attitude was drastically improving I finally got approved for disability insurance, I bought a huge motorhome bus, rescued a dog. I now walk over a mile with just a cane every day! I’ve been traveling at my pace for 2.5 years now and I haven’t taken any opiates for 3 years! I meditate, eat healthy and enjoy the freedom of exploring with my doggie, “Tigger” he’s 6.9lbs with a brindle coat with tiger stripes! Counting what we do have replaces what we don’t have! Never give up!

If you’re reading this, I'm happy you’re alive. I’m happy that we all get to experience this life together. It gets hard. It makes you question your purpose. You may even think that the world is better off without you. But you saw my comment for a reason. This is your sign to keep pushing, because I know you were looking for one. Your existence matters. Keep going on your journey. It doesn’t end here❤

He is the first one who answered a question I've long wondered about. When someone asks "How are you doing?" and you have had difficult times....Do you answer how you feel or answer what they want to hear. The answer is all about where your mind is taking you. I'm doing great.

25:40 " your welcome" That is a soldier with a good sense of humor. He makes this country great.

“If you don’t mind, it don’t matter” Love that you name the modern American victimhood and lack of Leadership is amazingly apt!

For the heroes that put their life on the line every single day for our country we need to support them

[k.c.]

I want to thank you for severing our country, and allowing me to say what I want to say and when I say it, thank you.

This came at the moment I needed to remind me that I am my own hero. Beautifully put with the framework of survival skills. I have my own ambush battle story with Breast cancer that has changed my life immensely with my own leadership skills and experience most importantly the choice to live a better life and help others where I can.

Great interview! I used to teach a class as a corporate trainer called "Dealing with Difficult People." The first thing I would say is that the ONLY person who you can change so if you came here to learn how to change all the difficult people in your life you have come to the wrong class.

[karenherbert]

Wow!! Jason shares incredible stories and lessons he has learned in an interesting yet humble way! I am in awe of his strength of mind, positivity and resilience!! So much wisdom he has to offer. Just awesome, thank you!!

[keithhubbard]

I came from a family that served as well. And while I have been told on many occasions not to thank a man for "doing his job". I feel like they would see this cituation is different. Thank you sir for your service. I am sorry that you went through all of the stuff you did. I have to say. This message you shared is incredible. I believe if everyone was able to listen to this the world as a whole would be a better place. It is indeviduals such as yourself that Inspire others to rise up and to not crumble. May your spirit stay as high as it is for ever. I truly hope your message reaches everyone that is struggling in their head and their heart. Thank you again.

[christinamurley]

Jason Redmond definitely made an impact on me and he is so inspiring. Great interview

[WellnessGardenToolShed]

Victimhood is a trend right now. I wish people would empower themselves. It's the best feeling to be underestimated and prove to yourself, you're not what people think you are. You are, what you think you are. What a humble and inspiring man and interview. 🙏😊💚

[peacepoet]

This old saying came back to me when he said he was looking for a point man. That two minds are better than one. Seeing the mistakes are better spotted by the second person. We seldom see our own flaws in our own thinking and need that second person and maybe more to find a solution to the problem.

This marine guy is such a unique human being.🤔
