17 Nov A Veteran’s Project
“We’re all just becoming amalgamations of our self-help books and motivational posters.” A simple, yet profound quote on existence from a man who found the true value and meaning of looking inward. The quintessential, quick-fix culture is one that at best designs adversity to create some sense of struggle or at its worst simply flees from it. Micah Fink is here to combat that ideology. Adversity has long been intertwined with Micah’s path and through the course of that odyssey, Fink would tell you some of his most visceral, painful experiences have led to his greatest moments of growth. Why is it that we then run from that idea? We see countless examples of those who’ve experienced the most extensive adversities going on to become the most successful entrepreneurs, non-profit presidents, philanthropists, corporate leaders, etc… Yet, the wind stream of society continues to placate us with ideas of comfort and relaxation. Is this a technique forged by some elite, carnal structure to create a somnambulant society? Possibly… and Micah might or might not make that argument. Regardless, his success as both an elite member of our nation’s Navy SEALs, and as the Founder of his non-profit, Heroes & Horses is hard to argue with.
