I'm always confident that if I'm attempting something he would want for me that it will happen. Of course, everything doesn't always happen as I want it to. I just try to live according to God's will, but I don't always. It's me who's living my life and no other person can really know what I'm experiencing.So either way it goes, insha'allah, eh? I admit that this doesn't seem like a very useful metric for considering...well...anything to me. You've found it to be useful though, a good influence in your life. More power to you.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
