Where firefighters come to talk training

THE MAN IN THE MIRROR

It is a fresh new year - full of hopes, dreams, and challenges. Many of us will use the new year as a launching pad for personal improvement and an opportunity to accomplish important goals. Maybe yours is to advance within your department, to finally run that extra mile, or simply lose a few pounds - whatever it is, it's a great time reevaluate and implement a new you!

However, change - real change - starts from within! Change your own attitude and outlook on life before expecting others to do the same. Because when you come right down to it, you are the only person you can change - but your actions will influence many others to follow.

Comment by Gary Gaffney on January 9, 2012 at 6:42pm: Great message Paul. Stay safe!

Comment by Ron Ayotte on January 9, 2012 at 6:16pm: Everybody said something had to be done.

Anybody could have done it.

Somebody should have stepped up to the plate.

In the end.. nobody did anything.. and the problems continued.

Change has to come from within.. it can start with one firefighter and grow departmentwide.

Comment by John K. Murphy on January 9, 2012 at 6:04pm: Well stated. Let's see what 2012 brings. After all, the Mayan calendar puts us OOS at the end of the year :-)
