The Three Magi: The Sage Commander

Dr. Gabor Mate, Mr. (David) Goggins and Mr. Gavin de Becker). 
What do these men have in common? 
Other than forced alliteration on my part, they all had close encounters with death, much too early. Incredible, unimaginable life events of the horrific kind, exploded their awakening as a child.
Yet, they have all triumphed: conquered and overcome. 
I want that. 

Thich Nhat Hanh said, it’s not enough to overcome, we have to be able to touch peace and joy.
What motivate these men to give back to humanity? 
The answer they provide are not easy, nor attractive.  But they all called me to rise up.   

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

These men carved that road with a machete, should you desire to enter through the narrow gate.
