Dr. David Hilmers is one of my heroes. We respect, honor, and love Dr. Hilmers. Some lives do not move in a straight line. They arc. They climb, break, turn, and then rise again in a direction no résumé can fully explain. Dr. David Hilmers has lived that kind of life. He was a Marine aviator. A NASA astronaut on four Space Shuttle missions. An engineer. A man who saw the Earth from the cold black silence of space and logged more than twenty days above it. By any ordinary telling, that would have been enough. More than enough. The kind of life that earns applause, headlines, and a comfortable place in memory. But there is another kind of greatness. Quieter. Harder. Less decorated. It doesn’t ask, “How far did you go?” It asks, “Whom did you serve once you got there?”That is where the story of David Hilmers becomes truly significant. Many define true significance as using your gifts to meaningfully improve the lives of others at scale. In Hilmers’ case, those are not just handsome words. They are the contour lines of a real life. He saw the whole Earth, and instead of marveling only at its beauty, he felt its pain. He looked down from orbit and began looking inward. And what he found there was not self-congratulation. It was a calling.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.
