Lest We Forget: A Lesson from Vimy Ridge:

What History Teaches Us About Taking Action

 

Greetings on Remembrance Day 2025,

Have you ever wondered what it really takes to make a lasting mark on your own life, or even on history?

Today we remember the anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, a turning point in Canadian history. From April 9 to April 12, 1917, the Canadian Corps achieved what many thought was impossible: they captured a heavily fortified ridge in northern France, working together as one – for the very first time. Their victory wasn’t just about military success. It became a symbol of unity, determination, and national pride.

What does this have to do with you and me? Well, I see a powerful lesson in Vimy Ridge for anyone who’s ever wondered if they have what it takes to achieve something big. Whether it’s funding your next adventure, creating more time for yourself, or building a side income. The Canadians at Vimy didn’t wait for perfect conditions. They planned, learned from setbacks, and took action together. And that’s exactly what moves the needle in our own lives.

If you want a bit more inspiration, I recommend watching this short video about the battle: Vimy Ridge: Canada’s Coming of Age.

It’s a reminder that bold steps – taken even when things seem tough can lead to breakthroughs.
