Giving & Receiving

I don't know about you, but this time of year is both cool and crazy! I'm taking a breather from getting ready for Christmas while I write you a quick note.

Yesterday was a s#*t show thanks to my (now former) health insurance agent who totally dropped the ball on my insurance and left me in a really precarious position to figure things out for myself. 

For Christmas I'd send you (former insurance agent) a coupon for a FREE Krav Lesson, but I'll let Life take care of that for you. 

You reap what you sow brother... 

...Be careful what your sowing!!

Anyway, after spending the entire day scrambling to figure things out... Talking to multiple insurance companies, faxing, figuring and basically driving blind, I (think) I got things squared away. 

I'd REALLY love to let the cat out of the bag as to who this 'delta bravo' insurance agent is...but I won't...

I will, however tell you who stepped in to help....

I want to give a Big Thanks to Chad Creasy of RCB & Associates for helping me navigate through the storm of paperwork, deadlines and confusion to get back on track! 

Chad didn't have to help me... He got zero commission for it.  

He didn't have to take the time to offer me assistance... 

But he DID! 

...and I can't say how much I appreciate it (...well, I guess I just did!)

If you need help w/your health insurance, he's your man! I'll be using him from this point forward. 

After I got the situation taken care of, it reminded me of a few of things...



(1) You have the opportunity to use your PeaceWalker skills every day! (...especially yesterday for me!)

(2) Yes, there are some real a**holes out there... (some even dangerous...). However...

(3) There are people that will help you even when they don't have to. 

(4) When it comes to giving and receiving... You'll eventually get back what you put out. So...

(5) Be mindful of what you're giving!


Thank YOU for All You Have Given Me!

If you are reading this, you've touched my life in some way.

Thanks...

I want you to know that I appreciate it... 

I appreciate you...

Thank you for being part of my journey...

Thank you for helping me along my path in some small and not so small ways...

You see, I believe that we are all connected in some way...

The Good...

The Bad...

and yes, The Ugly!

It's all part of Life...

Mine, Yours, Everyone's...

I hope you had a good 2017?! 

And...

I hope you find more than you were looking for in 2018!!

It's there waiting for you to discover...

All of it... 

So in the words of Jocko Willink...

Go Get Some! 

Go out and tell those people who mean something to you that you appreciate them and... 


Go Sow Some Goodness...

I hope you see your True Identity as a Protector...

As a PeaceWalker...

Claim it...

Embrace it...

LIVE IT!!

Go out and Protect the Right Things! 

And help others do the same!


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 

Keep Going,
~Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
