The Benefits of Procrastination



Remember what Patrick Swazye's surfer guru character, Bodhi said to Keanu Reeves in the 1991 movie classic, Point Break? 

 "Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true."

That can be true especially in situations that are critical,m when you don't have the luxury of time on your side.... Like a physical self defense situation or a verbal debate. 

The Power....

But, one thing that hesitation and procrastination does give you is...

Power!

Yes, one of the powers of procrastination is that if you're paying attention, it will tell you that you are either just being lazy... or there is something inside of that waiting, that you are afraid of. 

That's alright, but you may want to lean in and explore that a bit to find out what that is. 

If you can get to the bottom of that, it will give you the opportunity for growth...
And that my friend, will bring you into a greater place of power! 

 
Don't Play Small...

Speaking of hesitation and procrastination...

This virus situation has got me digging, thinking, plotting... 

All of the emotions and drama that have surrounded this situation, along w/some of the solitary confinement, will bear fruit!

I have not let this time go to waste!

One thing I'm getting out of all of this is that I realize I have been procrastinating on some things...

That hesitation has caused me to think. 

My perspective is changing...

There are a couple things regarding PeaceWalker that  I have been wanting to do... But I just needed to 'grow a pair', so to speak and...

Quit Living Small! 

And you should too! 

  
What Are You Hesitating On?'

If you stick around, in the not so distant future, I'll let the cat out of the bag as to what big, world changing things I'm planning with PeaceWalker... Things that you're a part of and will benefit from...

But in the mean time...

Now's a good time to take a good look at yourself and see what's holding you back!? What are you hesitating on? What is that procrastination telling you!?

Really dive into that and when you come out the other end, you'll be better because of it! 


Keep going,
~Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

  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 simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
