Don't Be Paul



Late Again!?


Poor Paul--he's always late.

Because he was late for work, he missed out on an invitation to go to the game with his friend Bob.

He also missed out on the chance to meet new girls his age.

Late returning from lunch, he lost time because he forgot to take his shirts to the dry cleaner.

This made him late for an important meeting after lunch with the boss.

He took too long talking to his Mom on his cell phone.

He needed to borrow money again.

Paul told his Mom that he was ready to start getting serious about his financial future once and for all.

She told Paul he should wait.

Each time Paul is late, he misses out on something.

He tells himself he won't be late again, but guess what?

The next morning he wakes up late again.

Don't be a Paul.


Just Think...

If Paul was supposed to have your back on a military or police operation. Or he was a EMT, nurse or doctor. Being late might cost a Life! 

I understand in the real, every day world, sometimes we're running a bit behind... I know I do sometimes, but don't make it a habit... And don't be late for the important things. It's part of having 'good basics'. 

Be on time, be consistent. Showing up is 80% of the battle. If you're not there, it doesn't really matter how good you are. 

Fashionably late is still late... Just ask most military guys, they'll tell you... Some even say, "showing up on time is late!"


M'as?!

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 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
