Death & Indecision


 

The other night I was driving home after a great day of training at the academy. It's dark and I'm chatting w/Jenn as I made my way down a side street. I was on my hands free Bluetooth in my car, so I could respond better to the road (love that thing!). 


It's getting darker earlier, so the streetlights are on down the side street I was taking to the expressway. Suddenly my headlight shine on a furry critter slowly running right in front of me. It's a rabbit. It freezes for a moment as it stared at me, then bolts in one direction. I see this and steering my car slightly to the other side of it trying not to hit it (or a parked car that lined the street too!).

But at the last second, it abruptly changes its mind and direction, veering the other way. The way I veered in avoidance. I didn't have time to redirect my vehicle again to compensate for the rabbits indecision.  

THUD...

"Sh*t..." I say, knowing all to well what that sound means.

"What?" Jenn says over the phone.

"I just hit this rabbit..." I say, a little sad.


Luck, Fate Indecision & Death

Just like Life..

There are consequences to indecision and on this night, the rabbit paid the ultimate price for his.

Apparently his four rabbits feet didn't help. 

Choices... 

Tactical decisions happen very much like this too. Fractions of seconds count. You choose this way you live. That way.... Not so much. 

With some good training hopefully you have less indecision. Hopefully you make better choices!

They say luck favors the prepared...

Being prepared begins with the right mindset. The right training. 

Being prepared is a lot like working out. It's something you have to continue to work on. It's easy to  become complaciant. 

And don't get me wrong, even with being prepared you can still have a bad day. Fate still may not be on your side...

But I don't worry about that. That's beyond my pay grade... I focus on what I CAN control and live my Life powerfully, rather than fearfully. 

Are You Prepared?!

If you want to be more prepared for the conflicts? 

Are you prepared to Live a safer, more confident Life?!

If you are, than join me in my free home study course. I'll share with you a proven methodology that I have been teaching literally thousands of people over the past several decades. An approach that can change your Life... Maybe even save it. 

Don't Be Like that Rabbit?!

Yeah...

Indecisive and unlucky! 



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
