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

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...
