The Mission


 

There's a Rush song from their 1987 album, Hold Your Fire called Mission.


The song itself isn't my favorite, it's alright, but the lyrics are profound:

"Hold your fire
Keep it burning bright
Hold the flame
'Til the dream ignites
A spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission"

Prolific Mission?!

In a podcast that I haven't released yet, I talk about prolific stories, namely YOUR prolific story. Well, within any prolific story lays a MISSION! 

So, I ask you, what is YOUR Mission behind your prolific story?

Within a lifetime you will have many missions... but that's not exactly what I'm talking about. 

I'm talking about the Mission that underlies Your Prolific Story. 

What is THAT?

Do you have one?

Did you have one that you buried or put on a shelf? 

Are you still searching?

Or given up on it?

Or, maybe you don't believe in it at all?

I can't answer that for you...

I CAN tell you that I have a mission and although it's sometimes scary, frustration, or confusing following the breadcrumb path, it has been rewarding beyond words.

How about you?!

Maybe you're on it.

Maybe you're not.

Maybe you are, but you just don't see it... Yet!


"When I feel the powerful visions
Their fire has made alive
I wish I had that instinct
I wish I had that drive"


Focusing In...

Focusing in on your mission is important. 

Too many people are too distracted today.

Is it possible to have more than one mission?

Possibly. 

It could change throughout your life.

It could be your family. 

Or career.

It could be something deeper yet...

It could be that calling inside of you that you can't ignore any more... 

Or has been there from the beginning. 


You Probably Already Guessed

I am one of the lucky ones who lives their mission every day. I feel so fortunate to be able to do what I was called to do full time.  

Helping and Serving people like you. Helping so many to achieve their Mission. Helping you to write your own Prolific Stories. Helping people like you and your family get home safe. Be more successful at your job. Experience deeper more meaningful relationships. Have less regrets. Cultivate more fulfilling Lives. Live more prolifically!

I know what you may be thinking...

REALLY?! That's what all of this stuff does?

And then there are those of you in our community who are nodding your heads right now. 

Why?!

Because they know the truth and power of what these skills and this community can do for you. 


No Matter Your Mission

It doesn't matter what you do, you're going to run into conflict. 

The more skills you have to navigate those conflicts, the easier you'll achieve whatever your Mission is, no matter how large or small.

And that's a fact Jack!

I Want to Help You Achieve Your Mission!

So here's my invitation to you...

Check out my Free Six Day Defense Course. It'll help you on your mission, whatever it may be!




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
