Which State Was THE Most Critical To Win!?




For some reason I was thinking about elections and voting...

As you know, it's always been a battle within the states (and country) which way is it going to go? Red or Blue?!


Well, when we're talking about which was a state is going to go,  there is a state that's more important than any one of them... 

And this state we're talking about has everything to do with you and your life. I'm talking everything about your life: Your safety, your family, your success, happiness and fulfillment. 

This detail literally will make or break your entire Life!


Well, What Is It?!

The answer isn't democrat or republican. The answer isn't Michigan, Texas, California or Florida...

The answer is...

Your Emotional State! 

Yep, that's right, if you can't control your emotional state you're going to struggle with everything. 

We call it being Baseline.

If you aren't in control of your own emotions, you won't be able to control anything. Worse yet, you are easily controlled by someone or something other than you!

How do you like those apples son!?

No matter how much skill you think you have, none of it matters if you can't keep in control of your emotions. 

The Big Guy...

I told you I'd be unpacking some of what I learned at the Tony Robbins UPW Workshop, so here we go...

Early in the seminar Tony said something that profound and clear:

"The quality of your Life is equal to the quality of your emotions."

Not your money (although that has some importance there are plenty of rich people who are miserable, unhealthy and dead from suicide).

Not your relationships (yes those are vitally important, but if you can't control your emotions you are likely to have more regrets than healthy relationships.)

Not your belongings (obviously, things come and go through your life)

Your health is largely based on your emotional state. 

AND your ability to protect yourself and others is balanced on your ability to control your emotional state. 

If you can't control your Baseline, you won't be able to control pretty much anything! 

It was interesting that Robbins had us spend a great amount of time learning how to control our energy and in turn our emotional state. 

I found that interesting, because my PeaceWalker Training Programs work a lot on that same thing... Mind you, we have a different focus kind of. Maybe a better way of putting it is that we explore different environments to control our emotions, as our courses deal with external conflict...

HOWEVER!!!

If you can't control the conflicts inside of you, you will be at a huge disadvantage dealing with the conflicts that happen outside of you! 


So, The Big Take Away Is...

Learn how to control your emotional state. The better you are able to do that, the better you'll be at being a Protector, a PeaceWalker, a Mom, Dad, employee, business owner, cop, teacher, counselor, manager, or whatever else you choose to do in the human experience.

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
