The Power of Knowing Your Why!





It's the Little Things...
.
Everyone wants to pay attention and train the BIG Sexy things...
.
The a$$ kicking stuff...
.
The Hard Charger counter terrorism/active shooter stuff...
.
The 'disarming the pistol' stuff...
.
The Smash, Bang, Pow!! Stuff...
.
Yes, to be prepared and well rounded, you should train that stuff too...
.
But, that's not where the big gains are made (Sorry!)...
.
The BIG Gains are made from the Little Things...
.
A bunch of them...
.
Attitude, Awareness, Influence, Planning, Prevention...
.
One of the Biggest Small thing is...
.
You gotta show up!
.
Consistently!
.
And with the right perspective!
.
What's that perspective?
.
Ironically, we talked about it in today's interview...
.
The most powerful mindset is when you are seeing the bigger picture...
.
When you know your "WHY."
.
And it's a good Why...
.
One that is not just about you!
.
Something bigger than you!
.
Doing things for your kids, your significant other, your family, your peeps, your students, your community, your country, your unit, your partner, your employees, your clients...

This idea of protecting the life of someone other than yourself can get you through way more things than you'd probably get through if you are thinking small.
.
Thinking like a protector makes you tougher, more resourceful, more successful than only thinking about yourself.

Keep going,
~Craig

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

What's Your Rosebud?

  One of my favorite classic movies is: "Citizen Kane" It starred Orson Welles. [NOTE: spoiler ahead - if you haven't seen it] And, was about the life and legacy of a powerful newspaper publisher, based partly on the late William Randolph Hearst. The movie starts with Charles Foster Kane dying, with his last word being "Rosebud" — and the entire movie is this sort of question of what "Rosebud" is. Turns out it was simply the trade name of a cheap little sled on which Kane was playing on the day he was taken away from his home and his mother as a child. Welles revealed in an interview: "In his subconscious it represented the simplicity, the comfort, above all the lack of responsibility in his home, and also it stood for his mother's love which Kane never lost." The point? We All Have Our Rosebud That thing, moment, or whatever it is that anchors, drives, guides, or inspires you.  For example, the late Johnny Carson and the book of magic tr

You'll Never Guess What This Parrot Said!

  The Parrot Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. . The first said,  "I built a big house for our Mother." . The second said, " I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." . The third smiled and said,  "I've got you, both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a Monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $5,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it." . Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Dearest First Son,"  she wrote the first son,  "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but have to clean the whole house." . " Dearest Second Son,"  she wrote to another,  "I am t
