Out of All of Our Differences...


 


Apples & Oranges...


We are wired to look for similarities and differences. 

And in today's day and age with the internet it is easy to surround ourselves with all things (and people) that are like us... 

And it doesn't stop there...

Algorithms are constantily filling your feed w/things that you would either like or things that'll stir you up! 

Amazon, youtube, netfix, etc show you things that the algorithms believe you would resonate with... 

Facebook will show you ads and videos that get you all lathered up...

And you know as well as I do, they do a pretty good job at both those things!

In a world that claims to champion diversity, we are more tribal than ever. 

In a time when we have more interaction than any time in history, we feel more isolated, lonely and dis-connected than ever. 

Our everyday life provides us with...

Too much information... 

Little knowledge...

And...

Rare wisdom.


How Different is Similar?

We are all very different...

It's easy to focus too much on those differences and forget that no matter how different we STILL have more similarities...

Or at least DEEPER Similarities. 

You've heard me say that we all have many identities, but our deepest are:

1) We are all humans
2) We are all protectors... We just have to make sure we are protecting the right things. 

Same holds true with conflict. 


You know I get hired by organizations from across the spectrum. Cops, teachers, military, medical, churches, corporations of all shapes and sizes. 

WHY?

Because of this ONE THING kids...

Once people understand that we yes of course we ARE different, but one of the major things we all have in common is that we all have to deal with people and with people comes conflict, so if you want the chance at being more successful in pretty much EVERYTHING that you do, get better at managing conflict! 

BEGINNING WITH YOURSELF!!

Yes, of course there are nuances that vary slightly...


However, the formula is the same!

Why?!

Because we are all human and we have similarities that run deeper than the differences! 

Once you know the formula, you can figure out the solution. 

Math works the same way on apples as it does oranges, yo!

You don't use a different kind of math on them do you!?

Well, same holds true for dealing with people, whether it's kicking some dude in the knads, or asking the right questions to influence and persuade someone. Once you know the recipe you can bake that cake! 

You're Probably Thinking...
 
This is where Craig is going to try to invite me on going to one of his courses or joining his membership or something like that...

And you'd be right. 

Why!?

I want you to have the Rosetta stone of not just for protecting yourself and your loved ones better, I want you to be more confident and successful at everything that you do...

And this membership and that retreat can help you to do that! 

How do I know?!

Because, it has for sooooooo many others! I've seen it time and time again on countless students over the years. 

So, let me personally invite you to join me in my flag ship program, the PeaceWalker Evolution Training Retreat. It is the speed pass to giving you the formula to be successful in knowing what to do when nice doesn't work. It's a unique bootcamp style course where I will take you step by step through the exact formula to confidently protecting yourself and dealing with conflict while leading a happier, more powerful life.

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
