Start Where You're At


 


I hope that you had a good New Year Celebration regardless if it was quiet like mine or loud and proud... bold and crazy... 


Regardless, I hope it was safe and something you enjoyed it w/the people you care about. 

And now hopefully you're RARE'N to start your... New Year w/a BANG!

Words of Advice on Resolutions

I'm not a big fan really. 

I am, however a big fan of looking back over the year to see what was working, and what wasn't. What I want more of and what I want less of. 

It's not only about goal though...

You should be dialing in what type of life you're creating... 

What type of a person are you becoming?!

Are you happy with where you're life is going?


You May Think Me Strange...


That at 52 I'd say what type of person I'm becoming...

Many would believe that by that age we have already became the person who we are and in certain respects I'd agree, however in many other aspects I wouldn't...

Make no mistake, we are always developing, always progressing or regressing, always changing...

And I want to make sure that I evaluate where I am and where I want to be... Who I am and who I want to become...

To make sure I'm doing the things necessary to support my decision and goals.

Simple, not Easy...


Start Where You're At...


Remember that this journey is a marathon and at times a sprint...

But it is a long journey, so you have to make sure whatever you do is sustainable. 

Make sure that the suck you have to embrace, no matter how large or small is worth it!


Time is a limited resource...


Remember how fast this past decade went?

The next 10 will go even faster! 

Make sure that the Juice is Worth the Squeeze in everything you set out to do!

Re-Evaluate Your Everything!

It's good to finish what you start...

But it's better to evaluate, re-evaluate and keep checking in to make sure where you're wanting to go still makes sense.

Things change and you should too! 

Relationships, careers, identities, activities, needs, health, responsibilities, pretty much everything!

Keep up and keep evolving!

It's ok to change...

The New Year can be a good time to reflect, re-evaluate and make a plan to move forward in a direction that give you more of what you want and less of what you don't!

Make sure you are enjoying the journey! As we have both experienced, it goes fast!

You Don't Live In a Bubble...

We are constantly dealing with other people, and with people comes conflict...

So if you want to be more successful in the next year, learn how to deal with that conflict better!

Gain a new sense of clarity and confidence when it comes to protecting yourself and others.

It will help you get more of what you want and less of what you don't!

So..

Happy New Year! 


Make it the best year ever!!

Keep going,

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

Attracting An Assault?!

  I thought I'd share something interesting about how criminals, predator's, thugs and bullies profile their victims.  Remember I told you the other day, that I was listening to one of Jocko Willink's podcasts?  He was talking about this subject and refenced some research old and newer.  ~ The 1982 study  Attracting Assault: Victims' Nonverbal Cues  by Grayson / Stein ~Marked by Mayhem -  Psychology Today by Hustmyre & Dixit, 1/1/09 Well, I revisited that research and something interesting stuck out like a fart in study hall. Something we talk about all the time at the academy and when I teach seminars and workshops.  Organization. As in being in Kamae. What?! You know being wholistically organized. Here's what Grayson and Stein had to say (paraphrased): The prime difference between perceived victim and non-victim groups revolves around "wholeness" or consistency of movement. Non-victims have an organized quality about their movements. They function co

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
