  It’s getting closer! The anticipation grows… The dark, foreboding day when all of the ogglie boogilies come out… And we Trick or Treated. You know… Election Day! =) (Hahaha! Don’t be afraid, get out there and cast your vote confidently, like Hermione casts her spells…) Many Walk in Fear That’s why… "WE TRAIN SO WE CAN WALK IN PEACE..." ~Imi Lichtenfeld   Conflict & violence is an Event and a Process. The more you can recognize the process, the easier it is to avoid & navigate an Event! Yes, there are places and situations where crime, conflict and violence are more prevalent, but make no mistake... It can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. It can happen to you too, so you have to be prepared. Awareanoid?! Being paranoid is no way to Live. However… AWAREANOID  is a constant state of readiness. It’s North of aware and South of paranoid. =) Don’t over think it… It’s simply being curious and prepared to do something about it. If you want to be able to avoid a situ...

  The moment that you choose to  LEAD… is the moment that you became a  THREAT  to the  ENEMY The enemy doesn’t want you to succeed. The enemy doesn’t want you to lead. The enemy knows that if you become a better  LEADER  you will create a  BIGGER IMPACT. And because the enemy knows that, they’re going to throw everything they have at you to stop you from doing whatever you need to do to  GROW. It happens to me all the time. Whenever I put an event together the  ENEMY  wants to  SABOTAGE  my growth. That’s when I say, “Not today fella, NOT TODAY!” That way I can break the pattern and  CHOOSE TO LEAD. Choose to do my best. Choose to BE MY BEST! And what’s our biggest Enemy?! FEAR Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of others. Fear of less. Fear of loss. Fear of never. Fear. Fear. Fear. What are you doing to deal with your biggest enemy?! Well… This  Friday, Nov. 1st , is the last day for you to take advanta...

  The Way Of, Not the Way To… I received a text early this morning from a PeaceWalker Inner Circle Member. No emergency, he was just reaching out to connect and share some good words on the recent Path Notes Newsletter he just got in the mail. He said: Buyu brother, For last night’s class, the reflection was about fear and courage. THEN, this morning I read the newest Path Notes - which speaks eloquently about fear, “Great minds think alike?” Maybe, nonetheless, you nailed it once again. Thank you! I told him it was great hearing from him and sharing the path. He went on to say, One of the false narratives in my head (another topic you touched on in the newsletter) has been that I am all alone. It was never true, but that thought was buzzing around in my head for too often. It’s marvelous to find that others, like yourself, are on the same path and I’m not alone. To which I replied, Amen brother! You are not the only one who feels that way. (I’m) so glad you’re a part of this commu...

  Prepared For What’s Next? Israel’s approach to defense is that they are always preparing for what the  next thing  is. Through their intelligence gathering abilities, they typically have a pretty good idea of what’s going to go down next. So, how something like Oct. 7th ‘slipped through the cracks’ is beyond me. A great example of their ability to not only anticipate threats but come up with solutions before they arise is the development of the Iron Dome. Years before missile & drone attacks became frequent, Israel was already developing the Iron Dome system to intercept rockets (& drones) in mid-air. Critics said it was unnecessary at the time, but when the threats escalated, Israel didn’t scramble to respond—they were ready. The Iron Dome was already up and running, saving lives and protecting the country in real-time. Amazing really. As you know it’s being used in the war today. They haven’t stopped there though… They have newer technology like David’s Sling ...
