A Thought For Today

We have been given the freedom as humans to be self reliant, but with that freedom there also comes a great responsibility. You can choose to strive to excel and allow yourself to be forged in the fire of excellence, or you can accept mediocrity and complacency as your standard. In one’s journey of martial pursuits and combat systems, you will learn quickly that today’s preparation will most certainly insure tomorrow’s success. If you are the head of your family, you have a responsibility to train your family to defend themselves so that you all will prevail when a conflict seeks you out, because those who love, trust, respect, ad look to you for leadership will also be relying on you for their security and safety when times of trouble arise. In order to do this effectively, everyone will need to test themselves daily so that everyone's limits will become self evident, and then you all will need to push the training envelope to expand those limits to the maximum, because the once safe nation that Americans enjoyed a half a century ago has exited the building never to return.

Life is too short, and too important of a gift to think that you are good enough without any established proof, or to rely on the notion that you will survive this dangerous world because you are just that lucky. As the old expression goes, the harder you work the 'luckier' you will become. Start increasing your luck today.
