In the world of self-defense we constantly look at, or ANTICIPATE potential threats, create training scenarios, and make future decisions based on this ANTICIPATION. Let’s look at the comparison between how we ANTICIPATE conflict, in self-defense to create a safe outcome, and how we might ANTICIPATE creating productive outcomes in every part of our life using Life Defense.
The attacker rushes toward you lunging with a huge push meant to off-balance, surprise and intimidate you with almost certain fists to follow. Yet you have ANTICIPATED this common attack many, many times before and practiced this thousands of times in slow motion, building the myelin sheath around nerves that have increased your speed in response 500 times to that of an untrained defender.
Time slows down, calm, even, conflict breathing kicks in, and you step aside moving offline as the attacker stumbles headlong into a brick wall raising alarm as your voice alerts a group of onlookers who simultaneously start video and calling 911. As the attacker regains his balance he notices several of the crowd moving in behind you and scurries off to find an easier target to assault.
In essence the ANTICIPATION, followed by training has created an outcome of safety. What you ANTICIPATED, and then put you into action, created your future.
In life we too may ANTICIPATE scenarios such as the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, or a career path opportunity that may come available. However, ANTICIPATION is just that, ANTICIPATION.
Without the action, or training, there is predictable outcome also. It works both ways…Just like our defender we can predict, or ANTICIPATE the future outcome by the training focus or lack thereof.
We create our future. ANTICIPATION, with the action of training, is where we decide what that future will be.
ANTICIPATE, and train!
