Consider that looking for a GLOBAL MINDSET is achieved through looking at common PRINCIPLES that we as humans share. Many would label this an impossible task referencing PRINCIPLES as subjective and culturally specific.
Our premise is that certain PRINCIPLES are shared and are not subjective. This common ground actually is the genesis of creating a GLOBAL MINDSET.
One PRINCIPLE borrowed from physics is the PRINCIPLE of GRAVITY.
GRAVITY is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. Google
Defy gravity at 50,000.’ By jumping out of an airplane without a parachute we see that all people everywhere would have a similar experience. GRAVITY is a shared PRINCIPLE.
A GLOBAL MINDSET starting with what we share in common is powerful and can build an understanding that we are in fact very much alike in more ways than we are different. Yet, how? Where can we look for anything similar that we can start from? The answer to bringing us together we propose might be found inside the world of conflict, struggle and even battle!
Successful Warriors share a GLOBAL MINDSET. Application in battle either works or it doesn’t. Success is accomplished in any conflict through application of PRINCIPLES, and we are living proof that these PRINCIPLES work. Think about it…If we are living and breathing on this earth today it’s because our ancestors survived long enough to have offspring and in turn they had children and so on. Our skills at dealing with conflict in the real, physical world are proof the PRINCIPLES our ancestors used worked. Period.
The word PRINCIPLE may conjure up visions of morality, viewpoints of differing cultures, or even spiritual beliefs of what is good and what is bad. To have a GLOBAL MINDSET using PRINCIPLES is to recognize that shared PRINCIPLES of dealing with conflict do in fact exist, and have nothing to do with subjective viewpoints. Therefore, by their very nature these PRINCIPLES are GLOBAL...
What if I said you could live an extra 10 years of life by learning how to escape a choke hold? What we are saying is exactly that. The time available to be saved is real. The time wasted in conflict is real and each moment we use the PRINCIPLES of Life Defense we add minutes, hours and days to our lives !
This is a GLOBAL MINDSET that actually works in the real world saving life each day!
In closing, we acknowledge that we are all different in many ways, and might never understand each other fully. However, a GLOBAL MINDSET based on PRINCIPLES of conflict and a common language of Life Defense creates the possibility of everything. Including life!
