How Bad do you Want It?
Something spiked my interest the other day. In Southern California, there is a predator on the loose (wishful thinking that it’s only one). This man has such a need to pounce on any unsuspecting prey that he cut off his ankle bracelet that held him “prisoner” and left the city where he lived. He drove a few hours away and began his hunt. Luckily, he has been unsuccessful in capturing what he’s after..so far.
Here’s the point. This predator has an incredible work ethic. He has shown great tenacity in reaching his goal of fulfilling the sick need he has as a predator. One could marvel that this is a trait that all predators have in common. The other day I mentioned that life is somewhat like a jungle; with hunters and hunted. In the real jungle, hunters are serious about hunting. It’s what they do. It’s what they are.
In the real world that you and I live in, we don’t have to accept the status quo that there are hunters and hunted. While it is true that there are predators that live among us; you and I don’t have to accept the role of the prey just because we are not the predator. Ok, I’m getting to a point here, really.
Look at the work ethic of the criminal. They don’t stop until they get what they want; even when they know the odds are against them and the stakes are high. What is your work ethic like? Do you do what it takes to make sure you are not simply laying in wait for your turn to become a victim?
This is a good question to ask yourself; because if you have read any of the statistics I have posted, you will see that crime is very high in our country. Shoot, in every country! With statistics as they are, most people would have to admit that their work ethic when it comes to personal safety is so low that they should be fired.
Well, you can’t be fired from your own life. It is up to you to acknowledge you have a poor work ethic and change that fact. The best way for you to do this, and to turn the tables on any predator that may want to target you, is to learn combat self defense. The hand to hand combat training that has been passed down through the years from our military is highly effective and made for anyone to use.
Combat self defense, as I have stated before, is something that everyone should learn. Even if you have training in martial arts, hand to hand combat training develops skills that will help you in the event that you are ever caught in a dangerous situation.
The bad guys out there are motivated. They will stop at nothing to find their target and they are good at what they do. You could say they are experts in their field. You too can be an expert in the field of your own personal safety. Take it seriously and it will have your back.
