Your mind is the most important tool you have. And your mindset will let you do everything better.
Today:
Back to basics: Mindset.
Mindset is the most important skill you can learn. You need to learn to be positive and that you can and will survive… and even win if it comes down to it.
In a violent encounter, you need to have your mind in the right place to win. In fact, it starts before you get into any encounter. What is your mindset? Are you in it to win it? Are you there to survive? Or do you mind avoiding the fight altogether?
If possible, have the mindset to avoid the fight. It is the only fight you can’t lose. Once in a physical altercation, anything could happen. Even people with no skill or training get lucky sometimes and when. You don’t want to depend on luck for your self-defense.
If you can’t avoid the fight, you have to have the mindset that you are going to win and get back to your family.
Winners go home, survivors go to the hospital, losers go to the morgue. Which do you want to be?
And you have to win all three aspects of the fight: The violent encounter itself, the phycological battle of what you did or didn’t do, and the criminal “justice” system. None of these are easy, but you need to be ready by getting your mindset right first.
You are going to win the violent encounter because you know what your mission is and why you are fighting. You are going to win the phycological battle because you have already thought about what you will and will not do or allow done to you and your family. You know your lines in the sand. And you are studying the legalities and politics of the use of force in your area so you can stay within the law.
Get your mind right and you can win any battle.

OUTLINE:
“I’m a Survivor” is BS. Don’t just survive… win.
“Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.”
Yes, but why does it have to be either or… how about we win the fight legally and avoid being tried by 12 and carried by 6. Just a thought.
Change your mindset in your life from either or, to both, or find another way.
Basic Mindset Talk:
- It can happen to you
- Use enough force
