As a self-defense instructor, and Life Defense coach, we see many options to CREATE in direct conflict. Take any circumstance of attack and an infinite number of actions CREATE how the scenario plays out.

Example, someone comes up behind you, and slips their arm around your neck. Without thinking, your self-defense instinct kicks in and you do a Reactive Hip Out circling behind the assumed attacker\u2019s grasp, and just before you break their knee with a powerful Muy Thai style kick, you recognize it\u2019s your old Uncle Fred giving you an arm around the shoulder friendly greeting. As we enter the holidays people do this sort of thing\u2026

In an instant we go from CREATING a life saving self-defense encounter to apologizing to poor Uncle Fred as you see the terror in his eyes after you retract your shin from his knee. Now you\u2019ll spend the next few hours listening to your uncle\u2019s near death encounter.

As anyone can see, the outcomes of this event could have been quite different if we had followed through, and broke poor Uncle Fred\u2019s knee. We CREATED a safe outcome from what we had previously thought an attack.

In self-defense there are countless options, and outcomes for every type of attack. Life also gives us countless options to every encounter imaginable, and many unexpected as well. We train our bodies, and our minds to react to certain stimuli constantly each and every day, and yet there are possibly infinite ways of dealing with the multiple scenarios of life.

It is this time of year that we encourage our participants to visualize what they want to CREATE for the expected and unexpected events in their upcoming year. True that an \u201cUncle Fred\u201d may surprise you, and you may want to adjust your reaction when that happens. Yet, as you CREATE your life with each interaction consider thoughtfully, intentionally CREATING what you want your life to be.

You see, life is a CREATION, although people interact in that CREATION, you still get to CREATE outcomes, and meaning. Don\u2019t wait till 11:59pm December 31st to CREATE your life. Consider doing it now, because you are in charge, you CREATE meaning, and you CREATE your life. CREATE!
