A mantra of Life Defense is, \\u201cWhat we PREVENT never happens\\u2026\\u201d We will explore PREVENT in the world of self-defense and Life Defense this week and how this simple yet effective PRINCIPLE of Life Defense works.

\\n

In self-defense much is said and trained as PREVENTION. In fact, one of the most effective techniques of self-defense is to PREVENT something before it happens. Hence the saying, \\u201cWhat we PREVENT never happens.\\u201d If you stay close to well lit, well patrolled areas of town, hanging with sober, long time, trusted friends, in groups, returning home before 10pm, to sleep behind dead-bolted doors, in a security enhanced neighborhood, activating your alarm system before retiring to bed with Rover (a 130 lb. Rottweiler) sleeping at your side you may have PREVENTED much of what could happen in the way of attack. And sweet dreams of choke holds you will be working on in Jiujitsu class in the morning flood your peaceful dreams to wake another day.

\\n

This all makes sense right? However, in this segment of Life Defense we will address the other side of PREVENTION. What do we PREVENT form happening that enhances our life? \\u201cI can\\u2019t do X, I\\u2019m never going to try Y and Z is something I\\u2019ve always wanted to learn but\\u2026\\u201d

\\n

In a life full of possibility what do you PREVENT, that you actually desire, from ever happening? The first words that come out of your mouth may be, \\u201cI would but\\u2026\\u201d In these 3 fatal words possibility comes to a screeching stop and life is lost.

\\n

We actually first create our future by speaking it into existence. \\u201cI\\u2019ve always wanted to play the guitar, but I don\\u2019t have the time, money or a guitar to even start.\\u201d

\\n

When I hear that I hand my trusty six string to the unsuspecting PREVENTION machine and say, \\u201cStrum\\u2026 run your hands across the stings and strum!\\u201d Once they get past about 10 more objections they finally relent and \\u201cK-BONG!\\u201d they are playing. Now, I say to the unsuspecting future guitar hero, all you need to do is practice!

\\n

In life we speak, or don\\u2019t speak everything into existence. So speak, and do. It\\u2019s truly that simple. Say \\u201cYes\\u201d much more than \\u201cNo\\u201d and then act, do and be. Because what we PREVENT in life never happens. PREVENT.
