This can serve as a mission statement for the blog, and it's my mission statement for my life.
I am a realist. Some people have their own interpretation of this word and will convince you that a realist is a pessimist. This is simply not the case. A realist is someone who plans for the worst, and hopes for the best. I live every day of my life this way and I try to instill this value in my wife and kids. I don’t wish to make them negative or cast a doubtful eye on the world around them, simply just ensure they are prepared for failures and can keep moving forward, no matter how large the obstacle is that they face.
Failures are inevitable.
People will fail you, steal from you, lie to you, and leave you out to
dry when you need a hand the most. Events
will fail, your body will fail, and even your mind will fail. This is a fact. However, there will always be someone else
right there to help you succeed, replace what is stolen and truly be a member
of your “team”. It is these types of
people that you need to surround yourself with, and this is the kind of person
that you need to be for them. Steel
yourself against these inevitable failures by adequately planning and preparing
your body, your mind and all other parts of your life to succeed in the face of
inevitable failure. To, in other words,
survive.
I work in absolutes, and I believe, (like my wife and my
closest group of friends) that 100% of the life that you live is based on the
way you view your life. Positive
thoughts breed positive outcomes. If you
believe you will succeed you will. If
you doubt yourself or those around you and you believe they will fail, or fail
you, they will. I believe that “grey
areas” are few and very far between in life.
To be honest, they are almost completely non-existent. It either is, or
it is not.
So how does all this work together when I’m saying that you
are what you believe you are, but failures are inevitable? It is the ability to look past these failures,
the ability to plan for them, so they are mitigated before they ever
occur. If some(one/thing) does fail you,
a secondary COA (Course Of Action) is already in play, or can be initiated
immediately to avoid any potential fallout from the initial failure. Do not dwell on failures, accept them and
move on. No matter what, KEEP MOVING
FORWARD! Maintain a positive attitude and you will help the people around
you. We are all in this together. The pains and failures that you may feel are
also felt by those around you.
I want to share the things that I know, the skills that I
have learned, in the most fun and informative way possible. This is the whole reason for this
website. D.E.E.P. - Disaster and
Emergency Preparedness. It’s what I am,
not just something I do. F.A.S.T.
(Fitness, Adventure, Survival Skills and Training), these are the things that I
do, the things that make me prepared for disasters and emergencies, whether
these are internal or external conflicts that arise. Sharing the aspects of “F.A.S.T.” is what leads
to true “D.E.E.P.”. One cannot exist
without the other.
“Get DEEP, FAST and survive.”
