We all misunderstand what happens during any type of communications.  The first misunderstanding is we always believe what we hear.  The ears are designed to only think what they hear are true.  However, you need to have another sense back up that notion.   That is how media dupes us all.  Nothing in the media is actually true, if you research it for facts. That is important to realize. True authentic communication first requires you to   Listen without judgement (listen not believing in order to free them up from their past so they can be present) Speak without drama (drama is uncommitted words that cause both people to lose interest and not be present) Get clarity (that means interrupt if you don't know what they are saying and to ask them to repeat what you said) Those three points are authentic communications

Quite a remarkable process to look up and find the definition of various words in order to communicate better.  Would be nice to have an agreed to definition so that we all can communicate appropriately.  Wouldn’t it. A man last named Cassette, said once, “As soon as certain words we all think are true are communicated the concrete melts into the abstract until none of us know what the hell we are talking about if we all do know the simple meaning of a word” Diversity the state or fact of being diverse; difference; unlikeness: Equity the quality of being fair or impartial; fairness; impartiality: Inclusion the act of including. The fun part is that old dictionaries, hard bound ones, have simple definitions.  The internet (which we now all use) has very new ones.  Wonder why they are new.  So I looked into the dates the words were redefined. In 2009 -16, these three words were redefined 5 times, on the internet under the dictionary website.  In 2021 they were changed again. If rules and definitions of exact terms can change without us noticing, without anyone calling bullshit or wanting to clarify the new meaning in day to day life we are all stuffed. If someone changed the definition of a mile from 5280 feet to 5000 because the deem it better.  I want you to let that sink in.  if the masses or a leader can redefine basics without your consent or understanding than we are all stuffed. If over night you lost 280 feet of your land and had to concede what would you do?

11 Lost Lessons worth remembering on September 11th   The enemy of a republic always is lurking Better to stay up than to fight you way back up The Love for family, country, and your swim buddy will ultimately defeat someone who hates you Freedom earned through effort is always lost by the ones who live in it Offense is always better that defense or kneeling in fear No one ever said they practiced too much or trained too much before a life event, most say they could have done more to prepare If you think being violent doesn’t solve problems you have only led a protected life Elected officials left unattended always serve themselves, and should only serve limited years There is divine hand but only when you have spent all your effort and are still trying. If you give up there is no divine hand. You are always fighting you way home. Live each day as if it matters, because it does.

Blind Spots and their impact on our every day life is a determent to success.  We all have them and few of us confront them in any meaningful way. What would you life be like if you over came your blind spots?

Motivation is the search for some external meaning or an external source to get you moving.  You know that source is rare and often doesn't last long. Inspiration is your ability to breathe life into something.  Your ability to say something is possible and of value.  Notice that you can do that whenever and where ever you want to.   When you practice inspiration you get better at taking action and better and better.

The Warrior Rising team has a singular goal: transform Veterans into Vetrepreneurs. We have achieved this through carefully selecting strategic partners in business, and leveraging a vast network of young professionals and successful entrepreneurs from a wide variety of backgrounds. The organization hosts a robust team of professionals, business owners, and experts in their fields. Since 2015 Warrior Rising has grown from a regional to a national organization with a robust outreach assisting more than 3000 veterans annually.
