Episode 536 - Living with War

Russia invaded the Ukraine - that is what the headlines say. For days, I have watched people hyper focus on this international event. Then the joke memes started. Then the prepper facebook group got amped up about getting prepared via purchasing all the things. Then more humorous memes happened.

Then it was Friday - and I had extra time to spend on something. And I had a decision to make. 

Today, I will share with you how I am moving beyond the crisis reporting drama of this world event to do my best to focus on the things that will move my life forward despite the fight with Russia, or the Ukraine, depending on which side is the side du jour.

Main Topic: Living with War

War sucks - and what happens next from our country’s leaders to this altercation could have a pretty dramatic impact on our lives. Or very little. And the hell of the matter is that it is entirely out of our control.

So, then, how do we live with war?

• Situational awareness vs obsession (Time is investment)
• What does war mean if it happens?
  • Profit opportunities (John’s email)
  • Terrible loss of life - military activation
  • We are not as tough as we once were and this is a problem
  • If it goes on: supply chain issues for things that are not easily available/made here
  • Violence against us citizens abroad and possibly on us soil 
• What if it doesn’t happen?
  • We know something will happen - just not how far the US admin will go
  • If you go all in on “we are going to war” and it does not happen - you lose
  • If you make decisions motivated by fear, they are usually the wrong ones
• So what do you do?
  • What can you do? Time is an investment. Investing time in learning resilience is something that pays off forever, no matter what happens. Learning new skills will help you if we seriously go to a wwIII scale war. Investing is personal and community stability is worthwhile. Invest in relationships
  • Keep moving your life and your community forward 
• Situational Awareness is key - obsessing on wargames will only undermine your success (Jack Spirko’s video)

Make it a great week!
