About The Prepared Mind Series
Albert Einstein has said, "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." The evening news supports this view, although I would submit that "evil" also plays a substantial role. The bottom line is that you have a choice. Either you can let events shape and control your life, shrinking your world view - or you take action. The Prepared Mind Series is for those from that second group. The Series promotes the idea that if you tune into the events that lead up to a relevant (to you) event, you have a decided advantage over someone who is not in tune, you will be able to make informed decisions and take action, and may well be able to avoid the event entirely.
The Prepared Mind Series is about learning and developing situational awareness. The fundamental concept behind situational awareness is that events do not occur in isolation - something happens just before the event, and something happens just before that, and so forth, back to a single action that is the true beginning. Becoming aware of the precursors to an event as they relate to you, in real time, gives you a great advantage. The Prepared Mind Series was written to make you aware of the value of having good situational awareness and provide you with methods and tools to learn, improve and integrate situational awareness practices into your world view.
What benefits do the practice of situational awareness provide? First, surprise is minimized - you have advanced warning that an event is forming on your immediate horizon, giving you some time prepare yourself. Second, action will be necessary. The Prepared Mind Series provides you with options that cover the three kinds of action you have available during an event - Escape, Evasion and/or Engagement.
There is a price, however, for these benefits. Your world view will change. You will change. These changes will take time and require practice...and discipline. Continued practice of situational awareness methods and techniques will change how you interact with your environment - you will automatically sense, analyze and act on much more of what is happening around you than you do now.
The Prepared Mind: Introduction to Situational Awareness, first in The Prepared Mind Series, is your first step. In this volume, the value of situational awareness and an overview of things to come in succeeding volumes will be presented. You will also be given the opportunity to determine what event responses you are willing to take - something you need to know before unfolding events require your action.
Someone said that there are three kinds of people: those who make things happen, those who watch what happened, and those who say, "What happened?". The Prepared Mind Series let's you choose which kind of person you are.
