So, now, moving forward into the new year it is time to lay all of that to rest and take only the lessons I have learned and the things which I know I should do, and must do, with me. This new year is a time of growth and application of all the things I have learned in the last several years. It is time that I enacted self-discipline in my life and set out to do that which I have understood I must for some time. Now is the time to act as I have felt in my heart and soul and as I have been instructed from on high.
This new year, and the rest of 2012, will prove to be an interesting year in many respects. Exactly what will happen in the world is unclear but what is clear is this: something will happen. 2012 will bring changes on a global scale that will affect us here at home and our outlook at the end of this year, much as in the year that is past, will likely be very different than it is today. I only pray that it is still positive.
So what are the new years resolutions of my heart? Well, here is a short list of my new years resolutions this year... and as you will notice... there is a common trend running through them all - Survival.
- Acquire the tools of survival (clothing, tools, etc...) that I will need in the event of a nationwide crisis (and this is a rather large thing to do in preparing).
- Attend the gym daily and keep myself physically fit (been doing so for two months now and I feel fabulous!).
- Walk to and from work throughout the rest of the season here.
- Sell off my truck in the summer and do not purchase another one.
- Start practicing shooting more with both pistol and rifle working towards becoming an excellent shot.
- Learn more of self defense, tracking, hunting, skinning, survival, communication methods, etc... Basically, acquire more survival skills both in wilderness and urban environments for all temperature ranges.
- Learn to function comfortably outside of the normal 'processes' of society (bank accounts, etc...).
- Live on cash only.
I ask you now to look at your own life and the new year. What would you allow to pass from your life as ash beneath the Phoenix' reborn. What would you rise and aspire to this year? What would you become? What do you already know that you should be and be doing but up to this point have not disciplined yourself enough to do? Discover the Phoenix that lies within your breast and allow him to be reborn through the ashes of your past. Rise, as if on fiery wings, to the occasions and opportunities that lie before you... and may God bless you on your journey!
