Create Your Powerful Identity

Let's say you wish to excel in the art of painting. Or open your own woodworking business. Or become a Filmmaker which I did many years ago. The key is to utilize a Powerful Identity in reframing your Focus. Let's stick with painter for the moment.

Use the words: "I am a painter." The powerful use of the "I am..." phrase welds this new outlook to you mentally, intellectually but, more importantly, emotionally. Why emotionally? When you talk about painting (or any very exciting goal), then you can feel the electrical excitement within your body and Being.

"Being" is the act of existing within this newly embraced identity. Then you grow and become.

Michael's Kenpo Karate Weapons Form - Knife & Pistol

You can see my Pistol & Knife form at approximately 10:31 here in the video from 2010. This is at Bryan Hawkins Kenpo Karate where I have studied Kenpo Karate for approximately over 35 years. The form is one that I created to advance in the system, utilizing Kenpo Karate principles. I use the form with the primary weapon as the firearm, duly guarded and using the knife for close-in drills. This is the training the Warrior phase!

Citizen Soldier Technique: Digest Alinsky’s Rules on Ethics of Means and Ends

Alinsky’s ethical rules deal with the Means and the Ends. Does the Ends justify the Means? In the left-wing world of moral relativism, it is absolutely justified. To understand who you are fighting agaist, you have to understand the mentality.

  The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.  Ethical judgement is not objective but subjective.  Who is judging who here?

  In war the end justifies almost any means.  Politics is war so the end is the objective no matter what means are employed

  Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.  Timeless principles are void; one’s actions depend on the circumstances and are morally relative.    

  Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa. The more ways (means) to accomplish the ends (objective), then the more ethical questions one has.  

  The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.  If the goal isn’t that important, then become more ethical.  If the goal is very important, then forget ethics – get the job done!

  Generally, success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.  If you succeed, then you can determine the ethics of your actions.  The Victory determines Right and Wrong, not principles.

  The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.  Morality depends only on Victory.

  Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical. Your opponent will attempt to smear your success with cries of foul.  Fuggedaboutit!

  You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments. Whatever tactics you can employ, use them and call it ‘social justice’, ‘racism’, etc.,

      Goals must be phrased in general terms like "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," "Of the Common Welfare," "Pursuit of Happiness," or "Bread and Peace."  Always uses phrases that echo with emotion for the masses.
