[ of·fen·sive ]

Many of our daily battles are fought on a reactive basis. As with any type of warfare, either physical or mental, seizing the initiative and maintaining momentum are critical factors. When we are proactive in our preparation, we can maintain a level of control. 

There are many moments in life where we feel under siege and the world gets noisy. It’s in these moments we must make difficult choices. We can ill afford indecision and doubt. Although there may be times to take cover, inevitability we must get out of our fox holes and move continuously forward. 

We must never succumb to our fears, anxieties or doubts. This won’t serve us well. Steadfast and perpetual forward movement is our weapon to combat the struggles we all face. 

By accepting some things are out of our control, we focus on the factors we can affect. The details matter. Master the variables within your circle of influence and you master your own destiny. 

You won’t win every battle, but we can always be on the offensive!
