What I have listed above is within our control and we must take ownership of everything we can in order to get us to our peak performance levels . Over the years I have had the opportunity to interact with many types of individuals and I have found that the ones that recognize that they can always learn something fair better than the ones that feel that they have been there done that .
I will say that although they may have been there and done that , rarely have they seen and done it all . There two things in this world that can get you seriously hurt and killed in this world . Complacency and your Ego will stunt your personal and professional growth , write checks that your body cannot cash , or worse someone else gets hurt or killed because you allowed yourself to fall into this dangerous mind trap .
We saw complacency with Driver 2 in our scenario , a bad attitude and wrong mindset for the mission . Realizing this is key and then making the right decision , such as putting your ego to the side and telling someone , that your head is not right . You need to get over the stigma or the tough guy mentality . To truly succeed and be on your top-level game , you have to realize when you are off your game and seek the assistance to get you back . The ones that can do that are the true professionals , as you are putting the safety of others first before your ego .
You are also realizing that you are going through the motions and are not present in that environment , you have to be alert , focused , and above all , prepared !
I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this article ; my goal is to at least get you thinking about what you are doing now . Even if you are not a driver , what role are you in , how do you prepare , what techniques do you consistently train to stay in the fight . If you are not training , this should provoke you to seek out training for any role , ensure it is applicable to your role and is conducted by a reputable group . In this world and industry , hope is not an operational plan ! Prepare not just your vehicle or weapon , also prepare your mindset so that when evil knocks on the door you will be able to choose right mindset and the right weapon ! Stay safe , stay prepared !
