"The art of war teaches us not to rely on the likelihood of the enemy's 'NOT' coming......but on our own readiness to receive him.....Not on the 'chance' of his not attacking....But rather on the fact that we have made our own position..... unassailable." -Sun Tzu ----------- I read the "Art of War" for the first time when I was 26 and was riveted by it as it lined up with with many biblical principles also regarding warfare---- The one above is something that every great mentor has also poured into me...and that I learned by watching they themselves go to war against the things that threatened that which they loved....when we realize that the outcome of the battle is determined not by the strength of your enemy...but how ready you are for him....if it all were to "hit the fan" today....is your mind, heart and body in position to be "unassailable"..... To every person who right now feels like life is happening "to them"....i want to encourage you to look deep at your daily life, habits, thoughts..,.are you positioning yourself for victory in your everyday decision and actions... are you fighting every day to get yourself into position? Or just letting life happen and putting your future in the hands of other people? You don't get ready for the battles once they're at your front door as there's no time...you have to stay ready...not with fear of its arrival...but with a strong mind and clear heart that when it does....you are in position and ready to meet it with all you have. "When David saw Goliath, he RAN towards battle line to meet him"....When you know your position, your confidence allows you to run fearlessly towards any battle line. #ThatsClutch @clutchbodyshopla #clutchbodyshop #Battle #artofwar #LaoTzu #goliath (at Arts District, Los Angeles)
