Note:
This article was originally penned in 2015. The time when I was working on building the ideology behind the program what is today The Tactical Life Skills. Nothing much has changed from then to now. Its the same software (mind-set), its the same hardware (body), and same mind viruses (limitations, fears, social typecasts, nasty competition, and more). Resharing this to give all the parents a sneak peek into the revolutionary #MindWare that can help your kids become the toughest versions of themselves against the numerous pressures that not just prevail around them but are also intensifying with times. These TLS, will help your young in their peak performance without causing any stress to their physical, mental, & emotional beings. Because we believe...
Stress in just ones inability to convert PRESSURE into POWER.
So read on and share it with your teens !
I see people get excited during eclipse. But I see Eclipse every time I see a person with great potential, living deep below his #DeservingLine (I don’t believe in a poverty line). They live an eclipsed life because these people have either allowed other people put big fears between who they are and who they want to be or worse, they have put the fear there themselves. So here, we gonna be talking about what this C4 is that you can use to blow your incoming challenges into ash and become the legend you are destined to be.
So this C4 that we talking about has 4 key components:
You got to have CRYSTAL CLARITY on what you want to BE, DO, HAVE and GIVE. If you don’t know what you want you don’t know what to do. And you’ll always be where you are.
Clarity
Who do you wanna be ?
I don’t mean a profession. I mean a CHARACTER. A Personality. How do you want people to know you ? ?How do you want people to remember you. Both when you are alive and when you gone. Make a list of the characteristics you’d like to build in yourself. Personality traits you’d like to have. Find people who have what you want and ASK them how they got it. Ask them to teach you. Become a good student. You got to be Crystal Clear on the traits. Writing them down will, for sure, bring in more clarity.
What do you wanna do ?
For yourself first ! Remember always, it's I, ME, MYSELF first. Then anyone else. I know some morons call it being selfish. But as I said – MORONS. If you’ve traveled by air at anytime, you’d hear the passenger safety instructions before you are airborne. Listen to the one that says – During a drop in cabin pressure, there will be oxygen masks that will automatically drop from above. Please fix YOUR mask before you assist someone else with theirs.?
So coming back, what do you wanna do for yourself ? You wanna build your mind attending training from some super successful people, that’ll cost you some good money ? You wanna hire a personal trainer and build your body into that of steel ? You wanna spend a week/month in the mountains with those who have greater spiritual realizations ? ?Etc….. Don’t let any SO CALLED worldly responsibility stop you or become an excuse. Only when you have the 5 aspects aligned in unity and perfection can you be the best provider of your Family, Society, City, State and Nation.
The 5 aspects are Physical, Mental, Emotional, Financial and Spiritual. on a scale of 1 to 10,?all these need to be on the same count.
What do you wanna Have ? ?
Physical (material), Mental (peace), Emotional (contentment), Financial (abundance), and Spiritual (wealth). As mentioned above, you got to have all of the above in EQUAL amounts. If you need spiritual wealth to be at 10, you got to have the others at 10 too. Else there will be an imbalance. I know many don’t agree with the connection between more financial abundance and spiritual wealth. But the fact is that those who don’t agree have none of it or don’t know how to strike the balance.
It is absolutely OK to desire Material and Financial abundance. After all,?it’s those who have that and know how to do good with it, who are spiritually rewarded. Look at who wiped polio from the planet.
What do you wanna GIVE ?
This is possibly the most important one. There is a reason why the creator fitted into us a mechanism of IN and OUT. I’m speaking about an element that is utmost important for us to live. AIR. It is abundant. We breath IN, the body uses what it needs and then it GIVES BACK what it doesn’t. Same way, we got to GIVE BACK that which is not of any use to us. The excess money that you hold out of fear of future, the material that you don’t use but also are reluctant to let go of etc.
I read this somewhere and since then have made it my mantra of life – ?There are 2 kinds of people in the world. GIVERS and TAKERS. While Takers, most of the time eat better, GIVERS Always Sleep Better.?
So, have a clarity of how much of your Time, Money, Mental involvement, Emotional support and Physical presence are you willing to contribute and make it as a philosophy of giving back to the world from whom you take everyday.

COURAGE
Along my way of being an entrepreneur and an unconventional thinker, I learnt that to be successful, you’ll first have to start by learning the definitions that the successful people use. And then along the way you can create your own definition IF need be. So, here is what I think of Courage –
Courage is a state of spirit that is completely FOCUSED on ACHIEVING the Definite Chief Aim (DCA) and chooses to IGNORE anything that lies between its (spirit) current position and the DCA. Including the False Experiences Assumed Real (FEARs). ?
Now Courage without Clarity can be fatal. Imagine a soldier who’s mission is to blow up an enemy bunker. But if he has no clarity on which one of the bunkers needs to be blown up, he could be close to his DCA and get paralyzed and become the target for his enemy.
This state of spirit is achieved by building massive love for oneself. Unless you love yourself and hold yourself in great esteem, there is no way you will be connected to your spirit. This might be sounding all gyan and spiritual. Guess what, IT IS. And if you are not willing to learn and understand this, you’ll remain in your ECLIPSE all your life.
For a soldier, his DCA is the safety of his mother land he LOVES more than self. For a scientist, his DCA is the LOVE for his invention, he is about to make. For a sportsman it’s the love of WINNING that drives him to face the most deadly opponents.
It’s all about LOVE. Courage comes from Love. History is witness that people have done extraordinary things for their love - People, Things & Nation.
If you are not in love with who YOU are and who YOU want to become, then you’ll never have the courage to blow mediocrity up into ashes. You will never be able to walk up to your family and tell them – Engineering, Chartered Accountancy, Law, Doctor or whatever it is that you do UNDER PRESSURE, is NOT of your making.
COMMITMENT
This would probably be the shortest content you would have read about this word. Remember I said –?that to be successful, you’ll first have to start by learning the definitions that the successful people use. So here is what I learnt commitment is – A state of spirit that has decided to go after its DCA with a determination termed as “What Ever It Takes”.
You will have to do “WHAT EVER IT TAKES” for you to persist and destroy all incoming challenges irrespective of their form (physical, mental, emotional, financial, spiritual) or source (family, friends, society).
That’s it. That’s commitment.
CURIOSITY
This is a KILLER ! If you have the above 3 chemicals in their purest form, this one will not just add MASSIVE destructive power to your C4 but also help you REMOTE DETONATE any future FEARS/Obstacles. Curiosity is that thirst which never lets you settle for the mediocre. It's like the sniffer dog that has smelt its target and will go through or around any obstacle that will come in its way to finding it. However, one must be in complete control of this sniffer. The only vulnerability of this sniffer is that if it's not focused, it might chase a different smell and lead you to an undesired outcome.
In one's journey to achieve any significant success in a domain one locks their mind into, curiosity plays the role of the ultimate seeker. And as a seeker, here's what it does:
Remember – Clarity will give you the Courage to Commit yourself to blow all challenges in your path. Curiosity will show you WHERE to FIX your C4 !
