PRINCIPLES OF SECURITY - #6

Now let us review what you have learned:

KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU

By becoming more aware of your surroundings and activities occurring around you and persons present, you are in a better position to react to a situation or possibly avoid placing yourself in a position from which you can not retreat. Being aware means being prepared.

LOOK & LISTEN

Use your senses; all of them. As you develop your new habit you become aware of how your senses can alert you when something is out of place. Learn to pay more attention to what your senses are telling you; they are seldom wrong. They are a survival instinct. Develop them.

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR GUT FEELING

If you have a “gut feeling” something is not right; IT IS NOT. This gut feeling comes from using your senses and your experiences in life. You hone this 6th sense by developing your security awareness.

BE PREPARED TO ACT, AT ALL TIMES

Think ahead of time of what you will do in various circumstances. Plan your responses ahead of time.

As you develop this “awareness” it becomes second nature to you. You will be doing it subconsciously without any effort at all.


Suddenly you will find yourself more aware of what is going on in the world around you. Your mind becomes more active, your life becomes more interesting and you learn to live without constant fear.


You discover that you can control events in your life because you know what is going on.

YOU ARE AWARE
