In the study of Life Defense the PRINCIPLE of RELEASE is vital. Coming from the world of self-defense, this basic skill of survival actually has application in our everyday life.

In self-defense, held by potentially deadly opponents our life hangs in the balance. In life, those most deadly opponents, may hold us in our past, and never allow us to move forward. They stop us, slow us, and hold us back from our dreams, accomplishments, and life itself.

Consider for a moment that the deadliest of these vicious, violent, killers of life attackers could be you. What you don’t RELEASE by definition hinders you, and affects your ability to function, and in fact live. “What do you mean?” says the majority of listeners. Let’s look.

In the simplest definition, a hold requires RELEASE to be free, and live. The act of holding is a hard stop of motion, a slowing, and or limiting of ability. In the case of holding on to your past, anything you hold on to identifies you as the attacker, albeit an attacker of self.

As this attacker, you attack the person closest to you. You, and your hold can either stop your motion completely, slow you down, or limit your ability to live. In the end life is lost.

Contrast this with a TRUE WARRIOR of LIFE. They speak of battles lost as an active observer, creating new strategies to implement in the next battle. They know a battle is just an instant in the war, or beautiful chaos of conflict we call life.

Likewise, a SURVIVOR of an assault by definition defines themselves a TRUE WARRIOR by RELEASING the past as an emotional barrier and embracing the past event as a battle scar realizing those beautiful strokes of blade against skin mark another victory of living, never to be a victim as long as they draw breath.

The choice in this battle is clear. Will you hold on to past battles lost, and allow them to take control of your future? Or will you RELEASE the past, embrace the outcomes, and bear scars as beautiful symbols of life? For me, and those powerful WARRIORS of LIFE I’ve coached, the breath we draw, and scars we carry count us forever among the living! RELEASE and live…
