If You Don’t Know the Answers to These Questions, You Need to Work on Your Prepper Mindset 

If You Don’t Know the Answers to These Questions, You Need to Work on Your Prepper Mindset 

This article’s purpose is to provide you with a framework of ideas for self-assessment.  The piece is Part I of two parts.  It is one of the U.S. Army’s Principles of Leadership to know yourself and seek self-improvement.  This is rooted in a principle that goes back to the time of the Bible, that he who knows himself and controls his passions is stronger than the conqueror of a city.  As conquerors of cities run, few were as adept as Sun Tzu, ancient Chinese warlord, and strategist.  Sun Tzu said to know yourself and to know your enemy,with emphasis on the first part.  It is this part that we concentrate our focus.

Do you know yourself?  It is a fair question.  Survivalist and prepper, yes, but do you reallyknow yourself?  One of the problems that we face in life is that we find our identity, the “who we are” within our interests…of what we do.  If a guy works with electrical outlets and wiring buildings, then he is an electrician and calls himself as such.  Akin to the zombies in George Romero’s movie, “Night of the Living Dead,” we plod through life and live and die within our professions, perhaps changing from one profession to another, but always self-identifying with what we do: a utilitarian identity.

            But who are we?  Do we know ourselves?

Perhaps this is confusing; however, rather than leave you with the question to sort out, let’s place some feedback and framework into it.  Let’s answer a question by asking ourselves more questions.  YOU SHOULD WRITE THESE DOWN ON PAPER, to review.   Let’s do it!
