Jack’s Thoughts: Increasing Your Awareness of Your Surroundings to Avoid Violence Part III: The Secret to Noticing Everything You’ve Been Missing So You Can Increase Your Odds of Staying Alive.

Let’s start with this fact: 100% of all attacks on another human being happen in the present moment. They don’t happen 2 minutes ago or even 15 seconds ago. They don’t happen an hour or a week from now. Any time a human being is being attacked...it is happening “right now.” Anything in your life that’s not happening right now is either a memory (the past) or a fantasy (future.)

If someone is going to attack you, it will be in the present moment when they do. The present moment is the only place an attack can occur. Unfortunately, the present moment is not the only place a human being's awareness can be.
