If a hurricane, tornado or earthquake struck tomorrow, destroying homes and taking out utilities like electric, gas and water...are you prepared? If civil unrest erupts and rioters and looters rampage out from the cities and end up in front of your house...are you prepared? If the next widespread national/global heath threat unleashes (Covid, monkey pox, killer hornets, etc.)...are you prepared? 

With various calamities and disasters happening now more than ever before and crime and lawlessness on the rise, home security and emergency preparedness are critical aspects of modern-day living. I recommend three preparedness components, or tools, that will help you and your family cope in the best possible way with such crisis and possibly save your life:

1, An Emergency Kit

2. A Tactical Defense Plan

3. A Bug-Out-Bag

Nothing in this life is more important than your health. Think about it. If you don't have your health, what else even matters? 

Second to your physical health is your fiscal health. Stress about money is one of the leading causes of breakdowns in physical health and relationships. 

Fiscal (financial) health and wealth is attained through knowledge. A wise man once said that your bank account is one of the greatest indicators of your level of knowledge.

So let's get to it...

Health: Drink This As Soon As You Wake Up

This one tip has changed the lives of so many of my friends. It's simple. It's uncomplicated. And, it works. Drink 24 oz. of water as soon as you wake up, on an empty stomach. Here are 10 reasons why you should drink water as soon as you wake up.

Health, wealth and wisdom have been the three pillars of my overall success in life thus far. Without our health, we have nothing. Nothing else matters more.

Wealth comes in many forms; financial, spiritual, etc. But for most of us, wealth in the domain of finances reigns supreme. It gives us freedom and autonomy to do what we want and need when we want and need to. It relieves the stress of bills and helps us focus on more important things in life...like living life.

Wisdom is the key to acquiring both health and wealth. Sadly, education typically falls pretty low on the list of priorities for many. The truth of it is, education post college is more important to success than most anything we learn in high school or college. And with the proliferation of technology, as with ignorance, lack of wisdom today is a choice.

I have been working out for the better part of the last two decades. Over that time I have come across countless diet and workout plans. Some seemed legitimate. Others were fads. And some were simply designed for failure.
