The financial world we live in is just as wild, if not more, than the mountains and woods we walk through. We are told that the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but we can feel that something is wrong. My unique financial background and survival passion make Financial Survivalist and excellent place to learn and share.

My Thoughts Thursday: Security Does NOT Equal Fear

My Thoughts Thursday
Security Does NOT Equal Fear

The other day I was knocking doors in Arizona and I ran into a Jamaican Guy who said he didn't believe in security. "Security means you're afraid," he said. He went on to explain that there are million things that can happen to you. By acting to stop or avoid all or one of them it is acting on fear of that thing.

I told him that if you prepare you will not fear. Preparing and protecting your family DOES NOT mean you are afraid. Preppers are some of the most secure people I know. I told him, "You could get hit by a car crossing the street, but that doesn't mean you don't look both ways before you cross." If you're afraid of the street, you avoid the street. If you are prepared, you learn how to cross the street and you face it.

Getting a security system is not an act of fear. It is an act of preparedness. Any step toward preparing for disaster adds to your security and peace of mind. It doesn't mean you're afraid. Just the opposite.
