Most people spend the majority of their lives on autopilot – either thinking about whatever random thoughts wander through their heads, or entirely self-absorbed, thinking only about themselves. This works just fine, until their world CHANGES. Then, they are confused, bewildered, unable to make decisions or take action. If the change is for the worse (an increasingly common occurrence in Amerika), this can be very dangerous, or fatal.
Even if you are scatter-brained by nature, and are clueless about the world around you, you can learn how to be aware of the details around you, notice when things are unusual, abnormal, or “wrong”, come to conclusions quickly and accurately about what to do about it, and act quickly and decisively when you need to.
Life is a game, true. But a very deadly game if you are not paying attention.
