What matters is that you become the man You want other men to be Hi I'm Jason salier and I am not Interested in forming a prepper group I don't want to spend my weekend setting Up lpops and uh every other weekend Zeroing in our rifles and Pretending to be you know some sort of Special Operations unit Behind Enemy Lines Hunkering down in a in a a fortress of Freeze-dried foods that's not my thing I Don't want to do that What I am interested in doing and what I Do feel is really really important Is surrounding myself with like-minded Individuals that are trustworthy Reliable useful And I think the first step in developing A community such as this is Not focusing your attention inwardly Where you you become self-centered in in Um uh devoted to yourself and and what Your needs are but but What matters is that you become the man You want other men to be my wife is The Mastermind behind a a acronym Trust And these are just a simple way to Remember and identify the things that You want to look for in in people when You're trying to form a a solid Community Trust is the acronym the first letter Being T is for trustworthy can you trust
This individual if you tell them Something in confidence can you rely on Them to keep that to themselves and not Spread the gossip everywhere Would you trust this individual with Your family Would you trust this individual with Your wife and kids Unsupervised can you count on them to Care for your family as much as you Would or at least close to as much as You would Can you trust them Could you potentially trust them with Your life Can you trust that they would sacrifice Themselves for the greater good R is Reliable if you say you're going to be There at nine o'clock on Saturday be There at nine o'clock on Saturday to the Best of your possible to the best of Your abilities I mean obviously stuff Happens life happens but communicate That There's no excuse for not really be Being in contact and communicating these Days we've got we've got the best Communication services on the face of The Earth that have ever existed so so Utilize that it be reliable do what you Say you're going to do no matter what be That guy that always shows up every Single time And look for that in the people around
You as well those are the people that You want to surround yourself with is Reliable individuals the flaky guys that Say I don't know maybe I'll be there Maybe I won't be there Or they say they'll be there and they Don't show up and you know how many Times can you Can you uh can you do that before people Just stop trusting that you're gonna do What you say you're gonna do so be Reliable to the best of your ability The next one is is you and that is uh Useful are they are they useful Individuals are you a useful individual Can you do you have skills and knowledge That you can pass on to the people Around you are you are you someone that Is of value Um and and I don't know maybe maybe so Maybe the skills that you have are Useful in lots of situations maybe You've only focused on one thing your Entire life and that's all you know how To do And I'm not saying that's necessarily Wrong if you're really really skilled And really really good at what you do But maybe you just need to look at Branching out and becoming a little bit More well-rounded and and developing Your skills in other areas that maybe Aren't aren't as Uh important right now but could
Potentially be very important if hard Times should come upon us One of those hard times I don't know We're not getting into that right now But who knows what the hard times could Look like it's inevitable that hard Times will come the hard times will Probably pass and then they will come Back again it's a cycle of life that's The way it works regardless of where you Live so it's not going to happen in the Next couple years I don't know are the Bombs gonna fall out of the sky tomorrow I don't know nobody really knows for Sure s Do you Put similar values and beliefs As the people in this community that You're trying to form if you don't it's Just going to cause heartaches and Problems In your close knit I'm talking about Close-knit Community I'm not talking About your you know the everyone in the County I'm not talking about everybody Even in your town or or whatever I'm Talking about your close group of Individuals you know you're the the Three four five Individuals in this close group That you uh that you want to develop This this relationship with Are do they already possess the similar Values and beliefs that you have believe
The same things that you believe are you All Christians are you are you do you All place a high high value on that do You all place a high value on on Family First and Those things are important because while You while you may want to be Evangelical And and reach out and and try to help as Many people as you can and and you you Think that your values and belief Systems are are are the right way to go About it Um attempting to do that in a small Group of people that you're that you're Relying upon in dire situations Potentially you can't have that to start With maybe potentially as as people Evolve and people change and they change Their minds and their values and Views That you can bring them into that Circle But at first You've got to keep that tight-knit group Really controlled with those people that Share those same values and beliefs Teachable is the last t Are you willing to admit that you don't Know everything are you willing to admit That there's things that you don't know Things that you're not good at And are you willing to accept Instruction criticism and feedback on Those things if you've got to know it All that knows everything about Everything and you can't be wrong that
Person is going to be difficult to deal With And that's a fact So as as an individual trying to improve Yourself trying to be the man that you Want others to be Willing to admit that you don't know Everything show up for the class that You're not confident on don't just don't Be afraid to raise your hand and ask a Question assuming that everybody knows The thing and you don't Be willing to humble yourself and the People around you will appreciate that And they'll respect it they'll look at You with admiration because perhaps That's a quality that they don't Necessarily already possess you're a Strong individual if you are willing to Make yourself look vulnerable in front Of a group of your peers if you're Willing to raise your hand and say I Don't know show me how to do this thing I think that that's not a small thing at All and I really admire anyone and Everyone that's willing to do that So trust that's the acronym that my Beautiful wife has created That we worked together on but she was Definitely The Mastermind behind it Those are the types of people that you Want in your tight tight group Tight-knit group of people that you can Really really count on when the chips
