Strike Your Lightning

By Kirk Kuhn

Do you feel trapped by circumstance, by a job, by a relationship, by stress and by the unrelenting, never-ending struggle to survive? Are you frightened by the current events here at home and globally?  Worried about the future or regretting the past?  Do you feel powerless and have no place to plug in? 

In my career I have met very few people who are truly happy and balanced.  I’ve worked with many people who are simply afraid.  Most people I’ve met or worked with want something better.  Want something different.  Want to be anywhere in life but where they are now.  Their entire perspective is based on emotions of what could have been or should have been or would have been if only.  They live in the land of regret or worry and are mired in the past or frightened by the future, and are looking for a handle to grab on to. 

Here’s a handle. Life is going to murder you so stand up and grow a spine. Pour a little bit of concrete and steel in you.  If you want to change your dreams into reality, only you can.  Only you can choose to move your world.  Only you can decide enough is enough and then find the courage to move forward.  TOP is the arsenal that will light your path as you move from who you are to what you want to be.  Your TOP is Kindness, a Warrior Spirit and Servant Leadership.

Introduction

Change hurts.  This book and the first one, On Time On Target – Launch Your Life Like a Titan II ICBM is all about big and little changes, and knowing every dream achieved required a person to alter attitudes, perception, behaviors and habits. 

These two books are your user guides to changing your life and handling what comes with it.  If you’ve read the first book, some of it is repeated here because repetition is the key to long-term memory, and it’s because we’re giving you a system, a process and guiding principles to help you along the way to your Land of Better. 

The first book is about you becoming a Missileer and launching your life like a Titan II.  It’s about you finding the momentum and energy to grind away every day towards your goals.  It’s about you engaging in the four stages of a Titan II launch: Booster, Sustainer, Vernier and Reentry.  It’s about you going hypergolic and having the power to run down your dreams. 

This book is about accepting the ceaseless labor it’s going to take to truly and fundamentally change your life. This book gives you the Triad of Power, and it gives you a philosophy of grace and equanimity as an approach to your life, and it provides the grease to your grind.   

If you read, understand and believe in the philosophies and practices of these two books your life will fundamentally change, and you will spend the rest of your life going hypergolic, striking your lightning and turning your dreams into reality.
