Could you imagine yourself in such a situation? Have you been there? Do you know someone in that spot now? What would you do if you found yourself homeless?
When Christopher Nyerges was on DestinySurvival Radio a few weeks ago, he mentioned he’d been homeless and a squatter in his younger days. (Read about his first visit here.) That revelation caught my attention, so I had him on again as my guest yesterday to explore the subject further. And he shared a great deal of practical wisdom.
Without reciting all of his credentials, Christopher is an instructor and author who’s written thousands of articles and several books. He teaches wild food classes and does survival walks in the L.A. area. He also knows a wide circle of people with various skills and experiences related to survival.
I counted on his eclectic knowledge base for our discussion and wasn’t disappointed. This is one show I hope you’ll take time to hear.
Thought Provoking questions
Of fear, hope and action
To be self reliant, start with one thing. Learn that. Then move on to the next. If you do everything at once, you’ll do tasks poorly.
Christopher says hope isn’t a good economic or life strategy. You must take action. Things happen not merely because you hope for them to.
Few people like living homeless and will follow their drive to get out of such a situation.
Important lessons
Christopher says homelessness taught him…
Of course, take work wherever you can find it. Think of what you can do for others, not just what they can do for you. And realize there’s no quick fix.
I can’t possibly do justice to our conversation in this post. I urge you to hear the whole insightful interview with Christopher Nyerges when you listen to DestinySurvival Radio for March 7, 2013. Check out his site at www.christophernyerges.com.
What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of the questions above or on anything else raised here. Feel free to leave a comment below.
