I’ve been attempting to unravel the Seven Principles of Stalking for some time. I’ve written posts about three already. I think I have finally had a breakthrough after I ‘channeled’ a list that aligns well here. My additions are in all caps.

1. DETERMINATION (Know your surroundings)
   What do you have to work with?
   What is the point?
   Where do you fall short?
   What are your resources?
   How do you assess potential regrets?
2. CHOICE (Discard the Unnecessary)
   Assess time and effort, your values, and your existing goals
3. RESPONSIBILITY (Apply concentration to deciding)
   Take responsibility for each and every one of your actions; must first know why you are acting
4. DECISION (Relax, fear nothing, abandon yourself)
   Is this worth the risk or is it a sure thing? Again, assess your values, this impacts your life
5. ACTION (Retreat for a moment when needed)
   Set your pace; be efficient; don’t lose your energy; carve a path for rest
6. ACCOUNTABILITY (Compress time, never waste an instant)
   To self, family, coworkers, your immediate community; risks and consequences
7. ASSESS Progress (Never push yourself to the front)

The Principles themselves may be found in Eagle, page 278.
