The Way of The Warrior.

 

“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.” ~ Aristotle.

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.  Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” ~ Marcus Aurelius.

                                                        The Way of The Warrior

 

One cannot simply survive and each day hope for the best without altering what one does, but one must do anew, change one’s actions, change one’s ideas, become a warrior in one’s own life. To see life with different eyes, fresh eyes, such eyes that are not exhausted by stubborn views and oppressing situations; therefore, a new breath must bring a fresh start, which means boldly gather yourself and keep making yourself better without stopping to self-pity or to entertain the opinions of others.

Opinions are never facts for the warrior who is wise and based on truth, so opinions do not shake him one bit when the fools of the world open their mouths to spew their ego-centered garbage. When everyone else sees darkness and chaos, you must see light and order; thus, your mind becomes the mind of a warrior whose only purpose is the truth.  And the truth is that which lies within yourself, and the truth is what makes the warrior because self-love is the truth; then, whenever you see lies and deceit in the world, whenever people and situations try to pressure you into lying to yourself, into deviating from your own path, your mind will be strong and firm upon the truth which is deep within you.

This is what separates the warrior who sees and knows the light from the individual who only survives in the darkness because he does not see and know the light in himself; thus, the warrior is never lost, and the individual in darkness is lost even until physical death comes to claim him, and when that happens the fool has lost his time.

The patient one.

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime.  Never make a negative decision in the low time.  Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods.  Wait.  Be patient.  The storm will pass.  The spring will come.” ~ Robert H. Schuller; American Christian televangelist, pastor, motivational speaker, and author.

“There is something good in all seeming failures.  You are not to see that now.  Time will reveal it.  Be patient.” ~ Swami Sivananda; Hindu spiritual teacher and a proponent of Yoga and Vedanta.

We all understand that the origin of wisdom is not the mind of man, seat of the ego, but the heart, not the heart as in the muscle but the heart as the subconscious, Infinite Intelligence, where all true love emerges and fills our cellular make-up.

To rush into things, to prematurely act and make decisions, to say without thinking, to react, is not wisdom from the heart but ego activity from the mind; therefore, when it comes to good decisions and behaviors to better our lives and ourselves, rushing into things is to deny wisdom, it is to purposefully ignore our divine trait of patience.

One must understand that patience is indeed divine, because everything that happens, when it happens, whether you understand it or not at the moment, has a divine purpose, and you must be patient and trust that purpose.  Don’t try to understand it or analyze it, because your mind is limited in that regard; just be patient and trust the process. 

There is no greater wisdom than to be patient, so breathe, calm your mind, before you rush into something, anything; but specially if it is about some great move or change in your life.

Remember, patience is divine; it means we all have it within ourselves.  So, do not look for excuses and say that you cannot use patience or that you don’t have it; because you do have it, but you might just choose to be too ego-centered to reach for that patience within yourself.  Know your own nonsense.
