When we
recognize our warrior self, we can exhibit strength without sacrificing
tenderness. |

The human soul is dynamic, adapting readily
to the changing conditions we encounter as time marches unerringly forward.
Though we may use a single set of characteristics to define ourselves, we
slip easily into contradictory roles when circumstances necessitate doing so.
When we feel called to explore the way of the warrior, we may feel a strong
sense of dismay because we have no wish to disavow ourselves of our softer
side. Yet embracing the warrior spirit is not a matter of denying gentleness
or compassion — all human beings embody all traits to some degree, and
seemingly contradictory aspects can coexist peacefully within us. We can
exhibit strength without sacrificing tenderness precisely because both are
elements of the self and both have a role to play in the complexity of
existence. Balance is the key that unlocks the door of
peaceable coexistence where opposing characteristics of the self are
concerned. The warrior spirit, when allowed free rein, is overpowering and
all-consuming. If it is to be an affirmative force in our lives, it must be
tempered with wisdom and moderation. Our inner warriors are ready to react
instantly to conflict, chaos, and confusion, while nonetheless remaining
committed to a path of goodwill and fairness. They lie at the root of our
dedication to integrity but do not drive us to use our strength to coerce
others into adopting our values. The warrior may be nourished by raw
emotions, which could potentially cause us to lash out, but we can also
channel that energy into positive and constructive action. Your inner warrior is one source of
strength you can draw upon in times of great need. When you employ your
warrior spirit thoughtfully, it manifests itself as clarity, focus,
determination, courage, constancy, and an unflappable zest for life. The
warrior views roadblocks as evolutionary opportunities and is not afraid to
pursue a purpose to its climax. There is more than enough room in the
existence of the warrior for softness and benevolence, and the
warrior's willingness to stand up for their beliefs can aid you
greatly as you strive to incorporate these ideals into your existence.
Exploring this unique side of yourself is a means of broadening your reality,
so you can internalize mindfulness while meeting life's challenges
with an intensity of spirit that never wavers. |
