Where Have All The Warriors Gone?
Where are these men and women who lived a challenging and purposeful existence and were more vibrant and passionate for it?
I see a world today full of whiners, moaners and whingers, who have completely lost track of who they really are.
They don’t know how to break a sweat, they don’t know how to handle discomfort anymore.
They run to the pub, the fridge or the doctor to hide, to sedate their mundane existence instead of facing up to the discomfort of life.
Discomfort is essential for you to grow, it is to be embraced, not to be feared.
It is to test you to see how bad you want something,
To test how much you want to change
To test the fabric of your existence in this world!
As I sit here I wonder what is happening to the human race?
Where has our hardiness gone?
The ever expanding waistlines and home comforts are making us soft.
We are caught up in the blame culture, we are being made soft by everything around us.
We living increasingly sedentary lives, when we were designed for much much more.
We live in bodies that are built to move and yet they have become a soft outer shell.
The body needs demanding work to stay healthy, our minds need challenge and purpose.
Our ancestry is still inside us, we are still warriors within. This needs to be reclaimed and expressed, not hidden and repressed.
Warrior literally translates to “the bravery to face oneself”
Are you brave enough to face your own fears?
Are you ready to stand up and be counted?
Are you ready to challenge EVERY story you hold dear that does not serve you?
Are you ready to change the belief you have around that story?
Are you ready to become a WARRIOR?
The vitality from expressing your inner warrior brings about confidence and congruence that permeates every aspect of our lives, we just have to let it out.
I for one have had enough.
We exist for more than this.
We exist to thrive not to survive!
Challenge for today warriors…
Take out a pen and physically write out ALL of the difficult life situations you are avoiding.
Once they are on paper, reading them out loud and ask the question “is that true?”
You will be surprised how much power you can exert over these “issues”
Identifying and admitting them is not a sign of weakness it is a sign of power.
Empowerment comes from facing these issues head on.
The solutions to our problems are usually hidden in the problems themselves, you have just got to look.
Discomfort has to be a way of life to grow.
There will be challenges and pitfalls, but ultimately you will overcome them, to become the warrior you were born to be!
So What is stopping you?
What story are you holding on to as the excuse to stay where you are?
Become who you were born to be…
Be True
Be Courageous
Be Happy
