What Makes A Modern Warrior?

Are You A Modern Warrior?

The 5 Primary Attributes of a Modern-Day Warrior

Most of the world today is caught in a dangerous spiral. Majority of  people are in a purposeless daze either lacking direction or existential certainty or trapped in a narcissistic bubble, either way, it's bad and getting worse and worse each passing day.

There are a number of individuals who've wrestled with and overcame such a dilemma.

What does it take to achieve such a feat? To face the challenges of life willingly as a form of mastery and spiritual exercise?

I.  Responsibility

If something could be given to each individual in the planet that can solve 90% of our problems and make the world a better place to live in it would be Responsibility.

Instead of blaming circumstances, the government, economy or God for things not going our way perhaps it is much more productive to focus their attention, energy and effort on things under our control.

OWN YOUR LIFE

Take responsibility for yourself and the things that are important to you and suddenly THE WORLD CHANGES from a dreadful place of which you are a victim of to a reality where YOUR DECISIONS MATTER.

II. Resilience      

Make no mistake...

There will be pain and at time it may get scary. What you DECIDE to do when there is pain, when there is doubt and when there is pain will determine what happens next.

The way I see it you have two choices...
Option A:You can cower down in a corner and let life kick you to submission.
Option B: Stand up take the blows the face and slowly position yourself to win
Odds are if you're reading this Option A sounds like a joke to you... which it is.
For Anyone who is remotely considering the first option,..
READ THIS CAREFULLY...

You're already IN PAIN. GET A REWARD FROM IT.        

-E. Thomas                 

III. Confidence

Before the world can place its trust in you, you have to place your trust in yourself. Have faith in YOURSELF so that Fate will look kindly to you. Carry yourself with respect, stand up, raise your head high and look people at eye level. you don't have to be a narcissistic show off who is thirsty for attention. In fact, such a behavior demonstrates insecurities and are automatic red flags to people.

IV- Purpose

Contrary to popular opinion, life can be VERY LONG and having no clear direction on where you're going will most likely lead to unhealthy degrees of nihilism or worse yet, depression.
All these can be avoided by answering and taking to heart a simple, one word question:

WHY?

The answer is your purpose and it is very important in having a fulfilled  and meaningful life, 

Is your purpose to be the best parent you can be? To Excel at the field of your choosing? Is it a creed or faith in something? To change the world for the better? Helping People? 

Your Purpose, will be your compass in the direction you are to take and the decisions you have to make. 

V- Resourcefulness

One of the main reasons people quit, on their passion, on their mission, on life, is lack of (Fill in the blank). 

We've heard (and said) it all at some point. 

"I don't have time"..."I have no money"..."I don't know the right people"

And they are right they ARE LACKING SOMETHING...What is it you might ask?

RESOURCEFULNESS

We make the best of and leverage what we have. We only have a shot at life and we can either go all in with what we have or watch others winning it all.

Do your best to study these attributes, try to embody them as best you can and soon you will live them by instinct and you will have the ability to face any challenges, obstacles and set backs that cross your path.
