To keep the self in constant spiritual awareness takes work. It is not enough to decide that certain times will be spiritual times. Such times offer the beginnings of a regular practice, but one should be a spiritual being all the time. To achieve this is challenging and yet it is the journey the spirit seeks.

Returning awareness constantly to the heart center returns awareness to the spiritual seeker within, to the spiritual warrior self who constantly nudges us to remember and asks us to practice our compassions, our kindnesses, our loving duties to self and other from this place of deep feeling and emotion all the time.

Remembering who we really are—spiritual beings on human journeys—provides a memory of our far greater purpose. It is time to remember and be who we truly are all the time. Choose to change the journey through life into a practicing spiritual journey by remembering who you truly are all the time. Let the practice begin!

A warrior learns to read the signs that come to guide, not wishfully or wanting the impossible but openly accepting the truths they spell out. Without personal agenda the warrior considers their advice, trusting their guidance, knowing that life is uncomfortable at times because it has to be. In the end, the warrior knows, more will be revealed and so a warrior takes every step with awareness, ready for what comes to teach and show the way to greater understanding, accepting the ups and downs of life with humbleness and grace. For a warrior knows that at a moment’s notice everything can change again.

A warrior takes nothing for granted. A warrior knows that at any moment things can change, that life is full of abrupt shifts. And so a warrior is always alert, striving not to control life but to flow with it. It is the warrior’s way to accept what comes but to master it as well, for life does not overwhelm a warrior nor does a warrior refuse it, but a warrior lives life with equal amounts of letting go and taking control. That is the warrior’s way.

Life is a concept, an idea manifested, easily reconfigured. A warrior knows this and so a warrior is not depressed by life but always one step ahead, eagerly awaiting what comes next.

A warrior’s journey is full of new ideas, new concepts and new creations. A warrior is a creator of life and life knows it and gets out of the warrior’s way. Thus, a warrior’s journey is always fluid, alive, in the moment, and in alignment with the energy of intent.
