Be attentive to the self, even in the midst of attending to others. There is no sense in creating situations where your energy is compromised. A warrior’s main concern is always with energy, protecting it, maintaining it, and rejuvenating it.

You can only do so much for another being. A warrior knows this, and so a warrior gives unconditionally but never to depletion. A warrior is kind and loving, but a warrior needs nothing in return and so a warrior is free to return to the warrior’s work once obligations are met. A warrior’s life is concerned with gathering enough energy to do what comes next. So watch your energy at all times.

A warrior remains focused no matter what occurs or interrupts. Others may not be so in-tune with what is truly right or truly practical and yet a warrior does not find fault or neglect in others but stays intent. Without judgment, a warrior always find a way to smooth through rough spots so that transitions may be uncomplicated events in their unfolding.

To be a warrior is to always walk a path of heart with love, kindness and compassion. No matter what arises in the scheme of things, a warrior knows that there is no other path that is truly right.

A warrior studies life from an energetic point of view, noticing the subtle nuances of what is right and appropriate, and so a warrior does not act impulsively but determines if, what and when action is appropriate. A warrior feels the energy of a situation to determine its value, and when a warrior does act it is without attachment or regret. A warrior simply does what is right.

Beyond reason lies energy and how energy operates in the universe may not be well understood. Often it is not even considered, but to a warrior energy is more important than reason. And so a warrior often bypasses reason and goes right to the heart of the matter, the knowing heart, to determine right action, because a warrior knows that the heart always knows what is right.

New beginnings open many doors. Many doors offer many opportunities. Opportunity is the gateway to choice. Choice is the catalyst to new experiences. New experiences gather energy. It is always the warrior’s intent to gather energy.

A warrior lives a changing life at all times, assured that each day is a new beginning, determined to approach its many doors of opportunity with eagerness, curiosity and intent.

Let today’s new beginning spark a warrior’s attitude in you that says, “I am open to enjoying and exploring all that life offers, for I am an eternally changing being!” That is how to live as a spiritual warrior intent upon a path of heart.
