Alignment is achieved when all is calm. Alignment is maintained when all is calm. A warrior seeks calmness knowing that it brings not only alignment but peace of mind and that only with peace of mind will right action be possible. A warrior knows that thoughts, ideas, attachments, and desires are interferences in alignment. And so a warrior strives always to maintain peace within and peace without.

Remarkable people are no more remarkable than you. Some people are driven by ego, others by heart. Ego driven people often appear remarkable in the eyes of others while heart driven people are barely noticed. To be heart driven is to crave nothing, neither remarkability nor noticeability. To live a life of meaning and purpose from the heart center is knowing that nothing is more important than being loving, kind, and compassionate. That is being remarkably heart driven.

Life is full of choices. Decisions must be made each day. A warrior keeps things close at hand, stays focused and ready to shift at a moment’s notice. And so, for a warrior, it is not hard to know what to do. Choices are always in alignment with a path with heart and decisions are made quickly and decisively, also in alignment with that path of heart. If a choice is not clear or a decision must be delayed, a warrior does not act but waits for the right moment, waits for clarity, for everything to be in alignment. For a warrior knows that to be in alignment IS a path with heart.

There may be no call for drastic measures. If one is stuck, the simple process of energetic consolidation, thoughtful consideration, and a new plan may be all that is needed. Sometimes the only way to change is to be still, to stay where one is and fully take in and acknowledge the state one is in. To struggle may only sink one in deeper, while to remain contained and use awareness may lead one to a new level.

Planning for change is good, but activating change is better. All beings are capable of figuring out life. Once one has reached adulthood there is no excuse for one’s behavior. Responsibility lies with the individual to take the journey into life. And so, a responsible changing being does not blame or regret but finds instead the means to shoot forward, and sometimes the best way to do that is to simply stay put.
