The energy may be tumultuous, but notice that it is made up of many different currents and thus there are always pockets of calm. A warrior studies energy. A warrior does not act until the time is right, until the energy is in agreement, until alignment is achieved. This alignment and agreement will always further a warrior’s purpose and intent, based on a path of heart. A warrior knows that times of tumult may not be the right time to act and so a warrior waits patiently until the energy is calm and a decision is clear. Eventually, a warrior becomes so knowledgeable that every action is automatic. Without having to think about it a warrior knows what is appropriate and what is in alignment with a path of heart. A warrior also takes full responsibility for every action and so a warrior knows that to act decisively one must be in agreement with what is right. Study energy as a warrior does so that all actions on your path of heart will be right.

All beings in the universe seek the same things. All beings are innocent, vulnerable, and deeply affected by the trials and tribulations of life. All beings are full of potential. All beings are capable of love, kindness, and compassion. A warrior is aware of these things and so a warrior does not judge others but seeks always to find the best in everyone. A warrior seeks also to exhibit the best of self, for a warrior knows that life is fleeting and to pass through quietly is far better than to pass through with a lot of noise.

A warrior’s focus is on what comes next, on amassing the energy necessary to proceed into new life beyond the confusion of this world with clarity and focus. A warrior always prepares for the inevitable in every thought, action, word, and deed. The ultimate goal of a warrior is to fully experience the energy of being alive while fully preparing for the energy of death, for a warrior knows it is the same thing.

Be aware of what lies beneath decisions and choices. A warrior seeks always the truth, within the self, with interactions with others, and with what is presented in the outer world. Truth is sober, calming, and solid. Truth is without doubt, though to act upon truth may be fear inducing, and a warrior knows this. But a warrior also knows what fear is all about. There is instinctual animal fear, which acts as a signal to be alert, and there is ingrained thought and emotionally attached fear, which a warrior knows must be dealt with and put aside so that truth may come to the fore and become the driving force to change.

Behind truth will lie love, and this is the ultimate goal of the warrior. Seeking and aligning with love will guide the warrior always to the truth and what is right action. These are the things a warrior seeks when confronted with times of great change and the decisions and choices that must be determined for progress to be made. Seek truth. Seek love. Find joy.

The time has come to make a decision. The energy of now is fully ready and supportive. A warrior reads the energy and knows when it is time to make a move. Once a decision is made a warrior moves quickly and without regret. Until the time is right a warrior waits patiently, remains contained and restrained, but when the right time arrives a warrior does not hold back. When the time is right a warrior moves quickly and decisively. A warrior knows that to move against the energy is futile and so a warrior’s decision is based on timing, preparation, and energy amassed, for a warrior knows that to accomplish anything energy is needed.
