A warrior’s intent is solid. A warrior uses decisions and choices to achieve that solidity of intent. For it is a warrior’s overall intent to flow through life like a stream of energy, merging, spending and receiving, giving and taking of all that life offers, as is appropriate to maintain life for as long as it lasts.

A warrior’s process is one of learning how to navigate with intentions solidly focused on a path of heart, with generosity, curiosity, and compassion. And yet, a warrior is also intent upon achieving enough awareness and energy to seamlessly flow in and out of worlds, to travel fluidly beyond the turmoil of this world into the world of energy. And so a warrior seeks always the means and currents of energy that will best serve this purpose.

But without goodness of heart and love for all beings none of a warrior’s efforts will matter, for a true warrior, though personally intent has no personal agenda except to learn how energy works. For a warrior knows that everything is energy. And to understand that is to truly understand how to change the self and the world, perception by perception, with love for all beings who must struggle through life on earth, flowing and being tossed about by their own stream of circumstances.

We are all beings in the same churning waters of life, trying to figure it out. A warrior has compassion for all other beings, for ultimately it’s all about discovering that life is an energetic reality, and that all beings have a purpose and a role to play in the stream of life!

To change means to confront the uncomfortable. Once the uncomfortable becomes comfortable it’s time to change again. A warrior uses the uncomfortable as a tool. A warrior is aware that when things become too comfortable it’s a signal to get up and move into a new position, whether mental, physical, emotional or spiritual. All change is good! A warrior knows that to change one thing is the catalyst to creating a whole new self and a whole new world, and so a warrior does not fear change but embraces it!

Do not stand in awe of changing times but consciously choose to change with them, to embrace the awesomeness of change. It is in such times of outer turmoil that inner turmoil finds its reflection and that which shows itself to be the answer outerly may indeed prove to be the inner answer as well.

Sometimes it is simply time to call a stop to old ideas and behaviors no longer helpful. Sometimes it is right to abruptly switch ideals long held yet with no appropriateness to present reality. Sometimes it’s the right time to change.

Changing times are now, calling for sacrifice yet also calling for the glory of kindness and compassion. To love another as the self is the first order of business now. Begin there.

A warrior is always aware of time passing and that there is no time to dawdle. A warrior uses every moment to learn about life and the self in the process of becoming aware. Gaining awareness is the warrior’s main goal, for only with awareness is there any sense in being a warrior at all. Without awareness a warrior is nothing, just another pea in the pod. Awareness grants entry to what lies beyond the familiar. It is the gateway to greater experience and greater understanding. A warrior knows this, and so a warrior uses time to full advantage. There is no time like the present to begin a new journey. Awareness awaits!

It is time to become selfless. To become selfless is to become part of the changing world. To become selfless is to be without personal want, without desires pending, without need beyond that which is loving, kind, and compassionate to all beings.

What is really necessary now? The world is changing rapidly and to stay abreast of it the self must change too, just as rapidly, if the change is to matter. There is no time to dawdle. It is time to become selflessly loving, kind, and compassionate. That’s what matters.
