There are always things you can do to make your life easier, more enjoyable and fulfilling. Even simple changes can have impact. Letting go of old ideas might be a good place to begin, for holding onto something that is as fleeting as a thought, though nothing in reality, may be like a great weight or heavy chain around your neck, keeping you stuck and unhappy. Just a thought can do that! Imagine how much better life would be without those heavy thoughts and ideas!

A warrior knows that thoughts are foreign entities and so a warrior is quick to push them away, always seeking to be free. A warrior is the first to say, “I’ve had enough! I’m done,” and move on from that which seeks to feed off energy and dampen the spirit. A warrior is decisive and does not turn back but keeps going, seeking always a path of heart at every turn.

Note from Chuck: there is a distinction between the art of thinking and uninvited thoughts or thoughts that seek sustenance from your energy field thru mental obsession and storytelling. Pure thought contemplates the intent of the High Self and acts decisively, always in alignment with that higher intent as it navigates through the mists of this world.

All actions have consequences. Make sure that you are ready to handle the results of your decisions. This means taking full responsibility for all choices and the resultant outcomes. A warrior know this and so a warrior chooses wisely. A warrior knows that wise choice comes only from deep contemplation, but a warrior also knows that nothing can be controlled and so a warrior is always ready for anything.

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.
