I am a peaceful warrior. I know that both a peaceful heart combined with a warriors spirit is needed to embody the true essence of what it takes to be a warrior. As with anything, balance is necessary. And balance comes with training. We are all in training every moment and every day of our lives.
A warrior is determined, motivated and purposeful. A warrior embraces life and will take action to make the impossible, possible. A warrior doesn't quit. A warrior battles self doubt while tackling life's challenges. A warrior takes action even when fear is present. These are all qualities of being a warrior and yet the most important quality is humility. Our ability to be humble helps to guide our actions and tackle life with integrity.
I can attach many of these qualities to myself and I also know that they fluctuate from time to time and are constantly evolving. I have days where I am on top of my game and I have days where I am tested and provided with opportunities to learn from my failures. Because I recognize and have experienced these qualities in myself I am also able to recognize when they are lacking. With that awareness I can work towards having more consistency and balance in my life. Kung Fu has helped me to develop a warrior spirit and is teaching me how to balance my peaceful heart with my warrior spirit.
