The warrior is not about invincibility.The warrior finds the love in what they do.The warrior doesn’t give up what they love.Devote life to a higher purpose: service to others.Don’t take for granted what you can do don’t be sloppy with your life.Every action has its price and it’s pleasure.
Don’t give up the one thing you control - your response.There’s never nothing going on (take a look around.).You’re the most important meaning maker in your life. Other people’s perspectives don’t matter as much if you have your own perspective.Enjoy the here and now - that’s the secret.Master the ability to clear you mind and focus on the moment. Trash is anything that keeps you from the only thing that matters which is right here and now.Don’t miss out on what’s going on by letting your mind fill up with noise.Don’t become a victim of your own limiting beliefs. Here are my additional lessons from Peaceful Warrior: You’ll never be better than anybody, the same way you’ll never be any less.Develop the wisdom to use the right leverage at the right time.Clear you mind of everything you don’t need (doubt, past failures, future victories, … etc.) The people that are the hardest to love, probably need it the most.If you get what you want, you still suffer. If you don’t get what you want, you suffer.Don’t fall into the trap - If only I had this, I’d be … If only … I’d get to be happy.
Probably the most important is how to keep getting back up when life knocks you down and how to continue to follow your dreams, even after your world is shattered. Have you seen Peaceful Warrior? It’s a pretty simple movie, and it’s full of lessons.
