The Warrior (Part 10)

Becoming Unshakeable

“An unsettled mind is either worrying about the future or traveling into the past, getting lost in thought” — Shi Heng Yi

The Warrior’s practice

hones mind and body

to become unshakeable

His way is to be hardened.

Seeking resilience,

for the challenges battle will bring.

His training pushes him to his edge.

To create a new edge.

To expand self-limiting boundaries.

Through disciplined practice,

He cultivates new resolve.

Recalibrating; resetting past beliefs.

He sharpens senses.

He readies his body.

He stills his mind.

But the battlefield is only

one part of living.

Even for a Warrior.

So his practice

Must serve him,

In all walks of life.

His practice must make him,

Unshakeable.

To flow, to crash. To do what must be done.

This path he walks,

day in, day out.

This is the Way of the Warrior

The Warrior’s heart is pure.

The Warrior’s focus is resolute.

The Warrior flows with the challenges that life brings.

The Warrior is tapped into a higher purpose.

The Warrior will move forward.

Awaken the Warrior within you. Awaken your own Warrior of Light.
