Being A Warrior

Being A Warrior

Being a warrior is about going into battle.

But your battle does not have to be in a foreign land.

Your battle can be a test at school, finding the energy to go to work another day, or keeping a creative streak alive.

Whatever it is, I hope you fight like you are on fire with purpose.

This passage reminds me of Resilience, By: Eric Greitens.

Funny, Greitens and Willink are both Navy Seals.

There is a lot more to being a warrior than just being in a war. Warriors are people that stand up for themselves. They face challenges. Warriors work hard to achieve goals. They have the discipline to overcome their weaknesses. Warriors are people that constantly try to test and improve themselves. And yes, war is the ultimate test, but not all warriors go to war.”

-Jocko Willink, The Way Of The Warrior Kid
