Even if the headlines suggest otherwise, the truth is that we are living in the most peaceful time in human history. There is less conflict today than ever before in history and most of us in the West have a roof over our heads, food to eat and hardly have to worry about our lives as we walk down the street.
For this reason, many of us have become "soft". Many of us have forgotten what it means to fight for what we want or need. Many of us like to rest, watch rubbish on TV and eat ourselves into a coma at the end of each day. We definitely feel stress, but not in the same way we used to. Still, it's important to cultivate a fighting attitude. There are still battles to be fought, and the benefits of being taught discipline, drive and a code of honour can be enormous. There are many motivations to continue learning, growing and improving.
To become a modern warrior, you need to be prepared for any obstacle that might stand in your way. This includes being able to defend and fight for your loved ones. It also means having the ability to shape your circumstances rather than being determined by them. So keep learning, improving and challenging yourself. Even if the storm doesn't come, be prepared. Become an unstoppable force for good in your own life.
These are some of the skills and abilities that will help you...
Meditation can help you to concentrate and become more aware.
Many of us go through life as if in a trance, thinking about things that have nothing to do with our current situation. We daydream about the tasks we have to do at work. We think about our debts and our jobs. The warrior, on the other hand, takes a different approach. The warrior is prepared for anything that may happen and is ready to respond to a crisis. And they devote all their concentration and focus to the task at hand. Practise meditating to get to this point. This will improve your ability to focus and concentrate and will also bring other benefits.
YouTube is a useful source of knowledge.
The Warrior is completely self-sufficient and can make do with the resources at his disposal. Learn the basics of plumbing, mechanics and electrical engineering and don't hesitate to solve problems yourself instead of relying on others. Have a look on YouTube and give it a try.
Travel without amenities.
When we become parents is one of the moments when we go into 'warrior mode' in our daily lives. Parents are able to function without worrying about sleep deprivation. They use extremely little energy because they prioritise the needs of others over their own. This is the true mark of a warrior. Learn to sacrifice sleep and other comforts in order to lead a less comfortable existence. You will learn to make do when travelling with very little.
