There Is No Try


All problems have a solution.
Focus on the solution and not the problem itself.
Focusing on the problem will only create negative thoughts and worries.
And that will get you nowhere.
Be positive and completely focus on finding your solution.

"Do, or do not. There is no try."

The Dog and the Wolf


A gaunt Wolf was almost dead with hunger when he happened to
meet a House-dog who was passing by. "Ah, Cousin," said the Dog.
"I knew how it would be; your irregular life will soon be the ruin
of you. Why do you not work steadily as I do, and get your food
regularly given to you?"

"I would have no objection," said the Wolf, "if I could only
get a place."

"I will easily arrange that for you," said the Dog; "come with
me to my master and you shall share my work."

So the Wolf and the Dog went towards the town together. On
the way there the Wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of
the Dog's neck was very much worn away, so he asked him how that
had come about.

"Oh, it is nothing," said the Dog. "That is only the place
where the collar is put on at night to keep me chained up; it
chafes a bit, but one soon gets used to it."

"Is that all?" said the Wolf. "Then good-bye to you, Master
Dog."


Better starve free than be a fat slave.

Warrior Of The Light

A Warrior of the Light knows that he has much to be grateful for.

Angels help him in his struggle; celestial forces place each thing in its place, thus allowing him to give it his best.

His companions say: "He's so lucky!" And the warrior does sometimes achieve things far beyond his capabilities.

That is why, at sunset, he kneels and gives thanks for the Protective Cloak surrounding him.

His gratitude, however, is not limited to the spiritual world; he never forgets his friends, for their blood, mingled with his on the battlefield.

A Warrior does not need to be reminded of the help given him by others. He is the first to remember and he makes sure to share with them any rewards he receives.

by: Paulo Coelho


My favorite part of that excerpt is 'he never forgets his friends, for their blood, mingled with his on the battlefield.' I have never been on a battlefield, but I do respect and completely understand the bonds that an environment like that can forge.

My best friend is a guy who I trained with for years. We would, daily, take on whatever challenge our training brought. We constantly pushed each other through it.
Facing those challenges together turned a friend into a brother.

Growing up my Dad constantly took my brother and I climbing, hiking, skiing, whitewater rafting and pretty much anything else that can be done outdoors. Together, going through the struggles that those adventures brought, created a bond between the three of us that can not be explained.

Whenever a person overcomes any great obstacle, they inevitably become stronger.
So when two, three or more people pass through a challenge together, not only do they individually grow stronger but the bond between them grows as well.
Creating a powerful force.

Be grateful for your friends.
Be grateful for your Brother and Sisters who have spilt blood and sweat with you. They're the ones who will stand by your side, even when the force of a thousand approaches.

Warrior of the LIght
