Mindset : The Warrior vs The Soldier Over the past few months I have to admit that Ive been feeling burnt out on the progress towards my goals especially the one of achieving financial freedom. Waking up in the morning to prospect for new clients , going to the gym to beat my last deadlift, to run faster than my last 5km, to buy another property, to do more personal development than yesterday - fellow dream chasers, holla if you feel me :-D Why am I doing this to myself ? - I thought To Be the Best I Can Be. To Take Every Opportunity. To Never Give Up - To Never Settle Then why the burn out, why the struggle, and why the Pain of the Process rather than the Joy of the Journey ! If your a dream chaser youve been here before. The Certainty of your Vision, Purpose and Passion have been tested by the storm of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Today - I had a blue sky moment ! What if ive been living the last few years as a Solider ie disciplined, methodical, clinical, surgical and systematic in the process of achievement. The solider does as he is told, follows the process, never questions authority and is good at taking orders. What if I could live as a Warrior or Bushido. Where all that matters is progress, perfection of technique, every trial is lesson, and every battle is a school ground. Where goals are important but fleeting and momentary. The journey and discovery of self is the real prize. To move past emotion and the illusion of victory and defeat. The way of Awareness, Becoming & Being. Self knowledge is the goal. Where the state in which you practice and learn is everything. There is never failure - only feedback. Then all obstacles are on the way and never in the way. The Effort is still Present - but the Struggle is no more... I Choose Warrior! May the Force Be with You All :-D Thank you - to my teachers :) Robb Whitewood - for bringing to my awareness what I have known but had forgotten. Nina Concepcion - for the listening to my heart, remembering my intuition and the power in vulnerability Kancho Deena Naidu - for never giving up on this wayward budo-ka! Domo Arigato always
