My Warrior Life

How often as adults do we hear others rationalize or give excuses for really poor choices or behaviors in life?  Sadly, this has become a new pastime for people.  Incredibly, I have heard the most baneful actions (deceit, adultery) by others, be somehow attempted to be rationalized.  When you have made mistakes, own up to them and do not make yourself look worse by somehow attempting to place an excuse or somehow say that you are not wrong in any way.  Have the decency to admit wrongdoing.  You are not denigrating yourself, rather you are showing everyone you can do the right thing.

Living with honor is the true way of the warrior and has been held in high regard since the bedrock of time.  In our hurry up world where we somehow feel that we should have everything we want, it is easy to make a mockery of our honor.  Do not allow yourself to go down this road!  This is one area that you can control.  You may not be able to control everything in life.  Some human urges are sometimes impossible to control.  The error is not in falling victim to the urge, but personal growth and development is enhanced when we own up to things.

Accountability depends on trust. To hold ourselves  to be accountable to self  is to trust your judgment and to believe in the truths and values that we are. It also helps if we can sense that we have our best interests at heart.  Accountability is directly related to the principle of submission. Every person must struggle with the natural tendency toward rebellion.  Accountability involves allowing yourself the permission to struggle and fail sometimes.  Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and go out there in live like a warrior!  Personal growth training occurs during these times of failure.  Use these times not for shame but for some self empowerment.  You are greater than any failure in life.
