Preparation.  This word has many different meanings depending on the circumstances, however, I wanted to focus this post on how a warrior prepares him/her self for any goals.  Looking at history, warriors from any conflict made careful plans and gathered intelligence on the opponent, conditions, etc.  Do we sometimes take a “wait and see” approach, or do we seek guidance?  It is easy, especially when completing tasks we have done before, to fall into the complacency of  not preparing.

Life is dynamic and ever changing.  Although performing mundane tasks may appear that way, do as warriors would do and do some proper preparation.  If you ever noticed that when airline pilots are preparing to take an aircraft to the sky, that there is a checklist of items to do pre-flight.  Experienced aviators know that the safety of themselves and their passengers demand a full check that all systems are functioning properly.  Do yourself the same and always put some preparation into whatever personal performance goals you pursue in life.  Go be a warrior today

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.
