The Passage Of The Sincere Warrior

By Jackie Warrior


It is not always easy for the warrior to fight the enemies of deception and false pride. Many times we depend on these modes of being for survival, as a way to get through each day in one piece. However, this is not the path of the sincere warrior who is always searching for the truth that is within.

The first thing to remember is that honesty begins with you. Sometimes the wars that have to be fought are those that are within. Not everyone understands this because they are only concerned with what is taking place around them. They are concerned about living up to a particular image and making sure that no one sees who they really are.

Someone from his past saw him and pointed out to him that he was not the same person he knew from years ago. This revelation exposed him to everyone, revealing his real self to a world that only knew his deceptions. He thought that this was the end of his life, but in a strange way, this visitor from his past caused him to question what he was doing.

Speaking the truth is the path a warrior has to take in order to be successful in all endeavors. It is the only path that leads to happiness because there is no need to hide. There is less work in being honest as oppose to lying to yourself and to everyone else. This is probably the reason why so many people respond positively to sincerity.

When you are successful at being true to who you are and being your best self, there will not be a problem with being honest with others. This does not mean that you have to be rash or harsh with other people. It simply means not being afraid to speak the truth when it is needed most. Being truthful does not mean being negative, even though for some it might seem like you are.

Once Justin became good at being true to himself, he desired to help others who he used to be friends with. He thought they were his genuine friends, but they did not understand his growth and why he wanted to live a positive lifestyle. So they did their best to discourage him. Eventually, he had to stay away from them because they were not interested in improving their lives.

It is best for the warrior to keep their distance with the understanding that in time they can change if they chose to do so. They understand that being truthful is not only about speaking the truth, but it is also about living it as well. By living well, others will be able to see the light as a guide for their own lives.

As the years went by, Justin's life continued to improve because of the decision he made to be happy. He came to be at peace with himself because he decided to be truthful and honest in everything. As a result, he was able to be an influence in the lives of those who truly desired the best for themselves.
