Warrior’s Mind

A trained warrior will have a soft front and a strong back

He will meet the world with the soft front

Showing courtesy, patience, kindness, tolerance and compassion

So this is not weak

It’s supported by the strong back 

With hidden resolve, determination and cultivated strength and power

Because it’s cultivated, he is not subject to his emotions

They are disciplined and therefore a part of his power

His mind is aware, focused, sensitive and capable of great intensity

He is able to ‘switch’ from soft to hard in an instant 

He doesn’t require a build up of anger or anxiety 

And he can switch back in an instant

Because he has control

This is maintained through mindfulness

Watching his mind, emotions and reactions constantly 

That way he is never ‘caught out’ by a sudden swell of emotion

And he can’t be triggered

That is the real skill of a trained warrior.
