It is never too late to admit to yourself that you have been deceiving yourself about your commitment, your efforts, your attitude, or your thinking. Ask yourself if you really are doing the thing that you should be doing first. The true warrior knows that this is not an easy question to answer. One must admit the error of their thinking or their ways, and the ego is loath to do this. The ego hates being wrong. The ego hates being less than the ultimate example of perfection that it thinks it is. The true warrior knows that the ego is not thinking of you, your family, your team, or what’s best for all. The ego only thinks of itself. It defends itself and its creations as vigorously as possible at all times. The true warrior recognizes that, to be true, the ego must be subjugated, so that true humility may be demonstrated. With true humility, the true warrior can do the right thing at the right time, and be confident that when he or she needs to correct their course, there is no internal battle. There is only the acknowledgement that this is now the best way to go and the best thing to be doing.

You are warriors and you will achieve greatness (even though this appears to be a real conundrum) by practising humility. So it has been written.
