The true warrior knows that you control your own experience. It is all in your mind. Knowing this means that you have unlocked one of the biggest and best-kept secrets of success. The ability to control your experience! How?
It’s simple.
Remember that, in every moment, you have two choices. Choice number one: change your mindset and come to a new belief. Choice number two: change your behaviour, and act as if you have a new belief.
Actually there is a third choice: just keep doing what you have been doing, believing what you’ve been believing, and enjoying that closed-minded experience. There is a principle that is a bar against all information, that is proof against all arguments, and which can keep a man or woman in everlasting ignorance. That principle can be explained with a single phrase, attributed1 to Herbert Spencer2 … contempt prior to investigation.
What does this all mean to the true warrior? It means that what you see is all there is (WYSIATI) is not a true statement. The truth is this: what you think is all that matters (WYTIATM)! Let’s think about it. If believing is seeing, then what you see is what you believe, but the key point here is that it is what’s in your mind that matters. Pay attention! Can you see the difference(s)? The true warrior works hard to embrace all the adversity they face. He or she creates new thoughts and behaviours that will completely revise and translate the experience into one that is meaningful to them, and that is true and authentic power.
You are warriors, and have the power to either control your experience or not. The choice is yours. You can manifest an experience of epic proportions, upon which legends will be based. So it has been written.
