Heart of a Warrior by Bryant McGill
In your life you may at times feel you have worked so hard, and you have done every single thing you could in your power to earn your way and be a good person. You have given and given and given trying to never keep a score or be a burden to others. You tried so hard to be selfless and tried to believe that good people are rewarded in the end. You turned your doubts into faith and your anger into love after endless failures and betrayals. You pressed forward with positivity. But, maybe things have not turned out the way you had hoped yet, and you have found yourself in a low place. You looked around and said, "I have helped people, who will help me? I have been so good." In these moments it is tempting to ask, "where is my break; what about karma or God does anyone care? Is everything in life for nothing? Is any of it worth it?" It is so easy to want to give-up in times of failure and disappointment in what seems like an endless struggle. We can become depressed and dis-couraged, which means we have lost our courage. In painful moments of dire discouragement, please know that your soul has a resiliency and a capacity to endure suffering that is beyond anything you can imagine. Even the softest and sweetest heart was made by design for extreme battle. Make no mistake about it, no matter how kind, meek, humble and soft your giving heart is you are a warrior! Your strength is beyond your own imagination. The further you are challenged and threatened, the more your warrior heart will emerge. When you are backed into a corner, or someone you love is suffering, or you are hanging by your fingernails over the edge of ruin with the cold, hungry abyss peering into your soul the super-human occurs. Billions of years of dormant survival intelligence will erupt from every pore. You don't have to be strong, because the strength is in you; it's in your DNA, in your soul and your essence. You would not believe what skill, power and ability your total intelligence possesses until you are in desperate need. So, do not despair. Have faith. It is going to work out and you will be delivered. You have the heart of a warrior and you were designed to survive! - Bryan McGill |

A quote from Twiztid
"I'm in the struggle looking to fight for the right to be more than just alright..and I'm looking for more light so I can see what they got in store for my life. ''- Twiztid

Ohhhh! Is that what that's about? See? I had no idea; and to think I was starting to wonder if something was wrong with me. :facepalm: Thanks for clearing that up, Rumi! I feel much better now, lol. |
Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way. ― Eileen Caddy |

Hmmm....
It is such a mistake to assume that practising dharma will help us calm down and lead an untroubled life; nothing could be further from the truth. Dharma is not a therapy. Quite the opposite, in fact, dharma is tailored specifically to turn your life upside down its what you sign up for. So when you life goes pear-shaped, why do you complain?
-Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche I'm going to need to ruminate on this one for a little while - not sure how I feel about what he is stating here, though I do acknowledge at least some truth inherent in it. |
