My guess… You didn’t get past the first question. If you did, how did you answer it? Did you answer it in terms of wealth? “I want to be rich.” “I want to be wealthy.” Did you answer it in terms of emotion? “I want to be happy.” “I want to be successful.” Maybe you answered it in terms of something you wish to become. “I want to be a X, Y or Z.” “I want to be stronger, prettier, better.”
What does that mean… exactly? What are the exact, precise and incredibly well-defined terms of what you want? What is the thing that you wish for most and how can you spell it out in visceral detail? Even more so, why do you think you DON’T deserve it. How do your own beliefs stop you?
The path of the Warrior Poet is not measured by successes or failures, it is measured by whether you decide to continue the journey. But no journey can begin with a direction so general that knowing if you are on the path or not is completely unknowable.
You define your path ONLY when you define your destination. You cannot walk a path if you have no place to go. You can only wander, and if you wander then you will likely end up in the same place again and again. A man without direction is destined to walk in circles.
Is your life path met with the same consistent issues? Are your personal relationships carrying the same consistent problems/issues?
Is happiness something you don’t think about? Do you think you even deserve to be happy? Did you just shrug your shoulders and say “sure, whatever, I’m happy,” to yourself?
Perhaps you see the forest floor in front of you and believe it is a path. Perhaps the ground underfoot has a trail upon which you walk. Perhaps even more, that trail is there because you blazed it years ago and are walking upon it yet again. Do you walk in circles without knowing it? Do you really want to answer that question?
The way of the Warrior Poet can help you. The path is not hidden, you will hide it from yourself no longer.
Find success, health and happiness in all aspects of your life. The Warrior Poet path can provide you with the necessary tools to become the person you aspire to be in the mirror.
You can achieve strength of body, heart and mind. You can achieve success in all aspect of life. You can accept happiness because you will learn that deserving happiness is a trick we teach ourselves in order to limit ourselves.
The ultimate question a warrior poet must answer is simple. But… you must first know HOW to ask the question.
