Warrior or Wimp?

The book of life we are all writing should be titled something like the title of this post. The thing we should first establish is which of thee two we are.  Sure I know, everyone is awesome, everyone is a Warrior, everyone is the bomb.com. (Kate 2.0 said that and I cant get it out of my head!! It’s so high school..) The truth is not evryone is all of these cool things.  Some people are negative.  Some people lack vision. (most people actually) Some people even love and feed off of tearing you down as a person.  It’s sad that people are so foolish and misguided, but its the truth.

Might I suggest you use these questions to guide you through this self discovery process, and in answering the question: Are you a Warrior, or are you a Wimp?
-Have you ever started a project that failed, and you came back and tried again?
-Have you ever looked up a mountain knowing you have never climbed a mountain, yet you tried it anyways?
-Have you ever had someone tell you an idea was crazy and would not work but you gave it a shot regardless?
-Have you ever played a sport that could jeopardize your health simply for the love of the game?
-Have you ever become so passionate about something that it consumes you for a moment?
-Have you ever cried after loosing?
-Have you ever watched an athlete and you could see they loved what they were doing just by the look of intensity on their face?

If you answered YES to any or all of these questions you are a WARRIOR.

-Have you ever told someone their idea was stupid?
-Have you ever thought of a really great idea that you believe in with all your energy but never done anything with it because you are afraid to fail?
-Do you act and do things because off what others think of you, or say to you?
-Have you spoken ill of someone behind their back, and when you see that person you act like their friend?
-Have you ever been passionate about something, but when struggles arise you throw in the towel and say it was a foolish idea from the beginning?
-Do you laugh when seeing someone fail or struggle?
-Have you, or do you try to sabotage others in order for you to succeed?
-(Most Important Question!) Do you lie?

If you answered YES to any or all of these questions you are a WIMP.

This of course is the gospel according to yours truly, and I can not make you better as a person nor can I solve the wolds problems, but remember something when you read this.  Like it or not these questions have validity and these questions are ones that can quickly and clearly define who you are as a person.  Some will read this and say what the hell do you know pal? Some will read this and comment that I’m an idiot, an angel, even the most handsome man alive.  Deep down though every single person reading this will have to answer these questions on their own, when no one is looking at us or around us, and that is the point of truth we all must face.  Its late at night when you cant sleep and you are staring at the ceiling that these questions will hit you.  It’s typically through experiences involving one of these questions that we can determine a lot about a person.  Its at that moment when you decide to be a WARRIOR or a WIMP.

Talk is cheap.  Action is power.
Gossip is easy.  Honesty is liberating.
Average is the majority.  Vision is the future.

Warriors are everywhere, and being around them is exhilarating, liberating, motivating and inspiring.
