What made you choose to participate in Warrior Being? What is the significant breakthrough you have had because of Warrior Being? What was the specific TOOL or teaching that you applied to achieve this breakthrough? What actually changed in your life (before and after)?
I came to Warrior looking to be fixed after the "failure" of three serious relationships, and a lifetime of wondering what was so wrong with me that I could not lead the life I so desired. I came into it skeptical, resigned that it would do nothing for me and that yet again I was wasting my time, and this time perhaps getting myself into a dangerous situation.
The attitude I came into Warrior with I eventually learned was the way I approached all aspects of my life - being judgmental and fearful. The implications of this attitude were that I constantly escaped from living and experiencing life by creating stories and dramas to "protect" myself from facing the outcomes I feared the most. What I didn't realise was that I was manifesting those very outcomes by trying to "protect" myself with my yarns and dramas - be it loneliness, a break-up, failing an exam or not getting past an interview for a job or scholarship. This was my biggest breakthrough in Warrior - the realisation that I am responsible for everything that takes place in my life - not God, not my parents, not my teachers, not my partners past or present, not my friends - I alone am the director of my life. I cannot attribute this realisation to one tool or to one person...being in Warrior, consistently having authentic conversations, drawing upon members of the community when I felt lost and practicing the various tools shared with us are the reason I came to this realisation...Warrior is not a magic pill or instant solution to your problems - it is the choice to live powerfully and takes both patience and practice to master. I have fallen and escaped several times...but the truth is that on the journey to greatness, one will fall...sometimes several times...but it is you who chooses to pick yourself up and continue living powerfully, and that is the choice I have made. My fears still exist...but I no longer have to make them my reality, I have the choice to succumb to them or to acknowledge them and then let go and continue on with my life.
