        Once we are aware of our warrior nature, this adventure becomes somewhat easier. Humankind is imbued with a natural drive to continue, to persevere, to reach toward the summit of our character even when we are face with great obstacles.

        When we treat this journey itself as a meditation our trek becomes that much more meaningful. Life is filled with the light that each of us carries. A light built from an exceptional character that we create by the strengths within.

       





Summit of Integrity


Displaying the qualities
upon which everything else relies,
a sound character is our most valuable asset.

Character stands at the summit of integrity.
It stems from right-thinking,
built on ideals loved and treasured,
from knowledge and experience.

Patience and resolve are its foundations;
grace, courage, virtue among its keystones.
Character is malleable;
time and effort mark the clay.
Building character is continuous.
