Over the years, various abilities and disciplines have served as markers and reference points. They serve as reminders about controlling fears, about patiently bearing up against great stress and pains. This has been an outstanding teacher about being steadfast in environments that change at light-speed.
Practicing any kind of inner-strength requiring discipline is seldom easy, yet it can show that we all possess earnest warrior strengths.
Moving toward the disipline of self-control,
by following the myriad paths of merit--
with conscience as guidepost--
we reap rewards on this serpentine way.
Patience and courtesy stem from self-control;
these become reference points,
touchstones on our journey.
By governing obcessive passions and fears,
we distinguish ourselves.
Whoever treks this path disciplined and centered
has warrior courage, warrior strengths.
