As a Man Thinketh : Warrior Chronicles
On episode 136 Rafa breaks down the reason why the way you think about yourself is crucial for your development.
In our society many people trade their soul with the devil. They do this because they view themselves less than adequate. They think that in order to be better than the person next to them they need to do things that are dishonorable and downright nasty...
Many have lost their way because of their actions. They have lost their families and jobs.
As Rafa points out, the grass is not always greener on the other side and most of the time the way you think about yourself has more to do with a lack of disciple than a lack of self confidence.
Living a warrior lifestyle is not easy. You are taught to face your demons and to be prepared for battle at all times. With that said, you will live happier, healthier and more powerful lives if you learn to don your armor and use it effectively day in and day out.
Don't miss this powerful episode.
