On this Warrior Chronicles we welcome the year speaking about boldness. This is a key component to living a warrior lifestyle. Some may call it being fearless in the face of danger, we call it taking action without the security of knowing what is going to happen when you step into the other side. As we know, fear is the killer of most dreams. The action that destroys fear is boldness. The time is now to take a leap of faith and start taking action in your life. Not every action in your life requires massive research, there are times when you must decide and take action. Being bold and acting on it requires timing. Seize the moment and strike like a Cobra, look forward and never look back. Yes, you may fall on your face sometimes but it beats the shit out of doing nothing and letting life pass you by. As always listen at your own risk. There is still time to put in your application for consideration for the Man of War Crucible on April 10-14.

On this Warrior Chronicles we say Sayonara to 2018 and kill the myth of New Years Resolutions. More than 90% of Americans start of every year with transformational resolutions only to fall back into the rut just a few weeks into the new year. Rafa and Kevo encourage you to take a different approach to setting goals. Stop writing things down and rather capture things with your eyes. Creating a vision through visualization and photos goes along way for keeping you inspired on your journey. Keep photos in front of you so you can see them all the time. Along with other raw strategies this seems to be one that is effective. As warriors we seek constant improvement in everything we do. Whether it be as providers, protectors or leaders, living an exemplary warrior lifestyle is in our DNA. Taking action is the key to creating progression in our lives and maintaining a strong and healthy mindset builds our self- confidence better than anything else. On a final note they discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with good quality people and to pay no attention to the haters out there.
