The warrior always manages to balance Rigour and Mercy. To attain his dream he needs to have a strong will – as well as an immense capacity of self-surrender.

Although he has an objective, the road to reach it is not always the one he imagines, so he has to use discipline and compassion. God never abandons  – but the designs of Providence are unfathomable.

So, for the warrior nothing is abstract. Everything is concrete and everything concerns him.

Some of his companions spend their lives criticizing the lack of options or commenting on the decisions of others. The warrior, however, turns his thoughts into action.

Sometimes he makes mistakes, and pays the price of his error. Other times he strays from the path and wastes a lot of time getting back to the original destination.

But a warrior does not become distracted, because he knows what he is looking for.

Acting too soon, or ......

They will sound sincere. They may sound apologetic.

They may come with a reason that sounds plausible or perfectly innocent.

But don't be taken in again, whatever you do.

THEY WILL NOT HAVE CHANGED. THERE IS STILL THE SAME DYSFUNCTION WORKING WITHIN THEM.

THERE IS STILL THE EVIL ATTACHED TO THEM EXACERBATING THEIR DISEASE.

THEY ARE STILL BLAMING YOU FOR WHAT HAPPENED.

THEY ARE STILL BLAMING YOU FOR THEIR BAD BEHAVIOUR.

Underneath the mask they feel they have done nothing wrong.

If you go back you are subjecting yourself to unnecessary dramas.

If you go back you will have to go through another round of devastating heartbreak.

There is nothing surer than this (aside from death).

you have come too far to go back to something so ugly.

YOU HAVE GAINED SO MUCH MORE RESPECT FOR YOURSELF NOW TO PUT YOURSELF THROUGH A MOMENT MORE OF THAT MISERY.

You have learnt so much about yourself and how you want to be treated.

You have a wonderful future ahead of you if you will only close this door for good.

You deserve much better and through the lessons learnt, YOU WILL FIND IT, as long as you remain TRUE TO YOUR CAUSE AND TRUE TO YOURSELF.
