Quotes from the same author

“To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life.”
“The essence of warriorship, or the essence of human bravery, is refusing to give up on anyone or anything.”
The ideal of warriorship is that the warrior should be sad and tender, and because of that, the warrior can be very brave as well.
Just fully being skillful involves total lack of inhibition. We are not afraid to be. We are not afraid to live. We must accept ourselves as being warriors. If we acknowledge ourselves as warriors, then there is a way in, because a warrior dares to be, like a tiger in the jungle.
What the warrior renounces is anything in his experience that is a barrier between himself and others. In other words, renunciation is making yourself more available, more gentle and open to others.
