Becoming a Warrior of the Mind

Becoming a Warrior of the Mind


The mind is the ultimate battlefield, where the strongest of fighters are tested, and many fall. Do not believe the mind is easy to tame, for you must become a strong hero to overcome the mind's enemies. They come at you in the most subtle of disguises. The problems we fight in this broken world are the same that we have battled against throughout all of time: greed, poverty, lust, violence, crime, drugs, alcohol, and many more. How are we supposed to carry the burdens of this world upon our shoulders? We must learn effective techniques to strengthen our mind, body, and soul. You must have a fighting spirit to defeat the battles fought inside the mind, for your foes are infinite.

What is our Weapon?


Our weapon to defeat the enemies of the mind and become a true warrior of the mind is none other than the mind itself. The mind is more than a tool, for it is the sharpest blade a true warrior has at his disposal. We must clean and sharpen our mind constantly, for it can defeat many new foes as it's strengthened. We are not mere meek creatures, for the fighting spirit is inside each and every man and woman. We can learn the intricacies of the mind, as it is also the vessel of great woe. Only careful self-exploration will reveal both our own strength and weakness. We have nothing to worry about, for the weakness of the mind is like an imperfection of the sword that can be hammered out. There is so much in our life that we are unsure of, and we cannot help that. Those ignorances must be straightened out, though. Any naivity can cost you many problems that will weigh down your psyche and inner being.


Shielding the Mind


The mind must be shielded to have any hope of defending against life's titans. Our enemies, the titans of old, come at us slyly in the form of what appears as good things. We have so many decisions to make in life, and any time we are not clinging to enlightenment is an error. There is nothing this broken world has to offer that is good. Our mind is constantly under fire with moral dilemmas. "Should I do this?" is what our conscience always asks, but in reality we should ask "Why would we want to do this?" There is no limit to the possibilities of this life, and each one presents its own unique challenge. The only way we can hope to defeat our mind's own natural inhibition is to properly shield it. We must surround ourselves with what is wholesome and endearing to us. We must constantly think of our loved ones and the enlightenment we do have. The enlightened mind is the ultimate one, and I believe loved ones, whether they be any or all of our lovers, friends, and family are the key. The conscious mind thinks constantly of those who in which we love. They are what armors our mind, and prepares us to be victorious in each battle we face, be it in mind or spirit, body or soul.


Conclusion

We must shield and defend our mind constantly if we truly are ever to become a warrior of the mind, the greatest warrior ever. Do not believe our enemies are ones of flesh and bone, for they are ones of evil and depraved thoughts. They will attack you in hordes, and you will have no allies as you fight for your life. Be ready, be strong, and defend yourselves. You will defeat the mind's foes.
