Balancing Your Warrior Spirit

When we recognize our warrior self we can exhibit strength without sacrificing tenderness.

The human soul is dynamic, adapting readily to the changing conditions we encounter as time marches unerringly forward. Though we may use a single set of characteristics to define ourselves, we slip easily into contradictory roles when circumstances necessitate doing so. When we feel called to explore the way of the warrior, we may feel a strong sense of dismay because we have no wish to disavow ourselves of our softer side. Yet embracing the warrior spirit is not a matter of denying gentleness or compassion–all human beings embody all traits to some degree, and seemingly contradictory aspects can coexist peacefully within us. We can exhibit strength without sacrificing tenderness precisely because both are elements of the self and both have a role to play in the complexity of existence.

Balance is the key that unlocks the door of peaceable coexistence where opposing characteristics of the self are concerned. The warrior spirit, when allowed free reign, is overpowering and all-consuming. If it is to be an affirmative force in our lives, it must be tempered with wisdom and moderation. Our inner warriors are ready to react instantly to conflict, chaos, and confusion, while nonetheless remaining committed to a path of goodwill and fairness. They lie at the root of our dedication to integrity but do not drive us to use our strength to coerce others into adopting our values. The warrior may be nourished by raw emotions with the potential to cause us to lash out, but it channels that energy into positive and constructive action.

Your inner warrior is one source of strength you can draw upon in times of great need. When you employ your warrior spirit thoughtfully, it manifests itself as clarity, focus, determination, courage, constancy, and an unflappable zest for life. The warrior views roadblocks as evolutionary opportunities and is not afraid to pursue a purpose to its climax. There is more than enough room in the existence of the warrior for softness and benevolence, and the warrior’s willingness to stand up for their beliefs can aid you greatly as you strive to incorporate these ideals into your existence. Exploring this unique side of yourself is a means of broadening your reality so you can internalize mindfulness while meeting life’s challenges with an intensity of spirit that never wavers.

“Missing You” John Waite

(Missing you)
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
(Missing you)

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here
And you’re miles away
And I’m wondering why you left

And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it’s almost driving me wild

And there’s a heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you
No matter what I might say

There’s a message in the wire
And I’m sending you this signal tonight
You don’t know
How desperate I’ve become
And it looks like I’m losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though I’m trying hard to understand

And it’s my heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you
No matter what my friends say

And there’s a message that I’m sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can’t bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload

I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you
No matter what my friends say

I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I can lie to myself

And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you
No matter what my friends say

Ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I can lie to myself
Ain’t missing you

I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
Ain’t missing you
Oh no

No matter what my friends might say
I ain’t missing you

Paula Abdul – “The Way That You Love Me”

The way that you love me
The way that you love me
The way that you love me
It’s just the way that you love me

The way that you love me
It’s just the way that you love me
The way that you love me
It’s just the way that you love me

It ain’t the clothes that you wear
It ain’t the things that you buy
It ain’t your house on the hill
It ain’t the plane that you fly

It ain’t your black limousine
It ain’t your ninety-foot yacht
It ain’t the things that you’ll get
It ain’t the things that you got

It ain’t the money or the diamond rings
Honey, I ain’t impressed with your material things

It’s the way that you love me
It’s just the way that you love me, baby
The way that you love me
It’s just the way that you love me, babe

It ain’t your friends at the top
It ain’t their fortune and fame
It ain’t your heavy connections
It ain’t the Hollywood game

Ain’t famous people or the parties they throw
Honey, I ain’t impressed with all the people you know

It’s just the way that you love me
(In the heat of the night)
It’s just the way that you love me, baby

It’s just the way that you love me
(When you’re lovin’ me right)
It’s just the way that you love me, baby

It’s just the way that you love me
(And the things that you do)
It’s just the way that you love me, baby

It’s just the way that you love me
(Make me crazy for you)
It’s just the way that you love me, baby

Break it down
That’s right
Keep it right there
I like that
Get tough

It ain’t the money or the diamond rings
Honey, I ain’t impressed with those material things

It ain’t the trips to Brazil
It ain’t the weekends in Rome
It ain’t the French Riviera
You know I’d rather stay home

Ain’t the Bahamas, it ain’t Monaco
Honey, I ain’t impressed with all the places we go

It’s just the way that you love me
The way that you love me, baby
The way that you love me
It’s just the way that you love me, baby

The way that you love me
(It ain’t the money)
It’s just the way that you love me
(Or the diamond rings)

The way that you love me
(Ain’t what you buy my, baby)
It’s just the way that you love me
(Ain’t material things)

The way that you love me
(Ain’t your Maserati)
It’s just the way that you love me
(Your house on the hill)

The way that you love me
(It ain’t the parties)
It’s just the way that you love me
Or your trips to Brazil

Watch me dancing
Watch me dancing
Watch me dancing
I’m watching your, girl, girl
Watch me dancing
Keep a-rocking the world

Watch me dancing
you dance
Go Paula
Watch me dancing

Watch me dancing
I’m watching your, girl
Watch me dancing
