Don’t ever think that the reason I am peaceful
is because I don’t know how to be violent.
I have had several people question me about writing my new book, The Art of Inner Peace. They question whether writing a book on inner peace somehow is in conflict with the way of the warrior that I have taught for years. The answer is absolutely not!
True warriors have more inner peace than most people. They have disciplined themselves over many years of training, are at peace with the fact that their physical body will die one day, and live life with self-confidence and a positive self-esteem. These men and women have a calm confidence in what they can do physically, and are at peace mentally and spiritually.
The true warrior lives his life by a specific code, a certain set of principles that he maintains for himself. He (or she) knows what he stands for, and what he will not stand for. The warrior lives by his own standards, and doesn’t give much weight to other people’s opinions on what he should or should not do. He knows that life is short, so he lives his life his own way, not allowing others to dictate his actions.
He is aware, but happy and carefree. He is not easily manipulated, as he makes it a point to look deeper into everything which affects his life. The warrior understands other people and what makes them tick; at the same time, he walks in peace, never looking for trouble, not stressed or worried about what may happen, but always ready to respond to whatever may come his way.
I do not see that The Art of Inner Peace clashes with the warrior lifestyle in any way. To me, living a life of inner peace is an integral component of the warrior lifestyle, just as much as meditation and physical training. The true warrior seeks to live a life of balance and always prefers peace over stress, confusion, or violence.
Most of you have seen the old saying, “Don’t ever think that the reason I am peaceful is because I don’t know how to be violent.” This absolutely applies to the warrior. The true warrior never wants to resort to violence, but he will do whatever it takes to keep himself, his loved ones, and those around him safe, and he will maintain his inner peace regardless of what action he must take.
The bottom line is, just because I teach on how to develop and maintain your inner peace, that doesn’t mean that I can’t, or won’t, kick your ass. It means that if I kick your ass, you not only asked for it, but you absolutely deserve it and left me with no other option. And I will maintain my inner peace after doing it.
Don’t ever think that the reason I teach inner peace is because I forgot how to be violent. I have many tools at my disposal, and there is a specific time and purpose for each of them. The fact that I don’t use each tool every day doesn’t mean that I forgot how to use them. Warrior up and live a life of inner peace!
