April 5th

The true warrior doesn’t get confused. The true warrior doesn’t get misled by the tactics of others. The true warrior stays true to his vision and mission without distraction or confusion. There are those around us who do not want us to succeed. They will consciously or unconsciously attempt to disrupt us or sabotage us. They often have no idea that they are engaging in this behaviour, and may even appear to be trying to be helpful and friendly, but the end result is the failure to achieve your objective. The true warrior sees this behaviour for what it truly is: an attack that requires an effective defence, in order to allow us to accomplish the mission successfully.

Defend yourself against the unintentional saboteur. Pay attention to the signs. Watch for repetitive behaviours in those around you that lead to failure, regardless of intention and effort. Someone may be suffering from the fear of success, and the number one symptom of that is sabotage. Sabotage keeps the syndrome alive and reinforces the negative self-image of the perpetrator. This is an insidious problem that requires much effort on the part of the perpetrator to reverse and eliminate. The true warrior realizes that he or she cannot cure or save those who suffer from this syndrome. All true warriors can do is separate themselves from the saboteurs until they have been treated and cured.

You are warriors—free from sabotage and the fear of success. There are no longer any roadblocks of self preventing you from achieving success. So it is written.
