Flexibility
Sitting in the lodge, the Chief spoke to the Warrior Clan, espress-
ing his wisdom in a way that touched each brave's heart.
"The warrior who understands flexibility will be able to serve
the People to the fullest extent of his abilites. The body must be
strong and agile, limber and conditioned, so it can carry out the
decisions made by the mind. The mind must be quick and focused,
free to make instant decisions that could save a life. The spirit must
be flexible enough to grasp the intent of the Great Mystery, as well
as the visions and Medicine the Spirits bring our way. The warrior
who knows these things and keeps himself flexible will bring honor to the People. The final lesson of any warrior is in understanding the will.
Every warrior must be flexible enough to feel and express the
emotions that come to him, without being governed or controlled by feelings that would lead him to dishonor his solemn vow to be a protector of the People."
If momentary anger or other upsetting emotions could cause you act
rashly, take a breath and be flexible. Feel and release the emotions that cause imbalance. A spiritual warrior seeks balance and solutions in every situation. Your honest intent to be a good role model could be at risk.
