A thought regarding the "Warrior's Mentality"

[Master Mikeal 'Bear' Smith]

You can physically train to be a martial artist and practice martial art philosophies in life but there is something within each of us that either prevents or allows us to actually apply, in reality, a warrior's mentality to physical actions; this allows us to walk through the proverbial "valley of death" or, as some would say, "today is a good day to die". Those without so called martial training can be warriors as well; try stopping a mother from protecting her children and most likely you will be facing a fierce warrior.

Note that the willingness to die is an attitude or mindset, not a desire, and is wasted if not used for an honorable cause or reason which is defined by each of us and by the morals by which we live.
