Question:
Théun, I am not too afraid to face my challenges, but sometimes I find my resolve to keep going on begins to wane and waver. Why is this so? Is it just a lack of courage?
Théun’s Guidance:
In treading the Path with a Heart our hearts often take us down dark tunnels that the little self would much rather avoid! But the darkness is only ever the RESULT of the LIMITED vision of the little self! It is invariably always at times like these when we need to remember that the only failure in life is the failure to fight! If in these moments one scrapes together one’s courage and one’s strength, and just takes the plunge in following one’s heart, it is never TOO long when from out of the darkness ahead one begins to see a glimmer of light at the other end of the tunnel. Sooner, or later the darkness of the tunnel suddenly yields to the brightness of a new journey that is ALWAYS far more breathtaking and marvelous than anything one could have IMAGINED! :) Herein for me lies the BEAUTY and the POIGNANCY in treading a Path with a Heart, and it is also herein that lies the MEANING of what it is to be a warrior!
What has often helped me in facing dark tunnels that have made me shiver and shake in my boots is to recall how very EASY, but unfulfilling it is to WALK the wide and paved boulevard that is so loved by most of humanity, but that it takes the MOOD and the SPIRIT of the warrior to DANCE the narrow razor-edged path and LIVE to tell the tale! :) Plodding along a boulevard is burdensome and boring! But to SURVIVE the narrow razor-edged path means having to be ALIVE every inch of the way! How then can I, or any warrior for that matter, exchange being ALIVE for being BORED? If we are to die in twenty years time, then why not next month, or next week, tomorrow, or in the next hour? I would rather LIVE now and die tomorrow, than to EXIST for the next twenty years! :)
