Youth – Resilience

Because Warriors are Resilient – They are young forever. Combine that with the far-seeing wisdom of planning and experience and you have a Superpower.

Warriors Preserve the Hope of Youth – Hope is the warrior’s religion. Life will always win out, will grow even against despair.

Warriors Preserve the Joy of Youth – Fighting difficult battles (even with oneself) means the relaxation afterwards feels extra delicious. Warriors can play with anyone because they are still their child-like selves. That is part of what we are fighting for.

Warriors Never Give Up – Surrendering can be a strategy. It is not giving up. There may be snow on the roof but there is plenty of fire in the fireplace. Sometimes, however, it is good to keep our fires to ourselves. We know how to bide our time.
