Not being able to chose the battlefield is sometimes nerve racking. But it is as it goes also… “you will love your enemy but you will not pack with them.”

Every one of my steps are ordered by God! So when I have entered a battlefield unknown, I am going to look to the Spirit and I am reminded I am trained! I am a Warrior of the Light.

In most cases you can choose nor the time of the battle neither the field it took place.
Often it happens, that you are peacefully walking your way and suddenly arrows are flying around your head and you realize: Shit, I’m in the middle of a battlefield, I can’t flee anymore and I have no weapon. Then you can show, that you are a real good warrior – when you come over you are!

I agree with gee! its all about choice, choose to win or loose ,face it or walk away depend on the situation I guess, it reminds me of that song by Kenny Rodgers ,you,’ve got to know when to hold them and know when to fold them ,know when to walk away ….or know when to run you got count your blessings while standing on the battle field…it will be time enough for counting when the dealings done…Blessing as always Tania

As I wrote before, life is life, and people are people.
We are a part of both and that’s why sometimes we can find ourselves in a middle of something we don’t want.
But it comes with “the package”, so we should accept it and face it.
The more often we face it, the sooner we can come to realize the another one is much easier to handle.
Not because of the situation but because of ourselves.
We become stronger, wiser, more capable of understanding and it’s easier for us to be more tolerant, more stable.
That’s why we shouldn’t be afraid.
There’s this saying:
” if it’ll not kill you, it’ll strengthen you”
for we don’t have the power to control it, we can just hope for the second.

I’m currently reading “The Alchemist” which lead me to this blog, to drop by a quote that made me smile, battle might not the best thing to be in, especially if not chosen! But going through it and winning is the best thing ever!

By winning you are a hero :} and to think back at the times you hoped that a hero would appear in our battle you realize how little you know yourself.

The Alchemist
11 minutes
The Zahir

are on my “to be read” list, the first so far is a pleasant one :) too early to say everything I have about the book but up to the crystal shop, I thank you for the smiles your book drew on my face.
