Yes Thelma, I’ve known Libras are very indecisive… Interesting how there are such similarities between signs. The stars and the planets definitely do influence a body at the time of birth! no?

Dear Rose and Annie regarding .. plans Libras, the Scales, have always a second plan, a second choice, a second thought and are …. always weighing, wasting our lives in …indecision, then we lose the … train..
A paradigm to be … avoided!! ;]
LOVE,
Thelma.

Dearest Paul from Austria, who is ..Petru Simion??

For those who attack us, openly or secretly, as you know, they will for sure receive it back ,, seven times stronger! Because Evil when meets our WHITE AURA ans THOUGHTS returns to … sender.

The same applies to kindness and love.
May you always receive seven times stronger the kindness you give and send to the Universe, dearest Paul.
LOVE,
Thelma.

Planning the fight is a necessary thing.
But does not make the warrior the best, or the winner. Which, in terms of fighting translates to the best. At least for the fight being fought on.

Once you came to the fight with a fight plan, you have to make it happen.
And many times, concentrating too much on the plan, will make you tense, and you will, in fact, lose the battle. And not fulfill the plan.

This is why, a Romanian saying sounds like this:
Socoteala de acasa nu e ca cea de la tirg.
Approx. translation: The planning made at home most often does not fit the reality at the market.
or, to “annoy” Paulo, and Athena, another saying with the same meaning:
Face planul ca tiganul
Approx. translation: He/She makes wishes planning like a gipsy.

Which means, you come to the battle with a plan, cause it is better to have one, rather then having none. Or is it … ?
It is better, if you know that once your battle plan, and eventually plan 2, if plan 1 did not worked out, both fail. You have to FIGURE OUT THE PLAN AS YOU GO.
or else YOU ARE TOASTED :-)

My opinion is that a fighter fights the best when he/she is in THE ZONE.
Being in the zone, means that one figures out on the spot, what type of plan, or improvised plan to put to action, in order to win.
It is a matter of having the skills and HAVING THE INSTINCT.

I have been, for a while, like 7 years, a ski instructor.
And I have learned that you could teach people to sky in two major fashions.
One was to be very explicit, and for those students, you had to stay behind the student, and vocally explain what they were doing right or wrong, and attempt by that to teach them.
The other way, the only way in fact, was that the student was what we called “monkey see, monkey do”. So one had to briefly explain, too much wording would kill the instinct, and make the student think too much. Then ski in front of the student, and just let the student “monkey you”.
If you were good enough, the student has had a good copy to clone, and once learning from you, to go on, and enhance with his/her own capabilities.
But isn’t this what Athena let Andrea learn ?
:-)

And that goes not only if you learn skiing, tennis or … astronomy.

You have it or not.
And if you do not, move to something that you have it for.

After all if you have the gift of Poker you do not want to waste your time on -29 degrees celsius, just because the BEST POWDER IN THE WORLD IS THERE, and you just learned to float on powder.
:-)

pity witty and shitty… Nice Santosh!!
A warrior plans his fight. If the warrior is not fighting, he does not need a plan, A, B, C or D. No need for plans if there is no will to fight!

I have a Master’s degree in planning, but have come to the conclusion, it is best is to fly where the Holy Spirit takes me :)

Yes
to plan the fight
& not become a victim
of the surroundings

The will is free*

Alexandra May 19, 2009 at 1:35 pm

Yes. A good plan must help, but we must leave some place for plans B, because sometime on the battlefield things shall not follow our predictions. But a good clever plan might assure victory, with poor means, against strong enemies. So, mind is more important than force.

Dear all,

-”who is best and who is worst? Maybe no one,
What is best the light from sun or,
the water which runs down the valley or,
the movements of waves of oceans across the island of none,
fighter or warrior or human needs no plan,
to show, he knows his plans in his mind which works, all the time.”

-”Planning fails most of the times and alternatives work most of the times.”

-”Warrior is equal and he needs no plan to see sequel,
He can fight the battle in rituals,
In days of light or in dreams of darkness,
with an angel who send him signals,
in gloomy days or groovy nights with mutual demons,
Wake up, Warriors, wake up and go for it,
believe in your self, believe in you,
what matters most is protecting you from enemy which lies
within you, which obstructs your construction,
destroy it with your creation.., wake up warrior..
Oh Oh Oh…, :Yes,,, Yes…, I can see you…,
Wake up…, Yes Warrior…, Yes,,, Woke up…!!! ”

-”Unexpected happenings, sufferings, events and actions and beyond human’s imaginations, remains mysterious and puzzle yet to solve by tiny little brain of human at delusion.”

-”Maybe there is no best or worst,
Let us assume, everybody is best,
Let us not create differences,
Although difficult to measure or suspect,
All is equal, equality lies above duality,
Finding oneness in every deeds and creativity,
World is One, everything should be One,
When there is oneness, I know, We will overcome
pain, sufferings, sadness and fights of violence
which remains pity, witty and shitty…., ”

God bless you all !

It is crucial in any fight (body///mind///spirit) to be well acquainted with your surroundings and to have as much as possible information concerning your opponent.

Tactics are the alpha and omega of every fight.

The wol’s “andartiko” is not a “game” it is serious and the possibilities of fatalities (collateral damage) are always taken into considerations before any action is initiated.

The best “andartiko” is not fighting — but compassion .Remember you are your number one opponent (ego) – and then come the “others”…

… Many have fallen into the trap of fighting whispers…

If there is anything like a “good” fight, it for sure is not about losing or wining, evil or good, light or dark, love or hate …and I do not know if enthusiasm will suffice…

Please do not forget one the most lethal weapons you own is your word – spoken or unspoken —written or unwritten… So once done — it is done and there is no playback or delete button to push….never underestimate the value of silence.

So be sure you know why, what or whom you are fighting (for).

With loving kindness,

Satora
