In the morning of our lives we begin our journey as a Pilgrim, searching for something that we cannot explain. No specific path, just aimlessly across the Canvas set by our Creator. Some will take note of the many colors or different scenery, but the majority remain ‘too busy’ to notice what is truly going on around them.

While they are rushing off to meet their deadlines, they forget to stop and smell the roses or lend a hand to those in need. Instead they often wonder “What about me?” With a sense of entitlement, they begin crushing the roses instead of enjoying them.

The majority subscribe to whatever the masses are feeding them. They join a specific religious group are subscribe to a specific political party, in hopes of finding that magical cure for what is missing deep inside their soul. What is missing? What are we all looking for?

We are all looking for the same thing, but fail to see how easy it is to get it. In order to find this missing piece, to our own puzzle, we need only look within, making a conscious effort to changing our beliefs towards Happiness. We wander until one day we come to a crossroad in our lives or a bridge from the morning of our lives to the afternoon of our lives. Carl Jung discussed that we all reflect on what we did in the morning of our lives and shift towards giving back to humanity. Those who make the shift will find happiness, but those who choose to fight, who we truly are, will remain miserable until their day’s end.

In the afternoon of our lives, those who make the shift enter the path of  a Warrior, standing for what they believe and doing whatever it takes to preserve life in the name of Love and Peace. Those elite Warriors no longer subscribe to falsehoods taught to them, but instead return to the way it was before the beginning and emit only Love. These Warriors are not to be mistaken for savages, but instead are Keepers of Peace. Instead of wondering about what is in it for self, they look for ways to serve their fellow Brothers and Sisters.

While the Pilgrim only sees Himself as the most important being on this planet, the Warrior sees Herself as One with all of Humanity. He does whatever it takes to shine, but She does whatever it takes to get others to Shine.

Are you the Pilgrim still searching to fill a void in your life or are the Warrior who has found the true self?
