Peaceful Warrior

I watched this movie the very first day I came out of the hospital... Great movie... and it is not a cheap/cheesy Socratistic movie, it is just one of those movies that can give you some thought/inspiration/new perspectives... perhaps you can become a Peaceful Warrior too... these are some quotes that stayed with me:

I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside...

A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does !

The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination

The ones who are hardest to love are usually the ones who need it the most.

The time is now, the place is here. Stay in the present. You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for.

You haven't yet opened your heart fully, to life, to each moment. The peaceful warrior's way is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability--to the world, to life, and to the Presence you felt. All along I've shown you by example that a warrior's life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about love. Love is a warrior's sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.

If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.

Where are you? Here. What time is it? Now. What are you? This moment.
