Warriors
WAR·RIOR
noun, often attributive\ˈwȯr-yər, ˈwȯr-ē-ər, ˈwär-ē- also ˈwär-yər\
DEFINITION OF WARRIOR
: a man engaged or experienced in warfare; broadly: a person engaged in some struggle or conflict
I have been thinking about the word WARRIOR for a few weeks now. Athletes are sometimes referred to as warriors when they put everything on the line to win, sometimes at any cost. The media has made some celebrities out to be WARRIORS, people in our lives who we can look up to or admire for their fight to get where they are today. Going to battle is what you may think of a WARRIOR standing up for what they believe.
This is what I have decided; it's not about how much money you make or have; it's not about who you know or where you live. It's all about how much love you have in your heart; it matters. The person who struggles every day to make enough money to feed their family is a WARRIOR. The people who share what they have with the less fortunate are WARRIORS. The single mothers striving to raise beautiful, compassionate children, you are WARRIORS. No matter what type of day they have had, the father and mother bring their family together every night and kneel for family prayer are WARRIORS.
Most WARRIORS don't know they are; they make life easier for those around them without effort. I've seen people in a different light; most people are good and want to share, and most of us want to become WARRIORS. I love Webster's 2nd example of a WARRIOR "a person engaged in some struggle or conflict" do you know anyone in your life without struggle or conflict? I don't; WE ARE ALL WARRIORS in our own right.
