There's a saying “If you don't pay the price for success, you'll pay the price for failure.”⁠ ⁠ So, are you willing to do whatever it takes?⁠ ⁠ #AskingForYou⁠

A gunslinging outlaw from the Old West, where the sun sets, and a sword wielding ronin (Samurai without a Lord or Master) from the Edo Period, in the land of the rising sun. No matter who stands as the superior warrior, these are the five qualities of the rebellious anti-hero yours truly gravitates towards: 1) Life is one’s greatest obstacle, guaranteed to present more lows than highs. Whether one chooses to become a wolf, adapting with its’ pack, or to be a sheep waiting to be preyed on, the former is where one’s evolution truly begins. 2) To have lived a life of pain, hardships, and endless conflicts, can allow one to find their inner strength, but that also means they repress any personal demons from their past, very much like an unsheathed sword which has yet to return to its’ sheath. 3) To live by one’s own code, morals, philosophies, and personal beliefs, never bound by the systems, laws, or authorities that dictates the ways of man, is an admirable quality few truly possess, which is free will. Challenging one’s fate and believing in oneself, that is the path of a true warrior. 4) There’s no such thing as purely good and purely evil, especially in a world where the darkest of intentions resides within the “gentlest” of Man. How far one limits themselves from ever crossing boundaries of no return, is yet another challenge life has to offer. 5) “Every tale that has a beginning has an end.” So too does the journey one embarks on. Some journeys are for fame, fortune, or unfinished business(es). As far as yours truly is concerned, much like the paths the outlaws and ronins had walked, I’ve yet to discover my own purpose, living everyday to the best of my abilities, as others should. 😄👊🏻 #WaysOfTheWarrior #WalkThePath #AnOutlawAndRonin #WhereTheSunRisesAndSets #SelfDiscovery #JourneyOfMan https://www.instagram.com/p/BmRlhPjhOsa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=134d9dh47tigz
