Do you want to become a champion, reach your black belt, and be more successful in your chosen field? Despite all the desire you have to succeed, do you sometimes feel that there are obstacles that seem to keep you from your goal?
You want to succeed. You know you have the potential to get where you want to go in life. But sometimes you feel like there are forces working against you that are keeping you from reaching your goals. If this is a problem you are facing, don't give up. There is hope. The key is to understand the difference between your "light warrior" and your "dark warrior".
I revealed to you, in my last blog post: The Generative Warrior, the formula I use to maximize and increase the sports performance of a practitioner is summarized in this equation:
Excellence or Performance = Potential (4P) - Interference
I like to make an analogy with our potential by comparing it with the light warrior and the interference with the shadow warrior. Both forces are part of us. But favoring one of these warriors over the other will tug at your heartstrings and prevent you from excelling.
We all have a light warrior and a dark warrior. Even though they seem to divide and fight each other, the secret is that they come together to become stronger. This is because they need each other to grow and develop. The light cannot exist without the shadow and vice versa. They are two parts of the same whole.
The warrior of light represents our courage, our determination, our creative unconsciousness and all our potential in the face of adversity. The shadow warrior represents our fears, our doubts, our subconscious and the interferences that are linked to our past memories and our negative imagination. They prevent us from taking risks and trying new things. They both have an important role to play in our lives.
The two warriors may seem to be constantly at odds, but the truth is that they need each other. Without the warrior of light, we would never take risks or venture outside our comfort zones. And without the warrior of darkness, we would constantly run into danger without any caution or planning.
The key is to create a collaboration between the two warriors
Although they always seem to be at odds with each other, they are actually allies. This may seem like a contradiction, but it is actually the key to becoming stronger. By understanding and accepting these two parts of ourselves, we can become greater than we ever thought possible.
Desire and resilience
Determining your desire and obstacles is the secret to getting your creative conscious warrior and your shadow warrior (unconscious) to work together.
The first thing to establish when you have an important goal is to create a POWERFUL DESIRE to achieve the desired goal. This is the power of intention. Set your goals and objectives to get to where you want to be. When you have a strong enough desire, it will begin to influence your thoughts, which will then lead to corresponding actions. As you take action, you begin to move closer and closer to your goal. Your creative conscious warrior will help you move forward, if your shadow warrior does not stop you. For the higher the light warrior's desire to succeed, the more powerful your shadow warrior will be to prevent you from breaking your status quo, the comfort zone you had before you created that desire.
Defining these obstacles and redefining these beliefs is essential for your shadow warrior to collaborate toward the same goal. The clash of these two forces together ignites the spark of your resilience and ignites your desire.
In conclusion, you have a warrior of light and a warrior of darkness. Although they may seem to divide and fight each other, the secret is that they join forces to become stronger. Only then can you become the best version of yourself.
The warriors of light and dark come together to form a stronger whole, giving you access to greater strength and power. By uniting these two warriors, you can become more powerful than by fighting each other.
The first of the 5 pillars of the MAP method, the SUCCESS-DO method gives access to these two forces by working to establish our goals while gathering the necessary information to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
