The spiritual warrior improves by taking stock of that which is good, and that which needs improvement such as unhealthy habits, self defeating patterns and belief systems.
Observe your own struggles and difficulties with total compassion.
Loving yourself as you gently grow and change into the very best version of yourself.
In this delicate process, you can practice discernment, detachment and equanimity.
Breathing deeply into all that’s inside of your being with complete acceptance.
Surround yourself with other souls who are committed to spiritual growth and awakening.
Keep a safe distance to those who are committed to negative and destructive beliefs and behaviours.
Take refuge in the great Buddhist practice, which says I take refuge in the Buddha which means the non-local, infinite mind.
Today, take refuge in the Sangha, the community of spiritual beings.
Today, I take refuge in the Dharma.
I align myself with the elements and forces of the universe.

— Deepak Chopra
