The warrior carefully discerns between "cannot" and "will not" thus choosing self-empowerment over victimization.
The discernment between what one `cannot' do and what one is `not willing' to accomplish is critical to the distinction between the warrior and the non-warrior.
Non-warriors often shield themselves from the consequences of their own unwillingness by resorting to a stance of incapacity, thus avoiding responsibility for their own flaws, lack of courage, and inaction. This externalization of control is disempowering.
On the other hand, the warrior prefers the self-empowerment that comes from ownership over behavior and personal circumstances.
He or she affirms personal integrity in acknowledging the difference between true limitations and excuses enshrouded in faulty reasoning or learned inhibitions.
The sooner we acknowledge the extent to which poor choices, apathy and ignorance are contributing to unfavorable personal circumstances, the sooner we are on the way to mastery over the same.
