> The importance of allies

> The warrior of light who does not
> share with others the happiness of his choices will
> never come to know his own qualities and
> shortcomings.
> So before you start anything, find
> allies – people who are interested in what you are
> doing.
> I am not saying “Find other
> warriors of light.”
> I am saying: “Find people with
> different skills, because a warrior’s fight for his
> dream is no different from any other path that is
> followed with enthusiasm.”
> Your allies will not necessarily be
> those people that everyone looks at in admiration
> and says: “there is nobody better.” Much to the
> contrary, they are people who are not afraid of
> making mistakes, so they make lots of mistakes. That
> is why what they do is not always praised or
> acknowledged.
> Yet this is the type of person that
> changes the world and after many a mistake manages
> to get something right that will make all the
> difference to their community.
> Allies are people who cannot hang
> around waiting for things to happen and later decide
> on the best attitude to take: they decide as they go
> along, even knowing that this type of behavior is
> very risky.
> Living with allies is important for
> a warrior of light; together, they all understand
> that before choosing the objective they are free to
> change their mind. But after the objective has been
> decided upon, they focus only on the steps they have
> to take. And they think as they go along: “each step
> requires a lot of effort, but it’s worth the risk,
> it’s worth betting one’s very life.”
> The best allies are those that do
> not think like most people. That is why, when
> looking for companions to share the enthusiasm of
> the dream, it is important to believe in intuition
> and pay no attention to others’ comments. Most human
> beings always judge others using their own
> limitations as the model – and sometimes the opinion
> of the majority is full of prejudice and fear.
> Join all those who experiment, take
> risks, fall, get hurt and then take risks again.
> Stay away from those who affirm truths, who
> criticize those that do not think like they do, who
> have never taken a step without being sure that they
> would be respected for that, and who prefer the
> comfort of certainty to the tension of doubt.
> Join those who expose themselves
> and are not afraid of being vulnerable: these watch
> what their neighbor is doing, not to judge him but
> rather to admire him for his dedication and courage.
>
> Perhaps the warrior feels tempted
> to think that his dream does not interest everyone,
> such as bakers and farmers, for example. But in the
> warrior they will have a good example of
> perseverance and courage. And a baker can teach a
> lot of things, such as the exact mixture of the
> ingredients, which is based more on intuition than
> technique. A farmer can show the importance of
> patience, sweat, respect for the seasons, and the
> futility of cursing storms – because that is a sheer
> waste of time.
> Therefore, each one of us has
> something different to teach, and it is all these
> differences added together that we call “wisdom”.
> Join with those who are flexible
> and understand the road signs. These are people who
> do not hesitate to change direction when they come
> across an insurmountable barrier or when they spot a
> better opportunity. They possess the quality of
> water: getting around rocks, adapting to the flow of
> the river, sometimes changing into a lake – until
> the hollow is full and it can continue on its path,
> because water never forgets that its destiny is the
> sea and that sooner or later that is where it has to
> reach.
> Join those who have never said:
> “that’s it, I have to stop here.” Because just as
> winter is followed by spring, nothing can stop, and
> the warrior’s road is an endless path. After
> achieving his objective, he finds another challenge,
> and it is necessary to start all over again, always
> using everything he has learned while traveling
> along.
> Join with those who sing, tell
> stories, enjoy life and have joy in their eyes.
> Because happiness is contagious and always manages
> to prevent people from becoming paralyzed by
> depression, loneliness and difficulties.
> Join those who walk with their head
> held high, even though they have tears in their
> eyes. Stay away from those who hold their head high
> because they have never shed a tear, never looked to
> the sides.
> A true warrior of light does not
> confuse arrogance and authority, joy and
> superficiality, persistence and impatience. He has
> his doubts and at times feels oppressed by
> loneliness, but he knows that there are many people
> who think like he does, and that it is just a matter
> of time until he finds his true allies.
