What Makes a Man a Warrior

Don Juan once said, ‎ “The difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or a curse." When I read this quote it made me realize that everyone’s life is full of challenges, but what makes us different is how we deal with those challenges. Instead of whining and complaining whenever something happens to them, “warriors” make the most out of whatever life throws at them. An ordinary person would lie in bed and mope all day because of a broken leg, but a warrior would make it an opportunity to read that book they have always wanted to read, or learn how to crochet. Even though their leg is still broken, they have overcome their trial by turning it into a good experience. They don’t give up on life just because their leg is broken.
