This is a personal manifesto I try to live by everyday. Are you a warrior too?
Declaration of the Warrior Woman
Today, I remember I am part of a tribe full of potential and possibilities –
a sisterhood of women the world over whose determination and creativity
is only matched in strength by the depth of our wisdom and the well of compassion in our hearts.
As I call upon the strength of my global tribe,
I remember who I really am and what I am truly capable of.
I remember I am a warrior.
This warrior is not one of violence or suppression, but a warrior of light –
a force that unifies by sourcing the deepest place of truth within.
It is from this place that I reclaim my birthright as a co-creator of the universe.
I know the world needs me to step into my power fully now
and act in accordance with love,
using it as a social force for good, even in the face of fear.
I am ready.
I stay open to the unlimited capacity of my own original expression
And choose to embrace my vulnerabilities
as the key to unlocking my greatest strength.
I remember that what I don’t do can be as destructive a force as what I do.
And so, I choose to be brave and commit to pioneering new possibilities
in being human, even if it scares me.
I pledge to stand for my own greatness and the greatness of others
and suspend any disbelief I may have,
understanding that new possibilities in life
are born out of conviction, faith, and courage.
I welcome opportunities to collaborate in spreading light with others,
knowing that an idea grows stronger once it is shared.
I stay receptive, soft, and open –
and I listen well so that I can notice and
act upon moments of synergy when they arise.
I choose to see the tensions in my life as drivers for my
own evolution towards a higher self.
My conflicts become opportunities for unconscious creativity to emerge.
Even my inner chaos and inner critic become pathways to freedom
as I harness and redirect their power to integrate the fragmented pieces
of my own consciousness towards
greater self-awareness, acceptance, and compassion.
I lovingly accept my limits and honor the critical role they play in
making my power more potent, clear, and direct.
I recognize the false power we give to the idea of perfection
and remind myself that success and failure are not always
accurately labeled in our world.
I relinquish the idea that my self worth is determined
by something outside of me.
Instead, I steer my energy towards a place of inner stillness
from which intentional, purposeful action can arise –
action that will nourish my life and the lives of others.
I root into and orient towards gratitude, love, forgiveness, and even joy.
I remember that life is an integrated journey experienced
by all parts of me, body and mind.
I take care to include all those parts of myself
and make space for the different wisdoms within me to unfold,
even the ones I am not aware of yet.
I acknowledge the negativity and adversity that exists in our realm,
and yet I dare to hold a transformative vision
for my life and for the world nonetheless.
I know that real change manifests when I make myself
radically available to live in the field of possibilities.
I surrender my fear of playing big and step fully into my life,
shining bright for myself and for the world over.
Today, I live like the warrior that I am. And so it is.
