Scrutiny

Before you trust any expert, system, or authority, scrutinize the premise. This will save you time, energy, and money.”

That’s how Jesse Elder opened a post this week, and it hit me like a bell.

The news. Religion. Self-help. Past life contracts.
All of it can be used to keep you small, to make you passive, to glorify victimhood.

But there’s another way.

Life isn’t happening to you.
It isn’t even happening for you.
Life is happening BY you.
Through you.

That’s more responsibility than most people are willing to take.
But if you dare to take it, everything changes.

I close every Modern Day Warrior night with these lyrics from Greg Holden:

And I will not be commanded
And I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on
Without the help of my soul.
