Be relentless against your enemies, but be ready to show mercy and grace should the opportunity arise to turn a foe into a friend. People can change, and honor is a path through the complex landscape of life, not a fence to keep out trespassers.

Do not live in constant fear of being wrong. Don't berate yourself for erring. You may regret past mistakes, but a true warrior knows that if you learn from them you may one day be grateful that you made them.

When you have lost that which you hold dear, it is natural to shy away from seeking the same joy again, for fear of losing it once more. But take heart! Seek that joy again, even knowing what it may cost. For a true warrior is a collector of warm shadows, of memories fond, wistful, and joyous.

Confidence without introspection is hubris. To never question yourself, to lack all inner doubt, is to throw away one of the most valuable tools of the true warrior. After all, how can you learn to be better if you never see room for improvement?

As much as we may wish to deny it, we are often motivated by fear more than anything else. It is a hard way to live. But true warriors pledge to meet those fears shoulder to shoulder, to stand against them together. In doing so, we are motivated against fear, not by it.

There are some who will hate you for who you are, for no reason other than you do not conform to their small minded notions. Do not let them sway you! You are a warrior, a person of honor and courage, not a puppet who bobs on the strings of their prejudices and bigotry.

There will always be someone who cannot see your worth, who will underestimate you, who will undermine you. Do not let that someone be you.

It is said those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But what of those who suppress the past, distort it, sanitize it? They cannot not be held blameless. A true warrior knows that hiding from the past is cowardice, and deliberately hiding the past is malice, and a grave dishonor.

Bitterness and cynicism are a form of surrender, when anger at injustice remains but the will to confront it is dulled by resignation. As true warriors, let anger at injustice be bright and righteous, and let it drive us to confront its cause, stand in its way, and cast it down.

Solidarity will break them.

Some would rather be foolish than sound foolish. When learning, a true warrior knows that asking a seemingly dumb question is better than facing the consequences of never having asked. In the end, those foolish questions may just be the wisest of all.

Do not confuse power for strength. The so-called powerless may have more strength, more courage, and more honor than any autocrat. A true warrior sees to it that the despot will come to fear that strength, and their power will falter before it.

Kahless tells us that the darker it is, the more the smallest light stands out. A true warrior tries to be a light in the darkness, a beacon to others of honor to find and join and blaze all the brighter, and push back the dark together.

A warrior is not defined by the fights they have won, but by what they fight for. Stand for those less privileged, stand for the powerless, stand with your neighbors, stand for those who will come after you. Stand for honor, or you stand for nothing at all, and are worth even less.

Calls for civility are often weaponized by abusers, by bigots, by those who would oppress you. If it is considered impolite to speak out against dishonor, then it is time for a true warrior to be rude.

Honor has no price tag. It is bought only through actions, through conducting yourself with integrity, with kindness towards others, with ferocity towards those who promote hatred and bigotry. Nor can anybody, no matter how wealthy, buy it or take it from you. Honor is priceless.

We honor those we have cherished by keeping them in our memories and singing songs of their glory. The pain you feel is not that of a scar, but the loss staking a claim in your heart that ensures you will never forget them.

The path to honor is not one without mistakes or stumbles, but one of mistakes acknowledged, of missteps overcome. Know that to you will falter. Know that you will regain your stride. Know that you are not alone.

The world may seem full of pain and anguish, but there is good and hope as well. These things must be fought for. Do not despair, for even the smallest acts of honor are a light in the darkness. Join me as we bring these flames together, and watch as even the deepest shadows are pushed back.

A true warrior is not too proud to express gratitude. Indeed, acknowledging when you have been helped, when others have shared with you, is essential to an honorable life. I am grateful to have spent another day with you, those who make my days lighter and more hopeful. Thank you.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

Some say it is best to live without regrets, but sometimes regrets are necessary to uncover honor within yourself. We learn kindness from the example of others, but also from reflecting on times when we were unkind, regretting those moments, and vowing to do better.

Recall a time when someone came to your aid, stood up for you, showed you an unexpected kindness. Hold on to those memories, for they are dear. Strive every day to make someone else feel the way you did in that moment.

Kahless tells us to breathe life into that which we love. Celebrate the things you hold dear, share them with others, and let no one stifle the breath of things you cherish.

// Two days to go!

No-one is without something they wish were different about themselves. Be honest, improve what you can, but be kind to yourself, too. Don't become your own bully.

They say the best opportunity comes once in a lifetime, and for some things that's true. But more often success leaves a trail of failures in its wake. Do not resign yourself to defeat because you missed a chance. Go out and make more of them.

Just released my synthwave take on the Running Up That Hill x Stranger Things combo. Enjoy!

Like a wound, grief does not heal overnight. As the days pass, let the empty space fill with memories, let the sorrow be replaced with gratitude for the good times, the kind words, and most of all, the part of them that made you who you are.

Wielding power over the powerless is the mark of the bully. Wielding strength against the weak is cowardice. Real strength is when you have such power, but choose to use it in defence of the vulnerable instead. That is the mark of the true warrior.

Your enemies are counting on you to lose hope. Despair is one of their greatest weapons, for it leads you to stop fighting for yourself. Hold on to hope, no matter how hard it is, and refuse to join your enemy in bringing you down.

It is said that you must pick your battles, but often they are picked for you. You should not give in just because you did not choose the fight. No, you must respond with all your determination and ferocity, and show your enemy they picked the wrong battle, with the wrong warrior.

Kahless tells us time is the one enemy no warrior can defeat. In the end, it is how you spent your that time matters most. Spend it being honorable, strong, and kind. Do this and time will not be your enemy, but your gift to those who will be glad to have known you.

Many think kindness and humility are signs of weakness. They are wrong. True warriors know that to help others and to ask for nothing in return are the mightiest acts of honor. Cruelty is for the weak. Offer help, show kindness freely, for tomorrow it could be you who requires aid.

Kahless tells us that to face a new day, not knowing what challenges it may bring, is a fresh act of courage each morning. Arise tomorrow and raise your voice, tell the world a warrior has awoken, a true warrior who will bring this day honor and glory!

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.
