THE WARRIOR'S CREED

I accept that life contains unavoidable conflict.

I choose strategic rationality over emotional reaction.

I judge people by actions, not words.

I depend on my mind, not circumstances.

I think in campaigns, not just battles.

I fight indirectly when possible, directly when necessary.

I control myself before attempting to control situations.

I welcome challenges as training opportunities.

I learn from every loss and stay humble in victory.

I know when to fight, when to retreat, and when to do nothing.
