It may take a life time of discipline, dedication, honesty, courage and persistence to live up to it.
But the decision to walk on that path however we make from moment to moment whether consciously or unsconsciously.
A conscious choice is always best. Because this is where it all begins from the core of our being, at the awoken awareness level, the spiritual level. And this is where our power lies too.
― Carlos Castaneda
“The basic 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.”
“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.” ― Carlos Castaneda

By the way that memory of your mother's funeral. Thank you for sharing it. A few lines but high adrenalin !
What an incredible moment to live. As if you were walking over the abyss on a ready to break rope.
And the rope broke indeed ! Yet, you managed to recreate yourself intact and save the situation.
There are times like that where we hardly know where the power we have to make things right is surging from.
