It is working

So... the purpose of this blog was to help myself re-train my mind into the person I was. To take myself from Lancelot back to Galahad. Well perhaps I will never be able to completely do that, but I am getting there.

I am getting focused. I am paying more attention to my family. I am getting better organized. I am being kinder to my friends. I am trying to listen rather than speak. and.... I am standing up for myself when I am right.

I am not there yet and there will never be a time when I can stop and celebrate being perfect. But I am feeling better and stronger and more like myself than I have in a long time.

Templar Man principles are working. Now keep at it.

Why Templar Man

I think I introduced this concept already, but let me expound upon it. Why Templar Man? Well, the Templar's lived by a code that brought them success and prosperity. The prosperity they gained was not for personal expense but for the order as a whole to do great works. To hold oneself up to what the Templar's accomplished would be hard to do, especially in today's world.

However, the Templar analogy is fitting because it involves being committed to a higher purpose. And... willing to risk everything to obtain that higher purpose for the greater good. The red Cross on the cape to me symbolizes the bold statement of living for the cross with the white purity of purpose.

Enough said for now.
