All the training in combat skills will not make you a warrior until you have a warrior's heart.
A warrior's heart is simply an unselfish heart. It is a quality within which dictates self-sacrifice for the benefit of others. It is the heart which causes the warrior to charge at danger rather than run or shrink from it. It is the heart which causes the warrior to lay down his life for his friend's. It is a heart filled with love for his "band of brothers."
One is not born with a warrior's heart no more than he is born a leader. He must develop it through his everyday actions, words, and thoughts which are shorn of the slightest shred of selfishness, ambitions, and ego.
A warrior's heart is the greatest reward for being a warrior. It grants to the warrior something inside which can not be duplicated in any way.
