The moment that he begins to walk along it, the warrior of light recognises the Path. Each stone, each bend cries welcome to him. He identifies with the mountains and the streams, he sees something of his own soul in the plants and the animals and the birds of the field. Then, accepting the help of God and of Gods Signs, he allows his Personal Legend to guide him towards the tasks that life has reserved for him. On some nights, he has nowhere to sleep, on others, he suffers from insomnia. Thats just how it is, thinks the warrior. I was the one who chose to walk this path. In these words lies all his power: he chose the path along which he is walking and so has no complaints. - Paulo Coelho The entire quote is necessary for context, but the end is the significant part: I was the one who chose to walk this path is at once an acknowledgement and an acceptance of responsibility. Openly and honestly owning your choices is the only true source of power that cannot be diminished by others. Owning your strengths also means taking responsibility for the influence you have on others and on the world. But owning your weaknesses means you also own the potential to overcome and transcend them. Greatness is not merely found in your successes; it is found in owning the path you chose to walk, and embracing all the lessons you find along the way. That is where your greatness lies - and why once found, it can never be taken from you. - James
