Maroon Mindset: Finding me – survival to peace


He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. Maroon mindset is vital for my survival. 

The presence of my ancestors are always with me. Wherever I go, whatever I do. I feel their gentle steer!

I see their influence and intervention in so many different ways during my days and feel a deep sense of guidance and care.

Discernment and warrior wisdom are key traits that are at play as I navigate the realities of life. Staying battle-ready and mentally agile are conscious acts to preserve my sanity in an increasingly unpredictable world.

He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. Maroon mindset is vital for my survival.

The gentle breeze, the light raindrops, the leaves falling delicately in the fall. The thunder, the lightning, the howling wind are all unmissable and provide the perfect balance that I need to stay calm, grounded and focused on fulfilling my purpose in life.

In a world of distractions, it’s important to stay on track and complete the mission. The mission of leaving this world better than you found it. The mission to be better and stronger than yesterday. The mission to learn from yesterday and leave it there.

He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. Maroon mindset is vital for my survival.

With time and patience, perseverance and discipline, I commit to start afresh every day. 

Every day is a fresh set of opportunities to be strong, kind, steadfast, vulnerable, humble and be purpose driven.

When challenges inevitably arise, as they must do, it’s the response that is within my control. That’s where my power lies. That’s my gift. That’s my maroon mindset in action. 

He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. 

Maroon mindset is vital for my survival. 

Maroon mindset is vital for my healing.

Maroon mindset is vital for my peace.

Peace is my legacy! 

Peace that does not shy away from battles. Peace that fights back when necessary.

Peace that does not dwell comfortably with injustice.

Peace, perfect peace is my legacy!
