Remember... A warrior is born from the ashes of their life before. They are born from the pain, the suffering, the despair, the stress, the darkness, the fatigue. The scars are remnants and a lesson of what it took to rise. 

They will rise from the ashes like a phoenix and take what is theirs. They strive to be better than the being they were before. They slam that previous chapter shut, engulfing in flames of victory and they finally achieved the one thing they hoped and fought for. 

And that... is a life of peace.. where they no longer have to fight unless they are desperate. To be the quiet one among the sheep. Now that, is dangerous. 

You are the maker of your own destiny and the path that lies before you is your own. Never stray from it and listen to what you believe is right. Do not doubt for one second that you are weak.. you are far from it. No matter what happens, hold onto your humanity and your heart. One day, it will all make sense.

This is your awakening...

Rise...

Rise like the phoenix and be reborn.
