The quest for spiritual awakening started long before each of us were born. There are a number of strong, brave individuals who agree to play an important role in this quest, accepting the responsibility of being a Spirit Warrior throughout their walk on earth.

Their job is to assist others in their search for spiritual clarity by challenging the mindsets that we, the human race, often settle for such as fear, judgments, false beliefs and lies. Accepting these negative and toxic influences in our lives will bring us nothing but unhappiness, pain, and suffering. Instead, the spiritual warrior will bring clarity and awareness to the war that is found deep within our mind, heart, and soul.

Life as a Spirit Warrior is a lifelong commitment, and should not be taken lightly. These individuals need to understand the discipline and study that will be required in order to fully understand and fulfill their roll in the world.

As this journey was made before your birth, we enter into our life here on Earth with no knowledge of having agreed to this responsibility.

Were you chosen for life as a Spirit Warrior? Here are 8 signs…

1. They Live for Love: The first step to assist someone in their own spiritual journey is to first connect, and a Spirit Warrior understands that the only real way to do so is through true love.

2. They Value Truth: Spirit Warriors understand that life is required for spiritual growth and will go to extreme lengths to discover it when necessary.
