What I Discuss With D.J. Vanas about the Warrior Within

Drawing inspiration from Native American philosophy and tradition, D.J. discusses how The Warrior Within showcases a new standard of personal power in the face of overwhelming disorder. A genuine warrior is not the most formidable or most courageous person in the room. A real warrior is committed to self-proficiency, knows how to navigate life's transitions and disruption, converts setbacks into possibilities for accomplishment, refuses to give up, and most importantly, always fights for something greater than the self.

How going through the Sundance Ceremony transformed his life and image of being a warrior. Air Force Academy experiences What a warrior is and what a warrior is not. What is the difference between a fighter and a warrior? Intentional desire to serve in the right way. The importance of each of us finding our own tribe. Why can't we be a warrior when we're falling apart inside? How can you apply the warrior spirit to overcome perfectionism? Why Humility is the great equalizer. Where to Find D.J. Vanas:
