We Are the Sword Bearers
Each one of us whether we lead or follow carries a responsibility far greater than our own personal journey. We are called to take intentional control of our actions, not only in our daily walk, but in how we influence and engage with our families, our teammates, our communities, and in our workplaces.
This weeks article is one that has been on my heart to share with you all.
Imagine yourself as the warrior with a sword. When we carry the sword of life, we will naturally believe it must be used to conquer the challenges and obstacles that confront us. And yes, there will be battles, battles with our mental health, our physical health, our relationships, and with our finances. And when one of these areas is under attack, it inevitably will affect the other areas.
But to be effective, we must learn how to wield our sword not just by its blade, but by its handle.
The blade is powerful, it protects us, it engages with the challenges of life, and it accomplishes the mission. But the handle? The handle is where everything begins. The handle is the foundation of our strength and shows the true character of who we truly are. It determines how we hold the sword, how we present it to others, our circumstances and situations in our lives, and how effectively we wield it in our journey.
The handle represents who we are at our very core.
Is it cold and unforgiving?
Is it uncomfortable to grasp?
Or
Is it crafted with detail, warmth, with an intentional design?
Does it reflect your passion, your purpose, as well as your character?
How we design and hold the handle of our sword reveals the true measure of our own identity and our integrity. In times of battle, we present the blade with courage and conviction, this is where we rise to overcome and challenge. In times of peace, we present the handle with respect, honor, and security, this is where we rest, we reflect, and we prepare for the upcoming battles.
Life, has a way of teaching us that how we handle ourselves in times of peace that it will also determine how we will handle our future battles.
This is a truth that we as Leaders and/or followers alike must recognize for ourselves.
Remember, that Strength without a Foundation is not Sustainable. Power without a Purpose is not Honorable. And Influence without Integrity is not Leadership.
So today, let's make the decision to hold our swords with Honor and with Integrity, choosing how we shape the handle of our life and to live in a way that strengthens not only ourselves—but everyone else around us.
We are the true Sword Bearers on this beautiful journey of life, and the way we hold our life, like the warrior with their sword, truly matters.
