Becoming awarrior and facing yourself is a question of honesty rather than condemning yourself. By looking at yourself, you may find that you've been a bad boy or girl, and you may feel terrible about yourself.

Honesty plays a very important part. Just see the simple, straightforward truth about yourself.
