5. Build upon your many strengths

We are all endowed with unique gifts and talents that only we possess. We are all good at and good for something. We all bring something to the table. That makes us all warriors of life. It's a matter of identifying those specific strengths and assets in your life and focus on developing and tapping into those skills. One strength can lead to another, and before you know it you will have an arsenal of abilities that you can be proud to share. Think of what it takes to be a champion body builder. Think of the time and effort and training it takes to build muscle upon muscle, body part upon body part. Think of the drive it takes to build the perfect diet and the perfect routine to perform for the judges and the fans. Think of the sacrifices and commitment it takes to build the stamina necessary to accomplish such an endeavor. All of these strengths in mind, body, and spirit come together to make a winning formula. Now that's a warrior! These strengths can carry over and be applied to many other aspects of life. Look at Steve, look at Arnold, look at Tiger, look at Oprah, look around you for examples of those who have put their strengths to their maximum use. Do you even know what your strengths are? Are you putting your know-how to work for you? Are you sharing your talents and expertise with the world? When you show up at the table of life with something to contribute, then everybody benefits.

6. Clearly state your purpose

Life should come with a purpose manual but it doesn't. Figuring out your purpose for being here can be hard. It shouldn't be, but it is. It is easy to get lost in the madness and mediocrity of a confused and confounding world. It is easy to feel left out, overlooked, irrelevant or insignificant. Sometimes it's easier just to go with the flow, no matter how unhealthy and unhappy it may be. Sometimes it's easier to remain still or become stagnant walking in place and going nowhere fast. If you get nothing else from the life of Steve Irwin, get the fact that each one of us has the ability to matter and make a difference. Steve had a distinct purpose for being here and he lived every ounce of that purpose for all it was worth. He left an imprint that will be seen and an impact that will be felt for years to come. He touched our hearts. This incredible wildlife warrior will be truly missed. What about you? Can you clearly state your purpose? If asked, could you articulate it in plain and simple terms? If necessary, could you write it in plain and simple language? Part of the trick to success is keeping your eye on the prize. When you undoubtedly know your purpose you know exactly what that prize is. Then, you can discover the warrior already there. Then, you can become the warrior you were born to be.
