WHAT IS A WARRIOR?

To me a warrior is someone that may use the rules to their advantage but they don't hide behind it. When I competed in BJJ, I followed the rules, but I expected my opponent to cheat. 

To me a warrior is someone that is always ready for combat. There is a difference between paranoid and prepared. Paranoid is when you cannot function in normal society, being prepared is when your smart.  

To me a warrior is someone that can and will live in less comfort, they definitely don't demand comfort, in fact they may see the discomfort as a challenge they are willing to face and conquer. Things like ice in your drink, AC, hot showers are all not necessary to sustain life.  

To me a warrior is someone that has a code of honor. Don't expect others to follow your code, and don't force your code on others. Having a code isn't for putting yourself up on a pedestal and looking down on others, but it's just a guide you follow to help you live a better quality of life. When you meet someone that also has a code you are more likely to appreciate them and make good friends.

To me a warrior is someone that never underestimates an enemy or task. 
To me a warrior is someone that always expects the worst but hopes for the best. Never lose hope.
In other words a warrior is no stranger to hard work. If your underestimate your opponent then your looking for an easy job. 

To me a warrior is someone that doesn't over step their boundaries. If you think you can get away with something, most people will cross the line, a warrior will not, because it's not about success or failure, it's the principal of things. People always looking for a freebie are the ones that miss out because they are always asking, hunting, and bargaining, it's a desperate attitude, you want to put the work else where in your life and let gifts come to you, it's better than snatching it.  

To me a warrior is able to set aside their emotions and get the task done. They look at the big picture of things and not get distracted by the little things. They don't allow the little things to become huge because they don't focus on them the warrior seeks priority and therefore knows what to focus on.

The warrior doesn't complain they simply make action. 

The warrior doesn't worry about things that they can't control, there is enough work to be done trying to deal with the things that you can control that there should be no time to be wasted. 

To me a warrior is someone that only fights someone stronger than they are. A bully is someone that picks on a weaker person, the warrior is the opposite they see it cowardly to do so, but honorable to defend the weak.
