In our martial arts training, we recite what we call “Mental Education” which are ten affirmations that we say in class. The main theme of Mental Education is “loyalty”; loyalty to your country, to you parents, to your seniors, to your family are all integrated throughout. The definition of loyalty is, “A strong feeling of support or allegiance”. Where do you have your allegiance? Do you ever find that you are following someone or something that does not line up with your core values? Your Worthy Ideal” Are you being loyal to you? This is where I believe everyone needs to have loyalty to themselves as the highest priority.
Being loyal to your own feelings and beliefs and not changing them or modifying them to suit others. We at Empowered Mastery, work hard at holding the highest of ethics and morals that hopefully align with our clients values. In turn, we hope that there is a level of loyalty to Empowered Mastery and our Worthy Ideal because the values coincide with their own. Being loyal to something you believe in is being loyal to yourself providing you do not sacrifice your beliefs in doing so. Please assess where your loyalty lies and be sure it feels good. Does that make sense? Ultimately, the most important place to have loyalty is for yourself.
