The nine uncommon habits of unstoppable modern warriors

5 min readApr 21, 2025

We don’t need to be in battle with a clan of medieval nasties to live like a warrior.

We don’t need to don a heavy iron chest plate to be a warrior.

‘Warrior’ is a way of seeing the world and a filter through which we see ourselves in that reality.

‘Warrior’ is a perspective, a mindset needed now more than ever.

It’s a way of thinking that informs our behaviours, and those behaviours, in turn, protect us, amplify our luck, and strengthen us.

When we adopt the habits of a modern warrior, we anticipate challenges.

We’re no longer at the mercy of the surprises that inevitably sneak up on us when we need everything to be trouble-free.

Here are 9 ways we can adopt warrior habits and become unstoppable in the process:

1. See things for what they are, not what you perceive them to be.

There’s a big difference between observation and judgement.

Judgers are vulnerable because they are at the mercy of their self-created illusions.

You won’t see monsters when you’re awake.

2. Regularly assess the wider terrain.
