Socrates: A warrior does not give up what he loves Dan, he finds the love in what he does.

Dan: Look at me! LOOK AT ME! I have a metal rod in my leg!

Socrates: A warrior is not about perfection…or victory…or invulnerability…he is about absolute vulnerability…that’s the only true courage.

Dan: What type of training do you think I can do, HUH? I JUST HAD AN ACCIDENT!

Socrates: THE ACCIDENT IS YOUR TRAINING! LIFE IS CHOICE! You can choose to be a victim or anything else you’d like to be!

Dan: Just ignore what happened to me?

Socrates: A warrior acts only a fool reacts.

Dan: And what if I cant do it?

Socrates: That’s the future, throw it out.

Dan: And how would we start?

Socrates: There is no starting or stopping…….only doing.

Dan: [pauses and reflects]

Socrates: You tell me you want to be more than just someone who gets up on those rings and performs a well-practiced stunt or two. You tell me you want to be someone who uses his mind and his body in ways that most people would never have the courage to…and I will train you Dan…to be a real warrior.

Socrates: Everything has a purpose Dan even this and it’s up to you to find it.
