Negative emotions, such as jealousy, anger and passion are not necessarily negative in and of themselves. They are pure energy, which can be manipulated in a positive way. It can open locked doors of communication, thereby clearing the air and the path toward honesty, whether with ourselves or those around us. It’s part of what drives warriors to make positive changes.

"Warriors allow themselves to experience negativity and grow from it, however, those who remain mired in it get eaten up from the inside.

Suppose you are frustrated by your performance on a particular technique. Getting down on yourself may be viewed as negative, but it can lead to a positive state of mind by motivating you to practice and visualize your trouble spots.

Some believe that avoiding "negative energy" makes them a better person, but what it really does is make them a happy person, with their head stuck firmly in the sand. This philosophy, if followed by everyone, would just lead to a world full of happy and irresponsible people, with no martyrs, heroes or warriors to face it and make this world a better place for all to live in.

Negativity can work as a tool to help warriors overcome their shortcomings, in training, in battle and in life.

The true warrior understands how to harness the power of negativity and mold it to their advantage. "
