WWE: 12 Life Lessons From Ultimate Warrior's 'One Warrior Nation'
2. Pray
While a rule like this could be interpreted as exclusionary, since people joining the One Warrior Nation could come from all countries and creeds, Warrior does a decent job of making it inclusive: Pray and give thanks to whatever Creator you believe in. So yes, I guess hes excluding atheists, but I get the feeling he wouldnt have cared. Youre in, or youre out. As per his usual mandate, Warriors advice for prayer is also somewhat ass-kicking: never pray for help, but you may ask for more challenges. It is up to you, with your human ability to cope, to guide yourself through lifes journey. Leaving it to a higher power is a waste of time (and an insult to your Creator, who has already given you the ability to cope). From a personal standpoint, Id leave this rule out. While Warrior was never one to shy away from controversial statements, he doesnt make much of a case for prayer here, and why alienate people who might otherwise buy into your philosophies? I wont dispute that belief in a higher power gives a lot of people strength and comfort I have no business talking about whether or not to believe but in this case it feels like a token rule, because Prayer is often considered part of a holistic lifestyle.
