Sovereign Self Defense Foundation and Core Values
Posted by Alejandro Borgos on Feb 15th 2014
At Sovereign Self-Defense, we are more than just a self-defense company – we are a community that embraces a set of Sacred 7 Core Values. These values serve as the foundation of everything we do, guiding us in our pursuit of personal empowerment, growth, and self-mastery. Let us introduce you to our core values:
Courage - Mental and Moral Strength to Win:
In the sacred principles of Sovereign Self Defense, courage stands as a pillar of unwavering mental and moral strength. It is the resolute determination to venture into the unknown, to persevere in the face of challenges, and to withstand danger, fear, or difficulty with unyielding fortitude. Courage is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. It is the embodiment of bravery in the face of danger, the audacity to persist in the face of challenges, and the resilience to emerge victorious from life's trials.
Honesty - Extreme Self-Honesty:
At its core, honesty begins with an unyielding commitment to truthfulness and sincerity in all our actions and communications. We believe in the significance of adhering to the facts and holding ourselves accountable for the consequences of our choices. It requires the courage to face our weaknesses and shortcomings with sincerity, acknowledging areas where we need to grow and improve. Through this commitment to truthfulness, both in our interactions with others and in our internal dialogues, we unlock our full potential and create a stronger, more genuine sense of self.
Integrity - Firm adherence to moral values and wholeness:
integrity is the embodiment of unyielding moral principles that guide our actions and decisions. It is the steadfast commitment to staying true to our beliefs and values, even in the face of temptations or challenges that may test our resolve. integrity is the quality that signifies completeness and undivided wholeness. It is the integration of our beliefs, thoughts, and actions into a cohesive and harmonious whole. By embracing integrity, we cultivate an inner strength that empowers us to face life's complexities with clarity and a sense of purpose.
Commitment - Living with Purpose:
Once you commit to living in integrity, you will be tested by your old habits and the influences of others around you. It takes an unwavering commitment to stay the course and uphold the values you have embraced. As you strive to align your actions with your true self, you will encounter moments of doubt or temptation to revert to old ways. It is during these times that your commitment will be put to the test. We believe that true commitment goes beyond a mere promise; it requires continuous effort, resilience, and self-discipline. With every step you take, you forge a stronger connection with your authentic self and create a more purposeful life.
Duty - Required Action or Service
We firmly acknowledge that as individuals, once we have embraced self-integrity and committed to personal growth, it becomes our solemn duty to live in accordance with these principles. Duty, in its truest sense, calls for a required action or service on our part, not only for our benefit but also for the greater well-being of our communities. Having embraced our core values, we understand that our choices and behaviors have a significant impact on the world around us. It is our duty to act responsibly and conscientiously, upholding the values we hold dear and contributing positively to the lives of others.
Honor - Merited Respect and Privilege:
The principle of honor is defined by the merited respect and recognition bestowed upon individuals who embody our core values. To be held in high esteem and regarded with honor is a privilege earned through the display of exceptional character and conduct. We acknowledge the significance of those who lead by example and inspire others. We recognize that true honor comes not from seeking praise or acclaim, but from living a life aligned with integrity, courage, and commitment. Those who consistently uphold these values earn the esteemed title of an honorable individual.
Love - Unselfish loyal and benevolent
In the sacred realm of Sovereign Self Defense, love is defined by an unselfish, loyal, and benevolent concern for the well-being of others. At its core, love is an expression of genuine care and compassion, where we thrive in our devotion to supporting and uplifting one another. It is a verb, an action that nourishes the growth and empowerment of those around us. Love is an adoration of the greater purpose that guides us. The reverence for the principles and values lays the foundation for our path. Together, we celebrate love as the driving force that propels us toward our true potential and the fulfillment of our shared purpose.
