A samurai at first, and then a Ronin, Miyamoto Musashi is considered to be the greatest swordsman ever in the history of Japan, in large part due to his almost surreal discipline. Indeed It is being said that he fought 60 duels, and never lost one. He fought for the first time when he was 13 against an experienced Samurai, and came out victorious. He took down the greatest swordsman at that time, one by one, until the throne was his, and his alone. However, Miyamoto was more than that. Not only was he a master of his craft, but he was also an artist, a cerebral philosopher and a buddhist. He sought meaning, wrote war and philosophy books, and his work became a blueprint for people who want to live a disciplined life. A week before he died in 1645, Miyamoto Musashi wrote 21 principles called “Dokkodo '' by which he expresses a stringent, honest, and ascetic or strongly self-disciplined view of life.

My favorite thing about Musashi isn't in his books but in his mythos. The part of story about the shrine before his first duel to be exact. While still being revrent to the Gods he refrained from praying for favors. Instead he thanked them for all that he had been given at birth. That's the inner strength of a Sage.


edited to correct: for praying to from praying.

What an amazing video! It hits home very hard, because I’m always shifting between hobbies. I lack focus and this makes me miserable sometimes. But I’m changing that now.

Just a heads up, something i learned from a therapist. Cutting out all the short term gratifications doesn't necessarily mean you'll be able to focus on your one true purpose/passion. I thought my shit was all muddied up because of them. Turns out, i was trying to use process of elimination. I had never figured out my passion to begin with, so constantly narrowing down was an effort in futility. There was nothing to narrow down to. I just kept cutting more and more things out of my life until i had basically nothing. This is to say, try to find what you're working towards FIRST.
Idk i may have butchered what he was trying to teach me, but maybe this will help someone.
