Accept everything as it is and make use of what you have now. What do you hate? There’s no depth–only width. When everything is fine, change stalls. You’ll be free when you’re retired–but your body won’t. While you’re working, the Gods stand behind your desk-chair, massaging your shoulders, removing the tension from your back–your head feels lighter against your shoulders: the flow state is the quiet divine. Do not regret what you have done. Every day he caressed his lover, giving the muse more of himself; she gave him a title. Fast food is easy. The hoarder can’t see anything except their things–there’s no space to think. You don’t need Ecstasy–you need content. In your head; not in a good way. Human Resources, the principles of the adult world demand it so. You see less than 1% of a person and, even less of their true self because people project how they want to be seen; not who they are. It’s useless having too much, like splitting a piece of gum into five pieces to share: no one has anything. Self-talk is a conversation you have with yourself when no one else is around. The world is a different place than our ancient ancestors world, akin to a Jurassic-Park forest. And the great men still unborn. Why isn’t my life like that. The tools don’t make the player. Confident men make mistakes then thank their idols for another chance, tomorrow. Instead turn your enemies into challenges, Rubix cubes waiting for a solution. Many men, great men, fall in love with women who want nothing more than to see them destroyed, flayed open on a medieval torturer’s-rack, soul exposed to the world. Or, they’re stronger than you, and you’re afraid. Then the weapon is discarded like Christmas cards from 2007. Soon, you’ll see him again; honorable men don’t know how to quit. All of your relationships will end. After celebrating Thanksgiving, families waddle like emperor penguins on ice from the dining table, searching for a couch, a bed, even a small section of carpet on the floor for a nap. The internet. I can’t date anyone: It’s against policy, can’t be friends with them either. Just take a look at the story of the Buddha. You’re always changing because the world moves while you sit: you’re falling behind while not improving. Nunca actúes contrariamente a la moral tradicional. They forget about your craft. An exotic car is the reward for thousands of 13-hour work-days while friends post photos drinking in the same bar their fathers frequented daily, after work. It’s easy. There’s a brutal saying that shreds the soul into ribbons: hell is when you meet the person you could have been. Not playing. A job is accepted, like accepting a piece of candy. You’ll get 10$ of free Bitcoin. People like to grow. Look at your fears as a trail of M&M’s leading you somewhere fresh. People hate themselves but they don’t have to. The more baggage you have, the slower you move. The gods are cat-like in their nature. Some people meet their greatness when their young, and live artistic lives normal men dream of. Instead, the hungry savage picks a potential mate like a sexy criminal lineup with six tens posing, and spinning, all for him. The work suffers because of the frugality. Miyamoto Musashi was a Japanese swordsman, strategist, philosopher, ronin, and a writer. Good. A handful of people change the world. In the movie Troy, Paris, a prince, falls in love with Helen, a beautiful woman betrothed to a Spartan king. He didn’t care about belongings. 20. No chaos. Do not pursue the taste of good food. Your boss fires you even though you work harder than him and have been with the company longer. Accept everything just the way it is. We’ll take the best years of your life; we’ll take your energy; we’ll take all of your passion; we’ll take the time you could have spent raising your daughter in exchange for team-building activities and sexual-harassment seminars. We’re telling the truth, told by our eyes. Pleasure is a white unicorn, farting rainbows as it bounds playfully like it’s hooves are made of springs through a luscious green meadow, looking behind, running forward, begging you to chase it. Most wouldn’t. He’s dying on the inside; like a tree infested with termites. The more value you create the better your rewards. What you dedicate your life too. Wait until your 65 then explore the caverns of Mexico and the prostitutes of Amsterdam. He passes the crybaby, still living in his hometown, while walking the path. Your mind is your best weapon and your worst enemy. It is 21 precepts on self-discipline to guide future generations. Some things just cannot be changed and must be accepted just as they are. They need to beat their fears. It consists of 21 precepts. He followed his truth, and his truth granted him status as a legend. Musashi traveled throughout Japan dueling opponents. Resent kills motivation. 9. What is the purpose of owning anything in your eighties? What habits do you carry from childhood that hurt you? Think about yourself as a child again. 6. He followed his muse and created without reward until he died–a good life for an artist. When you’re not sure of something or someone, you need to be very cautious with how you move forward. Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling. We roll in motorized scooters. From Morton’s steakhouse to Macaroni and cheese. Others can rely on an honorable man. It’s not. Flow is divine assistance. Sadly.

The coward manifests self-loathing through thousands of hours seated in front of a screen, eating food, clogging arteries worse than a clogged toilet after a night of binge drinking and 2 am Taco Bell. Musashi was Ronin but cared little about his status. Ronin are shameful according to traditional Bushido, the way of the Samurai. You have two choices against problems: Stare, and wallow in self-pity, watching others solve their problems, while you cry; hating them for having some type of “privilege”, resenting their talent–or; turn your mind off and solve your problems. It’s impossible to be content with a sour attitude. People have sacrificed everything: money, reputation, and freedom in a moment of desire and lust. Fear is a signal too. Like, how, you’ll never be able to stop a river. A job isn’t technically a possession, but you own it. We know this. Here now are the 21 precepts of Dokkōdō. Most people, still carry the belief they need to compare themselves to their peers as adults. It’s not technology destroying phonebooks; it’s the color of the phonebooks. Once again, resentment and the problem mindset only slows you down and decreases happiness and calmness – not good. Love crumbles great empires beneath the tremendous weight of lust. Children haven’t learned to hate themselves yet. You aren’t a person yet. If all of your friends think you’re lazy it means one of two things: You’re lazy, or you need new friends. Musashi was a wanderer. You can’t hit a target while it’s covered in a thick layer of fog–fog is ambiguity. The inventor thinks his idea is genius. Self-talk is the reaction after failure – I’ll do better next time – or – I’m a useless failure. No one knows–except Vincent. 10. Emotions complicate our choices. 3. It does, and yes, it should. Musashi Precept 18 | Do not seek to possess goods or fiefs in your old age. Ronin were shamed warriors whose master’s banished them, or, their master died and the Samurai, now Ronin, refused to follow their master into the afterlife. You hated that job. Happiness leaves. Musashi’s weapons were his tools. Eventually you’ll fall, and, give up. He incorporated his damaged meat-vehicle into his work. Shooting six free-throws in a row is satisfaction; a little burst of dopamine to encourage your continued play. Precept 2 | Do not seek pleasure for its own sake. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake. Musashi held himself to the level of a god while staying humble, learning from every teacher along his path. Alcohol, cigarettes; or worse, vaping–and porn; anything to forget–anything to waste time. The people who go out to clubs every weekend, or worse, the barflies hitting happy hour every weekday hate being alone, and love attention. He followed no man. Be a machine, like Musashi, training every day. You start the company you’ve always wanted. Dedicate your life to finding your path; what you want to master, the activities you want to do until you die. Telling yourself “How could you eat that burger. accomplishment creates satisfaction: Self-fulfillment through accomplishment, one of the primary tenets of the Andreian Philosophy. On the flight to Tokyo, I looked back on my life from the perspective of Musashi’s Dokkodo and I saw that, without exception, every time I strayed from My Path, it was because I was violating one of the 21 Precepts. Musashi’s life contained vast amounts of suffering, combat, and struggle. In the original Dokkodo document there are twenty one phrases. Your content with your work and your life. Good. Musashi didn’t love a woman–he loved his path. Taking classes seems like a brilliant idea because there isn’t any risk. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake. Understanding your mortality isn’t a curse–understanding your death is freedom. Caring about what others think? 3. Satisfaction comes at different levels. Musashi understood baggage slows the adventurer. If you can’t do that, you have nothing except the empty shell of a man, still a boy, who never left the nest; seeking more nipples to feed on. Musashi carries what a warrior needs. How will he use the internet without electricity? Don’t think. Work every day. He doesn’t listen to power-speeches. 00:24:59 - In this Aboutcast Podcast episode we review the 21 tenets from Miyamoto Musashi's final work the Dokkodo. If you’re reading the best books on the Samurai, you’re becoming more intelligent. No busques el placer hedonista. Don’t have a very rigid worldview. No one owns you, except, maybe an employer, but you have enough savings to handle anything. Maybe one day we’ll have a civil war: fit against fat. Become 1% better every day. No beliefs will make you happy like you’re own; you special, geometrically organized, little snowflake. Preparing, cooking, and tracking your macronutrients; seasoning your mouth out of the cardboard taste of boiled chicken–fitness is hard. Later, checking your credit balance–another 200$ added to your growing pile of debt. Happiness found through pleasure is short-lived. Throw away customary beliefs. And a damn good one too. You have a goal but no understanding of the path to get there but you keep walking anyway. Musashi gave his life to his path. Then, all the clones buy corvettes after their mortality becomes clear. This person is covered in a thick layer of regret. Power isn’t bad–Tyranny is. Why? Change doesn’t change. People are more complex than they appear. Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling. How will the rice farmer in China who can’t read his language start a fitness blog? And yet he still wasn’t satisfied. Musashi never did what he wanted to do; Musashi did what he needed to do, following the current of change. Or a canvas. You need to spend your life finding the beginning of your path. The hopeless man complains about the world. You may spend your entire life toiling, but never see the result in your lifetime. Loyalty is the true champion of love. What the fuck is wrong with you! 4. When an avalanche gains momentum people die; no one can stop an avalanche, like no one can stop you when you’re on a roll, executing your duty like a computer program initiating a self-destruct-sequence. You want more gold. Some people spend their hard-earned money to die faster than their elderly neighbors. Change cannot be stopped. Happiness is short-form enjoyment–pleasure: here for a moment and gone too soon. Preference is the arch-rival of change. Retirement means doing whatever the hell you want when you want. You don’t need emotions to be a good person. He loves his idea so much he refuses to acknowledge nobody wants phonebooks anymore–we have smartphones. The same goes for all other ventures. The gods help those who help themselves. It’s your choice – positive or negative thought. It didn’t matter how many of Paris’s people would die fighting for his willingly kidnapped lover. Satisfaction takes longer to build but lasts forever. Lost honor never heals, and, is rarely forgiven, even with the help of therapy. Happiness springs up from the ground like a geyser of dirt, in the front yard, your conscious mind. Musashi cared about tools and progressing down his path. The neighbor wants you to know he’s rich. They’re in love with the idea. It was given to Terao Magonojo, his most skilled disciple in Niten-Ichi-Ryu. Not who they are, you can’t compare yourself against them. Musashi Precept 3 | Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling. Mama’s meals–it’s all you know. They took a personal loan out for the Range Rover because their credit is dead – dead like Bowie, and costs 21% interest per year. Everyone you know will die. Musashi seems to prioritize specialization over being a generalist. Self-fulfillment through accomplishment. The Samurai advise dying over living. Work until your hardwood table becomes a pillow for your exhaustion. The Firefighter and the terrorist both hold no fear of death. I once heard this from someone who was a Shaolin discipline: “Master one form to perfection. After the third or fourth, an hour and a half in like watching a Lord of the Rings movie, he gets 45 minutes of distracted creation while looking at the lives of better men on Instagram in shameful jealousy. Even if you fail, there’s no shame; you did everything right. Musashi was a warrior. It makes you less human and more animalistic. You don’t have many highs, and you don’t have any lows.
