      Miyamoto musashi quote "Both in battle and everyday life, you must have no fear, no hesitation, no surprise, no doubt" that being said you discipline your self to practice every single day no breaks to hone your skills so you can built more confidence on your self and skills.

    Strategy over strength. Mastering yourself is strength and ability to listen to your inner-self

  • @InMyHook
    @InMyHook Год назад +8

    And above all one should master the truth of never encountering stable times, doesn't matter how many battles or wisdom have been conquered or lost. The inner self is challenging while the individuo is alive and cowardice is not stepping into mystakes or lack of attitude but giving up on staring deeply the difficult evolving problematic internal movement life presents during the journey. Cowardice is intentionally dropping or not facing the mirror which call us coward and, even worse, not allowing to perceive ourselves as one. Miyamoto is for the intense souls, such a beautiful and handsome character, surrounding him with art is never enough.

  • @dirmusloner7963

    Miyamoto musashi hated to be called a leader, by his perspective anyone that called him a leader has a broken mentality, because leaders are necessary yes, but one must hear when he is called to lead. And for one to be called to lead, one must know thyself completely to the very core, musashi used to question his students everyday "Have you delved deeply to what your fears are? Have you delve deeply why you want what you want?" etc as a daily practice of mind. Musashi was a warrior and as a warrior has his teachings for those that have the feeling that they have what is called nowadays" The warrior within". His answer to cowardice are his quotes
    "Both in battle and every day life, you mast have no fear, no hesitation, no surprise, no doubt"
    "If there isn't discipline how can there be a true understanding of an ideal?"
    And that one might hit very hard so think about that last quote
    "Anyone that can't be alone, can't be honest, can't be loyal and can't be anything"
    The answer to cowardice from musashi view is simple, self discipline, know thyself, training, study and leave all distractions away from you.

      When you do that, you realise people from across all boards and time come to similar conclusions on certain things. Then it makes you think if they across all times and across all boards who never met came across these similar things on their own. Than you need to understand the real importance that you do it to or implement it into your own life

    I encourage any one looking for the way through these videos to shut up, listen, and learn. As musashi said “pick up your sword with the intention of cutting”. Watch/listen with the intention of self mastery. So many egocentric comments and misinterpretations lead me to believe that most people aren’t paying attention. I’m not saying I am perfect and recognize I have a long way to go, as do the rest of you. Know the way broadly and see it in all things. I hope this comment was helpful. If not, forgive me.

    Simply exemplifying the balance between rest and movement. Silence brings out the all and vast, opposite this, purpose in action. Dropping convention of anticipating, he allowed all to fall away until there was only one way. From the oneness of silence to the duality created as soon as action is taken on the 3D planes of existence ⁉️♉♈♒♎

    Most samurai were pirates or mercenaries.

And the one you are particularly making a hero out of made it a point to pad his record
