There is no doubt that Miyamoto Musashi is one of the greatest samurais in history. His unparalleled achievements in swordsmanship weren't just a result of natural talent but a testament to his unwavering discipline.
According to his own writings, it was this very discipline that carved his path to greatness.
Musashi saw self-discipline as more than a tool for achievement; it was a shield against suffering.
When we're disciplined, we're better equipped to handle life's challenges and surprises.
So with that in mind, in this video, we'll explore Musashi's teachings to build exceptional self-discipline and how we can apply it in our daily lives.
Thank you for taking the time to watch!

The moments when you are motivated and pumped up are not the moments you will build self discipline, it's when you feel broken down and you really don't want to do that thing you know you should be doing. Those are the real best moments and most defining ones for you, so whenever you are there just know that regardless of what you perceive it as, it is still an opportunity for growth. Much love to anyone trying to better themselves and live a better life ❤

yeah this way of thinking has relieved so much weight from my shoulders that I've carried my whole life. We choose to listen to the world that conditions us to believe that we need things and accomplishments to be happy, but especially with my crippling health problems I find it best to be grateful for the fact that I exist at all, despite my life being miserable.

I first read "A Book of Five Rings" shortly after I finished up my contract in the Marines. I read both the "Tao" and "Art of War" while in, and while all of these books are awesomely good--I'm especially not going to diss their mysticism and strange, sublime geometry--it was "Five Rings" that helped focus me most in dealing with post-Katrina New Orleans. . .and the random events which occurred afterward. I first gave it a solid, straight read through, but then would just open it to random pages to see what bit of wisdom I can pick up for any time--the lessons of simplifying tasks in straightforward manner, not letting the "sissy things" get to you, keeping one's focus and discipline intact, and vying consistently for excellence (while realizing it isn't so daunting or hard) persist throughout the book. They are more than 'inspirational', because inspiration can be flitting like a mood, especially in today's 'must feel good all the time'-mentality; they liberate us from the tedium of anxiety and doubt, to free us to do what we should be doing. Watching this video is kind like rummaging through the old pages like I used to do. Great job!

I want to add this, real quick, for what's it worth: At the onset of the pandemic I started reading Marcus Aurelius' "The Meditations", while still referencing "Five Rings" from time-to-time. I had lost all work, because I worked in live events; my son was with his mom in another state, and I couldn't see him, as I didn't have a car (was destroyed in a flood a few months earlier), and I didn't want to bring him to this epicenter of the virus, which New Orleans was; both my parents were over 1000-miles away, and I was worried about both of them, as they're both over 80, with one who has COPD and diabetes; and possibility that I could die, completely alone, and never being able to hold or even say Goodbye to anyone I love, and leaving my son without a father. . .these were some of the distressing factors I dealt with. While I had one breakdown at the guilt of taking unemployment on top of all things, I didn't really 'break', though I did acknowledge the situation. . .what reading just a few daily paragraphs from these books did for me was help me reattain my focus and center--at a time when ALL other messages and media spoke of nothing but mayhem and madness, almost like a doctrine--to do the WORK that must be done. Working on lesson plans to go over with my son on the phone, on top of the coursework from his remote classes, so he continues to GET and EDUCATION; keeping in touch with friends and family, checking in to help make sure people are alright, and know there's people to communicate with them; working more on physical fitness, to increase my chances of survival if I get sick; eating cheap but well--mostly vegetarian to save money--and losing close to 40-lbs; and trying to take the time to study what was important to me. . .academic, nerdy shit. This is not a low-key brag, or even 'venting'. I'm sharing my experience to help demonstrate the efficacy of the kind of thinking these books help import. We live in era--or perhaps it's just common throughout the eras--where our spoilt privilege makes a 'catastrophe' out of mere inconveniences. Our media is rife not just with stories about bad things, but bad takes on these events/people. And the hyperbolic behavior we resort to only increases the toxicity of things, aggravating stuff even more. It's a compounding cycle that'll only continue to ramp up until we have nothing left with any meaning or joy. . . and we're concentrating on it at the expense of pursuing and indulging in our own meaning or joy. I know it's not easy to deal with this--shit I'm under duress, too, and feel it. But try not to indulge. And, like I try to remind myself, keep hold of that Center, know where it's at, to keep on moving in a GOOD direction.

@BOBMAN1980 meditations is probably one of the greatest books ever written. The Tao is also fascinating. I would also recommend the uppanishads and dhampada from the east. From the west I would wholeheartedly recommend "human all too human" by Fredrick nietzche and "maximes" by François de La Rochefoucauld. Of course if you interested decarte, humes,and Immanuel kant are some serious reads. Can be difficult at times but Immanuel kant might be one of the smartest humans to have ever lived. "Candide" is a very short book by Voltaire that I would also recommend.

Thank you for sharing! this is really insightful. Here are my notes: 1:09 Accept everything just the way it is. Don’t label situation as good or bad, just accept things that happened and act on them, find solutions. 2:54 Do not regret what you have done Regret doesn’t help to fix situations, it will only use our mental capacity 4:23 Be indifferent to where you live The key to contentment is in our minds, not in our surroundings 5:48 To know ten thousand things, know one well Careful to fall for the shiny object syndrome. Musashi focused on mastering the sword, but he was also a philosopher, artist and strategist. But he master one very well first. 7:28 Never let yourself saddened by a separation Separation is a natural and unavoidable part of being human. The discipline lies in managing those emotion, acknowledging the sadness but not letting it deter you from your path 8:32 Never be jealous It’s a distraction from your own path

1. Never be afraid of separation, especially do not develop emotional bonding with material things. 2. Where ever you go, there you are. Location should not have affect on your mental peace. Be indifferent to where you live. 3. While feeling guilty helps in correcting your behavior, Regret kills your mental peace, and he never gave time for such things like regret. 4. Never feel jealousy. Because jealousy also consumes your time and makes you question your journey or self worth. He didn't have time for such self doubts. He only focused on his trainings. 5. Accept everything and especially do not label things as good or bad. Just take it as it is. 6. To know 10,000 things, know one well.

With inner peace and contentment it really doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing. With inner peace and contentment you no longer feel the need to go in search of happiness, the temporary happiness that comes from the acquisition of money, wealth, status, relationships, material goods and all the addictions.

I learned this long ago. For 20 years I've been fighting every battle. No fear, anger or guilt rules me. I live with no regrets. I had the advantage of not being disracted for long periods of time. Paitence and observation is key. The best comes from the worst. Learn to embrace it. Learn to play with it. It's not about what's ok or not. What happens happens. "Accept it". I learned to love hate. Only haters hate on hate. Most people won't know what this is like. Apathy and chaos is comforting to me. "Nothing" is. Beats living a lie.

For the past year and a half, I’ve been attempting to live a hybrid philosophy of Goggins/Musashi/ Sun Tzu/ Stoicism. Occasionally, I slip. But, Ive made more progress in the past 1.5 years than in the previous 5. I’m beginning to see results after months and months of self doubt. I spend every extra second of my life training in solitude. Going to the gym, running, boxing. I’m not training for anything specific but more for mental well being. When challenges or struggles come up in the future I’m ready. Whatever it may be.

I had picked up the book of five rings ages ago on a whim. I knew the name musashi but really nothing else. It's mostly a very good book and contains so much of what you've said here. The scroll containing actual swordsmanship instruction though of an obvious miss but that's the only "downside" of the book is that were not doing actual sword techniques lol.
