I realized that i can really be rude and selfish with others when im not in a good mood. I want to better control that. I also hate wasting time on video games and stuff only to feel dissapointed in myself afterwards
@@No.you123 It is actually! Thank you for replying. Recently, ive realized that the best way to live in this world is for God. Ive tried my own ways so many times, and ive wasted so much time. Ive realized that this world is so short and we are like vapors, here one second, gone the next. Every two seconds, someone in this world dies which is insanely sad. And so eternity is what really matters. Ive realized the more i live for myself, the more bitter and selfish i become to other people. The less time i have for people and the more impatient i become. Whereas, the more i live for God, the more i want to help others and love other people. The more generous and happy and selfless i become. I realized that God was the One who gave us life, He gave us natural talents and gifts and abilites. Ive realized when i play guitar, instead of playing to impress people or for myself, i find it so much more fulfilling to play for God. Its like i can feel God is happy when i play. But the most important news is that He loves us so much that He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for us so that we may spend eternal life with Him if we put our faith in Him and live holy for Him. The more i read the bible and spend time with God, the more i learn whats really important in this world, which is to love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength and love others as ourself. This is probably the best news i could ever give anyone. Because i know for a fact, it has completely changed my life and view of life and i will never go back. Thank you for reading my comment.
It’s in reference to carpentry a good carpenter measures twice and make one accurate cut.. musashi was a great admirer of carpenters for many obvious reasons hope that clarifies a little in case you misunderstood and forgive me if you already knew..
Wow! Great timing I just finished a script for developing self-discipline in 5 practical steps and before I could record it, your video shows up! Thanks, great content, I will get this book and check it out.
The third principle… (never act until completely sure). That’s just procrastination. Make a decision. There are a million variables. Try and error, but learn along the way
I think the author didn’t interpret that principle correctly. “Don’t depend on a partial feeling” is more about not making an important decision when you are angry. For example don’t hit someone in anger, you need that feeling to go away and then decide how to proceed. It’s also about not going to a store when too hungry, as both hunger and anger as well as lust can heavily influence what we do but they are partial feelings and will go away very soon.
Miyamoto Musashi's Principles (#1-5) 1. Accept everything just the way it is. 2. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake. 3. Do not depend on a partial feeling. 4. Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world. 5. Be detached from desire your whole life long.
Now I can surely say every single proverb, good thing and method to help us be better as a person does not come from us humans but God. People are still and will be in denial of the fact that every quote is derived from the Bible, We teach ways to better us humans and often not mention the one who created it
#1: Accept everything the way it is. #2: Do not seek pleasure for its own sake. #3: Do not depend on a partial feeling. #4: Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world. #5: Be detached from desire your whole life long.
About the attachment part; so we should strive to not get attached to anything? What about a loved one? Without attachment, there are no feelings of love, and I can't bring myself to do that.
Just pointing out that you clearly didn't study the book as the partial feeling isn't about feeling uncertain, it's about not acting on a temporary state.
Thanks for this video ! With you advices, I quickly started to slash my neighbors with my sword and strive towards beating Musashi’s 61 score. Wish me luck
Recommend the manga Vagabond, is a fictional tale on the man’s life based on the principles of his texts. Also it is one of the most artistic mangas yet (think Kentaro Miura’s Berserk, but with brushes)
Accept Reality: Embrace things as they are to avoid delusion and act effectively, which is essential for success and reduces pain and failure. Avoid Pleasure-Seeking: Do not make pleasure the ultimate goal; instead, engage in challenging activities that promote growth and long-term fulfillment. Avoid Partial Feelings: Refrain from making decisions when uncertain; wait until you are sure to act wisely and avoid hasty judgments. Think Beyond Self: Focus less on yourself and more on understanding the world and your impact on it, fostering intelligence, love, and competence. Detach from Desire: Avoid attachment to desires to minimize suffering, accepting what you cannot have and maintaining a balanced approach to wants.
There is a little more explanation of the matter that a disciplined person has desires and wants things from the world, but has no attachment to these desires; If they can't get what they want, do they get it?
00:14 Miyamoto Musashi was a samurai who wrote Dokkodo, a guide to self-discipline. 00:54 Delusion leads to ineffectiveness and pain 01:31 Seeking pleasure as the highest goal leads to degeneration 02:11 Not depend on partial feelings 02:52 Musashi's fourth principle: Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world. 03:27 Self-awareness comes through acting in the world. 04:06 Attachment is the source of suffering. 04:41 Living by Musashi's principles Crafted by Merlin AI.
Interstering old wisdom. I am a bit confused about the third principle though. If you only take action if something feels 100% right, you will never take action and become passive. Waiting for motivation and that all the stars should align before taking action is a recepie for disaster.
Perhaps it's not waiting until its 100% right, but rather till the individual's uncertainty and fear that's stopping them from taking the initiative fades.
I think the video misinterprets that principle. It relates to the idea of Heijoshin, used frequently in the context of martial arts, meaning presence of mind or complete mindfulness. Its about trusting your intuition and fully committing to something when you do it instead of doing it halfheartedly.
Man, I was with him until he says “don’t depend on a partial feeling”. I disagree. Often, life greets you with choices that you have to make with very limited information. You might be uncomfortable with the limited amount of information at hand and within your capacity to obtain in a limited amount of time, and therefore you will have doubt by nature. Of course that doubt will be there, and it’ll manifest in the form of anxiety, fear, worry, and apprehension. All of those “body” signals will point you (if I’m taking this brief argument at face value correctly) towards NON decision, which is in itself a decision. Instead, to quote another video of yours about Nietzsche, understanding that fear stems from what you desire, and what you desire stems from your understanding of the world, then if you change your understanding of the world by changing your experiences (by taking action when that very action feels uncomfortable), you will reach new understanding which will either satisfy or ameliorate that desire and fear.
I agree with Principles 2-4... As for 1 & 5, here's some higher wisdom Principle 1: Mark 5:25-29 KJV [25] And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, [26] and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, [27] when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. [28] For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. [29] And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. Imagine if this woman had accepted everything happening to her as it was. She never would've made a resolution to exercise her faith and receive her healing. Not everything is meant to be accepted Principle 5: Proverbs 18:1 KJV Through DESIRE a man, having separated himself, seeketh And intermeddleth with all wisdom. It is because of desire that you develop and grow a person, unless that desire is already destructive. Otherwise, how do achieve greatness? But great presentation though
He was literally a giant with a giant sword. Why do you people not show his obvious advantage? Also, to those watching, you don't build self-discipline. It is built into you and early in life or by circumstances later. Blame your parents for being negligent and join a gym where if you don't train you get beat.
I disagree with the second principle. You can do things that bring you pleasure AND are good for your health. On the contrary, if you're doing something you don't like you can teach yourself to dread it altogether. If I was running for the sake of being healthy I would hate cardio activities till the rest of my life because running is not enjoyable for me. However, I found the hobby I really like (horseback riding) and it implies cardio training. It feels like fun when doing it. I think this approach is a bit black and white thinking. Discipline can be learned in a pleasant way too.
It's not convincing to me. After this video and listening to Musashi's five tenants they do not appear self evident and to be honest, may be outdated in modern society. Also, they appear to be contradictory to this message of self discipline. You also appear to have twisted them into a very self-improvement-esque message. I don't inherently believe your message is wrong, which is why I am skeptical of Musashi's rules. Accepting things the way they are is dangerous, sometimes a partial feeling is all that you can have to go on and you need to make a leap of faith, ego can work in your favor, and to be detached from desire is to ignore the basic needs of life which we all desire such as food water and company.
I am against buddist #5 principle here. If you know buddism, you know their avoidance of detachment is extreme, but total detachment is not healty either.
1. Accept everything just the way it is.
2. Do not seek cheap pleasure. Do not make pleasure your ultimate goal.

book that helped me with my personal growth was 'unveiling your hidden potential' by bruce thornwood
Great episode, love your chilled style of presentation. Easy to follow, really calm. Thanks
For most people including myself, this would mean to leave the reasons why you want to be disciplined in order to be successful at discipline.
for buddha to reach enlightenment, he had to give up the desire to attain enlightment.
It meant that to not attach yourself to your goals too much. Yeah your goals are great motivation for discipline but too much attachment is not good
