    Miyamoto Musashi - How to Build Self-Discipline (#2)

    06:31Miyamoto Musashi - How to Build Self-Discipline (#2)
    • And by looking for someone to blame, you are giving up your own internal power and control over the situation at hand. A disciplined mind is not resentful, and it does not complain. It accepts the way the world is and focuses on what's in its power to control, and by doing this, it is productive. Musashi's tenth principle states, Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love. A mind guided by lust will be led to degeneration and division. Lust leads to degeneration because it will cause you to see others purely in terms of the pleasure that they can provide you. Lust is self-centered and blinding. It doesn't allow you to clearly see others and what's best for them, but rather, it makes you think primarily of what's best for you.

    • Do not seek pleasure for its own sake. Making pleasure your highest goal is one of the quickest and surest paths to degeneration. That's because the quickest and shortest paths to pleasure are often found in cheap, shallow, and unhealthy vices, such as junk food, drugs, porn, mindless entertainment, and so on. Things that are immediately pleasurable are often bad for our health, and conversely, things that are painful at first, such as running, working out, or studying, are often good for us in the long run. A disciplined person doesn't seek pleasure for its own sake, but rather, they seek out activities that challenge them to grow—activities which may be painful at first, but yield greater and deeper pleasure in the long run.
