    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.

    • And when you see others this way, it will inevitably lead to division between you and that other—especially once they realize that you deal with them from a self-centered perspective.
