"Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The Courage to change the things I can.
And the Wisdom to know the difference."
Sigma
We cannot change that which we do not accept.
I bought the book of five rings years ago,
But having to know this phrase,
And the context around having to know it,
Brought me back to Musashi

Alcoholic anonymous?
Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
@@wealthypepe😂😂
@@wealthypepeso the impermanent and presumably novel is more important correct?
Uh oh. You've got a lot of learning my friend @@wealthypepe
you've misunderstood the quote maybe. It means to take it easy on yourself, we're usually our own worst enemies. Think deeply about the world so be external and not caught up in your own illusions. @@wealthypepe
I kno dats right
Never have I heard something so profound that completely and utterly describes me and who I am to my core and also shows me why it’s been so hard for me to fit in.. We don’t take the easy way.. We Question Everything, and Integrity and Self Respect, Self Love is more important to us than any material thing or any opinion or anyone.
Yes it’s a lonely road but that’s because we are not mindless sheep’s of a heard, we are critical thinking individuals prioritizing integrity, honor, self respect and virtue. The sheep don’t have our competence or brilliance to be able to do this and stand on their own as we do… We are the Chosen Ones.
We the Sigmas.
Cringe
😂😂😂
Chosen by youtube
Think LIGHTLY of yourself he said 😂😂😂😂
Who chose you?
Musashi’s philosophy and wisdom is saving me rn thank you for this 🙏🏽💪🏽👨🏽🎨
Musashi & Aurelius are indeed BFFs in some infinite universe somewhere 🌠
Lol

Hell no. The Romans had orgies with little boys and little girls. The Samurai were very different and that's a good thing.
No. The Romans had orgies with little boys and little girls. The Samurai were very different.
The Romans were homosexuals and The Samurai were not homosexuals.
I wish I’d learned a lot of this by age 11 it would have saved me so many problems and repetitive behaviors that caused so many problems
You should be outside playing at 11 not worrying about life's problems
I'd like add one of my own Empowerment: Help others discover ones own ability without them realizing they had the ability. Best feeling in the world.
Oh, that's a good one! This could be a great teaching moment for anyone, whether they're looking for purpose or lost in their ways. Teaching empowerment _and_ empowering the empowerers- _is empowering!_
Now I like how you said this.
Any day that I don't listen to this is an incomplete day, which becomes self-evident within hours through a narrowing of internal lens rapidly towards external influence. Thank you for this gift
Do not insist on things you are not able to change
Then I die trying to
That’s the thing you die anyways go out on your own damn sword!
@@reedre6177what part of "cannot change" do you not understand? You can't possible the impossible.
Do not insist on things you weren't meant to change the prize is in the understanding of such.
I throughly enjoyed this fantastic piece. Thank you for the excellent dissertation.
This makes me want to cry. I can't avoid to regret the past. no More words .
This was wonderful and so powerful! Thank you for uploading 👊🏼
When you the know the way broadly and deeply you will see it in everything
Doubt it.
By the way are you referencing The Dao?? Or no?
Principle 6 feels neglected...
Principle 6: Do not regret what you have done.
This principle encourages taking responsibility for our actions, learning from them, and moving forward without regret.
Yep, hardest one for me.
understand that regret is the unability to forgive yourself. We are so quick to forgive others for their wrongdoings, why not ourselves? Forgive yourself, but do not forget your mistakes.
@@gavinrasmussen3012 I was just going to reply with the connection of regret and the power of forgiveness, for one's self and thus others, you phrased it better.
Musashi is very stoic
This really hit me like a freight train today. Thank you for this.
As a Karaite Messianic Jew, just turning 53 years old, just becoming an "empty nester", I've wondered if ANYONE thought the way I thought. This really has given me something to learn from and share with others. I agree with about 95% of these teachings honestly. I've tried relationships over the past 40 years, including 2 marriages, and always felt like I could never find anyone that understood me. This all makes so much more sense now.
Thank you again. Blessings.
Yeshua understands you; seek Him in Spirit and in Truth. Shalom
Whoa. Thae just gave me whole info lol wow 😮

Sorry friend 🎉
* mistake
Thank you for preparing this
He is one of my favorite, he is inspirational to me. I still have his pic as my phone wallpaper. I like him cause he was strong: mentally, physically intellectually.
His personality to me is my absolutely goal and i am almost there.
Thank you for this my friend. I listening to it when I’m on a treadmill session every time.
Thank you for this man, I appreciate it. Dokkodo is great! ❤
This is simply 'THE WAY' he was a daoist 💚☯️💚🔥
Buddhist
Zen Buddhist
The way is zazen
If you'd like to know how to do that, there's UA-cam videos!
However, I'd recommend careful study of the book "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" by Shunryu Suzuki which you can find free as a pdf, it's just a search away
He's on UA-cam too, but use the book
🤦 you yt's label everything know so much yet so little! That's simply the way!
🤦
@@topnodtch7227 So Dogen did not call himself a Soto teacher or a Soto dis-ciple. He said, "Other people may call us the Soto school, but there is no reason for us to call ourselves Soto. You should not even use the name of Soto." No school should consider itself a separate school. It should just be one tentative form of Buddhism. But as long as the various schools do not accept this kind of understanding, as long as they continue calling themselves by their particular names, we must accept thetentative name of Soto. But I want to make this point clear.
Actually we are not the Soto school at all. We are just Bud-dhists. We are not even Zen Buddhists; we are just Bud-dhists. If we understand this point we are truly Buddhists.
Buddha's teaching is everywhere. Today it is raining. This is Buddha's teaching. People think their own way or their own religious understanding is Buddha's way, without know-ing what they are hearing, or what they are doing, or where they are. Religion is not any particular teaching. Religion is everywhere. We have to understand our teaching in this way.
We should forget all about some particular teaching; we should not ask which is good or bad. There should not be any particular teaching. Teaching is in each moment, in every existence. That is the true teaching.
Thank you! This was beautiful and profound!
I appreciate the teachings of this warrior. As it was stated, during turbulent times, it's all about survival & the strongest survive. If not, you'll become a victim. It would be nice to live in an utopian society, however, that's not my experience nor is it the experience of most men who are burdened with the responsibility of being the protectors of his family & his Community. I think it's awesome how this Samurai was able to reflect on his past, which he may have done things he wasn't "proud" of & offer wisdom through his teachings to guide warriors of the future to understand that with manhood comes responsibility. The responsibility to be strong, intelligent, resilient, confident & assertive without being arrogant, abusive, uncontrollable & unwilling to accept valid information. We've all made mistakes in life, as did he, but to learn/grow from them will allow one to create a path of redemption & progression.
You’re smart bro. You got the ideas and words. Your next step?
Editing so it’s more punchy and faster to read or hear.
Someone with your ideas should always have hella likes.
I’m tired right now. Just been thru a struggle. So, take my advice kindly, less is more.
It’s advice I also need myself. If only to gain more traction from others…
Like tires bro, we need grip, not just power. That editing, that less is more… is the grip.
Take care, keep training… both inside n outside. 💪
Had a realization while reading/listening to this that I remembered from the Past.
“Happiness is not in getting its in being” meaning it’s not in getting what you want that’s fleeting, it’s in being who you truly are in integrity and honor.
Thank you Musashi
This narrative makes me jealous.
I wished my community college essays were written out like this.
Accept everything just the way it is means not to take things too personal. it is what it is. Be detached means not to be attached because having attachment is a weakness.
It’s because attachment is the root of all suffering
Do not think dishonestly.”
- Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings
Thank you❤ This was well worth listening to.
wow ... there are at least 3 youtube channels with videos displaying a title that includes the name of Miyamoto Musashi ... i watched one which talked about Miyamoto's life, then i saw the other youtube suggestions on the side; i could've just dismiss them thinking they are all the same, but i clicked on this one curious to see what else another youtuber can say about the main character ... i'm glad i considered watching ... this video is so different and precious ... thank you for sharing
You are the best don’t you ever forget
Yes I Have Chosen The Way of WALKING ALONE.
HERMIT MODE FOR A DIVINE DESTINED PURPOSE.
NAMASTE
ASE'
Outstanding work!
Have no desires, have ideals and study them. Follow your path with loyalty to make ideals the natural possibilities. Whatever happens, accept the reality and study why things happened the way they did. And have no feelings about it.
What a beautiful life. Only issue might be that human body is weak and always tend to conserve energy. One must be courageous enough to dance with the pain. Accept the pain and build the life over it and Im guessing that making peace with pain is the only true peace that a person can ever achieve.
As for Principle 3: 'Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.' I think 'e-motion' would be more accurate?
Thank you.
5:15 i found that if i try for awhile and then come back to it after my brain is less fatigued like in the morning i will beat it for try almost every time.
To everyone hearing this , I myself have done many errors in my life , I. Was not able to control my flow of life , I wanted to gather more pleasure through different social médias lead myself to disaster I hopefully regaining myself .I have alot of dreams like becomingore intelligent and physically better , I wanted to become better but someday I could not thrive through it , I losty character but now I remember my guru the teacher umusashi I understoody lessons from him to become fore cautious disciplined but enjoying life in its own way becoming for more myself I now know who am m I can understand why I couldn't focus I just wanted to say this to someone I will become myself
Good knowledge
Chillin while chillin
tell me what s/w do you use to make the animation (cartoon like) imagery, on this video. Its amazing.
I'd love to 'take a leaf ' from your book..
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks again in advance for your reply🙂
Peace...
Amazing 🥲
awesome reminders! 🙏
Just perfect 👌🏼
Exactly!
Excellent Amir-rimA! The best interpretation of senseis Musachis thinking for the occidental comprehension of a true japanese outlook to life and trascendence... Time ro share...
By the way, go beyond "philosophy".
Acepta todo tal como es.
No busques el placer por sí mismo.
No dependas, bajo ninguna circunstancia, de un sentimiento parcial.
Piensa ligeramente en ti mismo y profundamente en el mundo.
Estad desapegados del deseo durante toda vuestra vida.
No te arrepientas de lo que has hecho.
Nunca estés celoso.
Nunca te dejes entristecer por una separación.
El resentimiento y la queja no son apropiados ni para uno mismo ni para los demás.
No te dejes guiar por el sentimiento de lujuria o amor.
En todas las cosas no tienes preferencias.
Sea indiferente al lugar donde vive.
No persigas el sabor de la buena comida.
No te aferres a posesiones que ya no necesitas.
No actúes siguiendo creencias habituales.
No colecciones armas ni practiques con armas más allá de lo útil.
No temas a la muerte.
No busques poseer ni bienes ni feudos para tu vejez.
Respeta a Buda y a los dioses sin contar con su ayuda.
Puedes abandonar tu propio cuerpo pero debes preservar tu honor.
Nunca te desvíes del Camino.
love it
Relaxing vid
this is very well done ❤ thank you
Replace the word "Loner" with "Autist," still works.
created sme amazing work, both videos presentation and content. Well done. I love it. I subscribed.

Please keep sharing..

Amazing..i just accidently came across this channel and sw the wonderful content you have show-cased. brilliant stuff.
By the way is the channel monetized
Aww look at Lil lonely Jr . Gonna cry?
Playing video games is when I tuned out. It's your own take on someone else's mantra
It is what it is
Great video
Ironically, too many adverts! Naughty person
Also, have you noticed some conflict between "Success Seeking" and the essence of this?
Accept everything just the way it is.
Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.
Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
Be detached from desire your whole life long.
Do not regret what you have done.
Never be jealous.
Never let yourself be saddened by a separation.
Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself nor others.
Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.
In all things have no preferences.
Be indifferent to where you live.
Do not pursue the taste of good food.
Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need.
Do not act following customary beliefs.
Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful.
Do not fear death.
Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.
Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help.
You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honor.
Never stray from the Way.
You're the MVP for THIS comment! Thanks
33:49 that’s great but also get money for your medical bills most people in my country will not be able to pay
Is this a scary movie bruh?
I love the soundtrack😂
Thank you
Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤
That boi likes the backpack analogies huh
Easy to say, hard to implement.... and each explanation is but one possible way of understanding the principles.
There are many paths to the top of the mountain
You gotta start some time
@@mps9649
ok.... sounds like explaining away what happens, no matter what actually happens.
@ggrthemostgodless8713 no just that interpretations can differ based on different people's lives and experience. Also that you can get to the same destination many ways with different interpretations.
This was received
where is principle number 6? 🙂
I wish this was general information in teaching

So deep
Great video
Maybe more samurai visuals would go better with it
love this channel !
The videogame part feels like a reference to sekiro. Man, did i lose it with that game.
There are millions of musashi around the world then.
Let's Party. 🎉
Yes❤
Great content. Not Ai generated.
much like Jesus spoke of the 2 most important tenants, Musashi's last two Precepts are the whole of the Guidance, Die with Honor and Keep to the Way
People who watched this three months ago, how has this video helped you in life?
I'll let u know once I've watched it and returned here down the line

I can feel the lack of life experience in your voice. It's time to stop theorising about what's the way to live, and rather live. All this wisdom is the result of experience, his own experience. We must get our own, and grind that one, till we get our own juice.
That's hard to hear, but cant disagree either.
I like that but what if you've already made it several times and therefore lost faith in the whole idea of what so called success is supposed too be?❤
Never Stop Theorizing, Never Stop Studying. You Can Do Both Simultaneously 🙏
Horrible comment you don't "feel" anything
@@NicSilvestri Grow up.
This video made me feel really Old 👴
Bet he was the Floyd Mayweather of swordsmen 😂
I just work and pay bills. Nothing complex. Nothing exciting.
i will listen to this book after I have made my money
Principles by Ray Dalio.... thank you

I wonder how old the Japanese man was apone his death?
I still have a copy of The Book of Five Rings. Had it for decades. It is sort of a Zen book. Musashi lived by a very strict code.
61.

You forgot guns 31:16
Musashi wasnt a saintly honourable jesus character. He was a demon forged in the solitary forests and caves that he dwelt in. His works show how to become a demon and use isolayion to achieve mastery. Most of this is the self help crap that the guy talks about in the firat 2 minutes.
Does that make his teachings invvalid
@@thisislaflaretv5250 - Do you think his teachings are valid?
@@wealthypepe I not all the way versed in his teachings. I'm familiar. But just like any information you filter in the good and filter out the bad. That's with any type of teaching,spiritual tradition or philosophy
@@wealthypepe I made my point. Very clear. It was logical,rational and practical.So let's not be disingenuous . What about my statement you disagree with
@@wealthypepe No need to be arrogant or facitious. You wouldn't be in front of me with that attitude so knock it off . My answer was valid it just went over your head like a chandelier. Again I've read many teachings and you filter in the good and filter out what doesn't work. You should have asked do you like his teachings. A person's teachings being valid is a matter of perception.
accept
why’d this guy take a 10 minute video and make it 45
Seems like you're not paying attention
Likely allowing time for reflection and retention
