Principle #1 - Righteousness or Justice (make decisions that align with our true values) Principle #2 - Courage (step outside our comfort zone and face the tasks that scare us) Principle #3 - Continuous Practice and Improvement (devote time to self-improving skills) Principle #4 - Benevolence or Compassion Principle #5 - Respect Principle #6 - Honesty and Sincerity (a bushi would never say things twice - acknowledge and understand it, be truthful with mistakes and plan ways out of it) Principle #7 - Honor (honor my commitments, keep the promises) Principle #8 - Loyalty (do not be disloyal to myself)

Embracing Self-Discipline In Your Life Avoid The Perfectionist Trap. ... Don't Punish Yourself For Success. ... Learn To Switch Off. ... Don't Schedule Every Last Minute. ... Remember The 80/20 Rule. ... Watch Out For Downtime Anxiety. ... Procrastination Is An Indicator, Not a Sin. ... Realize That Self-Discipline Needs Practice.

[@keimi_23]

"The goal isn't to be the best, it's about being better than you were yesterday." Again, thanks Ruri. I think I need to apply this mindset in my every day life.

[@ishsiriram6646]

Yes, this is the key...progress. The only person you have to beat is yourself.

[@ommanipadmehum4975]

A lot of words but sometimes (from my old ages the field showed me what works). I believe in you @Mindborn23 You can improve your life and it has already been started. You do great. You have an uniqueness that Universe needs. Never blessings are apart of you from past, now and future. i take on me all negativ forces they will not pass ! Free now the way is yours 🌟

日本の文化を紹介してくれてありがとう。素晴らしい日本の文化をもっと日本人も意識するべきですね。

[@ColbyFultonDrums]

I’m addicted to your content and accent

[@SinSationNation]

The one thing that I don’t procrastinate with is watching your new videos right away when you upload them 😊

[@JohnM...]

I have always been interested in reading about Miyamoto Musashi, and one of my favourite writers is Junichiro Tanezaki, a sort of Japanese Honore de Balzac. I have recently started to learn Japanese because of these interests, and came across a quote by Miyamoto Musashi that really resonated with me, as i have always had a problem with being too cowardly especially in career, abd with women), and this quote is so INCREADIBLY DEEP that it helps my biggest problems of laziness, procrastination and lack of courage: "When you want to win in Battle, you must fight as if you are ALREADY dead." - Miyamoto Musashi -.

[@amirnki]

You know what is interesting in your videos. You talk about things that you are completely familiar with but your audiences do not know anything about them. Like things related to Japanese culture. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@markus_rut]

YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH! I only recently discovered your channel, but especially in times where I find myself in a rut or unmotivated, your videos gave me inspiration and focus. Thank you!

[@TheStrugglingShiba]

I think the best thing I did this year was invest in myself by joining a time management course. Not only did my coach have a great program, community and system, but the level of accountability, and having someone there every week on coaching calls that actually walked the talk and knew what we were going through really helped me. Those 8 weeks have saved me years and years to come. I paid for speed and urgency and it immediately paid off, and videos like these just help me add more reinforcement to my existing structure! Thank you Ruri!

[@Chan-cm9do]

Your English is very understandable and fluent. It doesn't make you tired while listening. Congratulations Ruri

[@brunopenteado4027]

Hey Ruri thank you for sharing .. I'm a brazilian n I've learned japanese martial arts here w old masters from Japan since the 80's and I had the opportunity to learn another way as u described called Shugendou .. I believe that u know as well n also helps me a lot to keep up the pace in life 🙂 thank u for this beautiful culture n for spreading this knowledge .. the world we live in needs it がんばてください🎁‼️

[@dellyzabeth]

It's not like I don't wanna watch serious stuff but your titles are so accurate that I just have to. I needed this. Thank you.

[@NanaNaturalJapaneseLesson]

You definitely have the Soul of samurai. Thank you for informative video as always,

[@merlionkingdom]

Thank so much Ruri for teaching us what is kaizen principles and we could apply it to our lives ❤

[@annaspeaks373]

I struggle with procrastination a lot, but then I changed my approach and everything changed. Of course it takes time and you need to learn a lots of things about yourself but then you will become the winner

[@micasainthecloud]

I always love the way you share knowledge to us. You're very calm and sincere. It feels good to listen to your videos because I don't feel being rushed in, instead, it is like you're going this path together with us. Thank you so much for your videos, Ruri. Love from here ❤

[@FredMaverik]

She's the definition of commercial.

[@titiojack]

Ruri is so essential to KZbin that I would love to meet her in person someday. Thank you very much for your lessons. Big hugs from Brazil.

[@aryangoyal2303]

I don't know how you do it But everytime I'm dealing with a problem within a day or two , you upload the video in the same topic!!! thank you so much for that❤ it helped me alot!! People say what can a video do? But the thing is you just need some motivation to reach your goal weather its internal or external!❤

[@rikirikiswx]

Amazing, I did not know about it but came to some of this principles by myself. The most part I learned from working as an it specialist in a group of professionals in a big company.

[@funnytv-1631]

There is an anonymous saying: “It’s not happiness that brings us gratitude. It’s gratitude that brings us happiness.“ If you look around yourself right now (or look within) listen for a surge of gratitude. Or even a little trickle. Breathe in. Let your shoulders drop as you exhale. When it comes to you, note it here.

[@patientcix7810]

This is a great video. I really like Makoto, because reflecting with myself helps me understand what I am putting off and why. I want to learn Japanese(signed up for mochomochi) and I have been putting off studying it. I think it's because I am being challenged at the level I'm at and maybe I'm afraid to fail memorizing things quickly. But failure is okay, I should continue to work at my goals. Thanks for this video Ruri.

[@ShakeelAhmad-vh7iv]

Makoto is my ideal too. It is the golden way to see yourself and know your True worth.

[@robertavila1863]

9:34 is priceless, and the very philosophical nature of gripping content ethos.

[@yohei926]

"武士に二言はない" also implies that I don't lie to you or that I want you to trust me. I'm studying English now. Thank you for explaining Samurai mind!

[@mauriciosangaletti4479]

Self-improvement is the key of life. It is what the differences between peoples. I know today the importance of learning things, reading books, watching different things, and making day-a-day in my life what I know.

[@Christian-ve4bs]

Im being serious Ruri! This has to be the best video of advice you had ever made! You are a badass warrior!

[@ShuToshio]

To face challenges and get out of comfort zone does not have to be a sudden change. The bigger the change, the more resistant you are. You can start with a fraction of the work and gradually get yourself into it, the important thing being the fact that you start to take action and are aware of your agency. There is a certain benefit for procrastination and that is giving yourself time to expand and deepen the quality of your thoughts and plan, but start promptly and take it in steady pace, allowing some kind of "regulated procrastination". Starting things early will allow you time for such procrastination.

[@honchuk920]

Your speech is soothing and additive. Easy to listen. Thank you!

[@tryiteatthatfood.5115]

I struggle with procrastinating I am glad I found your channel

[@liamodonovan6610]

[@HCTripleC]

Thank you for making this video, I’ve been struggling with poor mindsets and the concepts you’ve outlined are exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the great content!

[@algargantilla8388]

[@asmrvideos1248]

ruri seni ingilizce kanalina ağırlık vereceğim dedigin gunden beri takip ediyorum ve buralara kadar gelmen cidden büyük bir başarı sanki gözümün önünde büyümuşssün gibi :) sendeki bu disiplin olduğu sürece herşeyi başarırsın umarım hayatında daha başarılı olursun頑張れ！ - seni destekleyen birisi

[@thinkyoung]

Ruri - I appreciate your strength of character. I experience you not as a KZbinr - but as an honorable teacher

[@mrgreen4874]

Thank you once again Ruri for making a key difference in my self improvement journey!

[@ElijahABrost]

Improvement requires implementation. "An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory." There are so many ideas out there telling us what is good or what is better, but you don't know until you experience it yourself, until you're able to test it out, applying it to something real in your life. This is essential to Kaizen.

[@mp3_prod]

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT. I've been so inspired by your work to raise the bar on my own content. Your editing and storytelling is so engaging, without sacrificing any of the art or passion you'd like to fit into each video.

[@ishsiriram6646]

"Kon'nichiwa Ruri". Awesome and Inspiring...I have been learning martial arts, "karate" and hapkido for many years. The discipline really helped mold me. Listing to you was great. Procrastination is something I am always conscious of, always reminding myself and pushing forward. Very valuable tips hear-in. Will be watching this video many times. Working on my first KZbin video(not uploaded yet). One of the most difficult things I have done. Thank you, God bless. "Yoku natte"

[@fernandohuaranca8006]

I love your videos Ruri, I'm practicing my english skills and your content inspires me to keep going

[@singo7427]

Its so easy for people like YOU to be better person

[@quarkoloca5832]

Great video! A lot of what you say falls under the philosophy of Stoicism. I highly recommend reading “Discipline is Destiny” by Ryan Holiday. He mentions a master swordsman practicing drawing his sword two thousand times a day and also something closely related to Jūnzai which is to “achieve formlessness.” Change is the only constant and it’s not good to be rigid in your methods. Thanks for the video, Ruri! 😊

[@Tuelis97]

Stoicism itself was influenced by teachings from the East - interesting to see how the wheel turns!

[@quarkoloca5832]

@@Tuelis97 It’s good stuff 😂 completely changed my life

[@Hosein-Rezayi]

That's what I Need thank you very much Ruri 🙏

[@Scar1sh6027]

Miyamoto Musashi was truly a remarkable warrior! Kudos to you as well for transferring us this knowledge!

[@hazemahmed6943]

I heard about Bushido before, and I was really interested in it, and the way you explained those 7 virtues makes really a lot more comprehendable to me. I'm really excited about it and I want to try to apply the code Bushido in my daily life and see where it takes me. Especially, since there are lots of things that wish to improve on. Thank you so much for this helpful video 🙏.

[@pradatorgames]

Thank you for inspiring millions of people around the world, hugs from Brazil.

[@patjoe7769]

Just, thank you! Your content is gold! It's incredibly well said. "i've learned these principle for 22 years already, yet I'm still improving" Those are your words. Amazing :)

[@stevelondoner985]

Arigato gozaimasu, Ruri.. hijo ni takaku hyoka. 😊 This was a very welcome video, and very succinct in your delivery of it, and it's multi-tasked message. It's a gentle reminder of what I'd learned in my various styles of martial arts over the years, and what I instil into my everyday life. Keep striving, keep improving, and keep the videos coming. Love it!... Steve, London, UK

[@jhobloodflowerz]

Your content is helping me to organize my priorities, i'm very grateful. I admire your posture and how you do things. Hugs from Brasil. :)

[@mayathu261]

Thank you Ruri, I find this video very helpful. For now, I'm choosing "Principle #7: Honor" to stick to my plans and promises to others and improve myself

[@AUS-BeMyBestNow]

This is so similar to the path I am on. Bushido is so similar to the code of the knights of the round table with self love and gratitude. I have OCD with my honesty and a strong ability in diplomacy as a result. Additionally I would like to help you with the knowledge that perseverance is not pronounced in the Japanese fashion it is more like per, sev, erence this is about the only way I can say a big thank you for your help in my growth education. Stay abundant and blessed.

[@ingenieriayconstruccion66]

I'm putting your tips into practice, thanks Ruri.

This unique philosophy valued honour, reckless bravery and selflessness, as well as duty to the warrior's master with the purpose of giving up one's life and embracing death.

[@astroarohahanada]

Thats a very positive and embracing principle.. thanks for sharing it a very cool way to

[@TheEycer1995]

As always great video Ruri, thanks for sharing this philosophy

[@Denis-mg1wj]

Its amazing when someone who actually grew up in the culture explains it in a way westerners understand. When others explain it its sounds so mystical and you have no clue what they are talking about (not just this). Are you familiar with Dokkodo ? It might be a good video if you have time. Oh and thank you for this video its wonderful ! 🤩

[@immortal_newbie]

It is amazin how Bushido resembles Marcus Airelius stoic philosophy in his meditations. Ruri I may never meet you in real life, even though I plan to travel the world to learn as much as I can, but I want you to know this: You have no idea how life changing your videos are, and the fact that you are so young and so wise is a testimony of the struggles you have gone through. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, your videos reached me in very difficult time and have touched my spirit very deeply... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! =)
