How To Build Your Self Discipline - Miyamoto Musashi

In this video we will be talking about 4 important insights for building your Self Discipline from the wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi. Miyamoto Musashi is considered to be the greatest swordsman ever in the history of Japan, in large part due to his almost surreal discipline.
So here are 4 important insights for self discipline from Miyamoto Musashi -
01. Avoid doing things just because they feel good
02. Focus on one thing, and broaden your horizons in it
03. Stay focused
04. Live with integrity and preserve your honor
I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope you find these insights form Miyamoto Musashi very helpful for your self discipline.
A samurai at first, and then a Ronin, Miyamoto Musashi is considered to be the greatest swordsman ever in the history of Japan, in large part due to his almost surreal discipline. Indeed It is being said that he fought 60 duels, and never lost one. He fought for the first time when he was 13 against an experienced Samurai, and came out victorious. He took down the greatest swordsman at that time, one by one, until the throne was his, and his alone. However, Miyamoto was more than that. Not only was he a master of his craft, but he was also an artist, a cerebral philosopher and a buddhist. He sought meaning, wrote war and philosophy books, and his work became a blueprint for people who want to live a disciplined life. A week before he died in 1645, Miyamoto Musashi wrote 21 principles called “Dokkodo '' by which he expresses a stringent, honest, and ascetic or strongly self-disciplined view of life.

One thing to keep in mind is that achieving your life goal won’t necessarily result in happiness. I worked so hard my whole life to get into a good medical school that it was almost anticlimactic when I achieved it. I realized I put this goal on such a pedestal that it took away from my ability to live in and be thankful for the current moment. I’m loving it now and working towards an even more ambitious goal, but I’m trying to be more engaged and find meaning in daily life. Probably common sense for a lot of people, but it took me far too long to realize this.

[@sadiaarman363]

1) Avoid doing things just because they feel good. Having meaning is what truly makes us happy. Contant indulging in pleasures doesnt make us happy. It can lead to emptiness or even addiction in some cases. The antidote to pleasure is meaning. Believing in something that pulls you forward. If you compound all the pleasures of life, together they do not still measure up to the sayisfaction of doing an act with meaning. 2) Focus on one thing and broaden your horizon in it. Practice the realization that by knowing one way, you know a thousand. We are showered by countless possibilities. In fact each of these possibilities can give rise to greater anxieties. Such a going to a buffet with hundreds of dishes that leads to decision paralysis. Soon you have one messy plate. People get disoriented when they have too many choices. When you try different fields and opportunities without going deep into them, and then try again, we shall always be in re- start mode. 3) Stay focused. Never stray from the way.

[@Unknowledgeable1]

As I sit here, reflecting on my own journey towards greater self-discipline, I am reminded of the wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi, the great Japanese swordsman and philosopher. Musashi believed that true self-discipline is not just a matter of willpower or self-control, but of mastering oneself at every level, body, mind, and spirit. To build your self-discipline, Musashi taught, you must start with the basics. Train your body every day, until it becomes a finely-tuned instrument of your will. Train your mind, too, by learning new things, seeking out challenges, and never giving up on your dreams. And train your spirit, by cultivating a deep sense of purpose and meaning in your life, and dedicating yourself to a higher ideal. But even with all of these tools at your disposal, building self-discipline can be a difficult and arduous task. There will be times when you feel like giving up, when the obstacles seem too great, and the path ahead too steep. It is in these moments, however, that true character is forged. To overcome these challenges, you must tap into your inner strength and resolve, and remind yourself why you started on this path in the first place. Whether it is to achieve your goals, to live a more fulfilling life, or simply to become the best version of yourself, your purpose must be your guiding star. And when you finally reach the summit of your journey, when you have built the self-discipline and the inner strength that you need to succeed in life, you will realize that it was all worth it. For the greatest reward of self-discipline is not the achievement itself, but the person you become in the process. So go forth, my friends, and take up the challenge of building your self-discipline. It may not be easy, but with time, effort, and dedication, you too can become a master of yourself, and achieve the success and fulfillment that you deserve.

Miyamoto worked ultimately for himself. He found his interest and made a path. When you work for someone else, being disciplined in the same ways serves the employer; ultimately leading to unfullfillment and discontent in yourself. This is why we must hold companies accountable for producing meaningful work.

We’re in a good place to become great. Back then, it was discipline or death of the body. Now, it’s discipline or death of the soul. In this world, pleasures and weakness is all around us.

For me, Miyamoto Musashi's view of focusing on one skill taught me that you don't jump from one skill to another. You need to find ways to use your one skill in achieving more skills. You will find opportunities to use your skill for business, helping the world, finding happiness etc., and in that way, you will make "a thousand ways out of it".

@@dahianamonzonmartinez3614 Applying what you learnt. Learning a skill can simply give you experience in learning. I learnt how to use nunchucks and because of what I learnt (muscle memory, how objects interact with wind and movement, etc.) I was able to pick up many objects and do tricks with them. Water bottles, what ever the heck thumbchucks are, and flags just to name a few. I picked up a girl’s color guard flag once and was able to do a bunch of tricks with it. That ended in them saying I should join color guard, but I wasn’t that interested. It also believe it allowed me to develop muscle memory with more ease. One more thing, it taught me the speed of learning. It seems like it’s a J curve for most things. Starts out easy, picking up lots of techniques, but then gets a little harder to learn, before flat out seeming as though it would take years to learn everything.(Dunning Krueger effect may explain this too)

[@user-qe7bt9dz1l]

I think despite the past being a tougher overall experience, I think in Miyamoto’s days, discipline was easier to do because there was less temptations lying around. No tv, no video games, no movies, no entertainment, no addicting cell phones, no drugs except alcohol, no porn, less overall temptations, etc. All you really had was the basics for living and when you’re not doing that, what else was there to do?!?? Most men would probably be attracted to being a warrior for some excitement despite war and death being hell but we all know how men are… Personally I’d find it easier to be disciplined in those days because BY DEFAULT those days WERE uncomfortable with no heaters or A/C’s not to mention killer boredom. So he has great advice for discipline but then he also didn’t have all these temptations to deal with that we have today. Hell, I’m sure he could still conquer discipline in this era but I’m just saying for the sake of point and perspective. People underestimate the unique challenges this era possesses despite it being the most comfortable. Our challenge this era isn’t war like back then but in overcoming the peak of temptations and distractions!

Chivalry is the worst and just dumb . Honor as in self respect is good but honor as in dying for in a war for another’s greed is dumb . A lot of heroic traits like this are just to manipulate men into dying and working for another. Providing protecting for women was to make men join armies and do too much work for the touch of women. So yes self respect is good and respectful towards others is good no one owes anyone a anything. You open a door for the next person so they hold it for the next doesn’t matter the gender . Being polite based off gender is why men aren’t valued or cared about a man could be dying and a women with minor injury might go first . You respect and are polite regardless of gender race or ur sexists racist. Chivalry is why women view men as wallets and severs they expect stuff just bc they exist. When you give ppl that much support they’re gonna feel entitled.

@@solomonsanabria7092 absolutely agree man 💯💯💯. The japanese seemed to have figured out wayy back in the day that chivarly is just mass glorification of simp behaviour and just stuck to bushido and self respect and immense discipline. meanwhile, european chivalry started a whole ass simp movement that is lasting to this day and will continue to exist in the west and enable more narcissistic and entitled women.

So yeah thats all true, but if you only focus on the goal you want to reach, the way to the goal begins to get harder and harder. You also need to find a way enjoying the process and to love seeing your self work.💪🏻☺️ Wish you all the best and keep trying as hard as you can, that‘s the way.

Miyamoto Musashi wrote the Dokkodo 21 path to achieve Happiness in life He is like the Gautama Buddha of India from Japan like Gautama Buddha he is born in a wealthy family like a Prince but he followed his heart and mind and seek enlightenment and perfected the skill of swordmanship and by wandering all over ancient Japan

[@hisholinesssriak7618]

Musashi wasn't a duelist like viewers imagine. He typically killed his opponents with his first strike. He didn't parry and "sword fight", he killed.

Theres a film called Spartan. Where this exchange (roughly)follows: A: soldier, what is your training? B: knife fighting sir A: knife fighting?! From now on you teach your recruits how to kill. So that next time the meet some poor fuck who learned knife fighting and they put him in the dirt. In essence there is a difference between fighting in any form and effective killing. It is telling that even two complete novices might go several rounds in a boxing match but they say in assault cases the victor of an altercation is determined within one second of the altercation. Chiefly the first attack and attacker seal victory by their opening move.

[@bzunderdog695]

@@Vectivuss I think he’s saying this: people think he would elongate the duel and try to make it fancy. He was focused and skilled enough to end his opponent in 1 strike. Typically this happened with expert duelists.

[@musamusashi]

Extended duels as we see in movies were the rare exception: the katana is relatively delicate and not made to be clashed over and over. What we see in Iaido, althoug performed in the standardised form of Kata, is closer to what would normally happen: one or two lethal blows and the duel will be over.

The thing is, I wanted to be a great skateboarder. I skated for 20 years before I realized I’m just not good at it. I don’t have the balance, or the raw talent. I really did everything I could, but sometimes you have to have talent. I agree with the philosophy, but you have to make sure it’s something you can do before you put your whole life into it. Some people find their calling and some don’t. That’s the tricky part, in my opinion.

Thank you so much for making this video, I find it very inspiring and helpful. The Human Condition is unstable except in the best of times. In the best of times someone special has the ability to communicate both ideas and emotions using tools that no one thought of or perhaps the tools were judged to be inept or weak. Bushido and Fedual Japan was a very dangerous time and anyone who survived was truly blessed, or maybe the blessed ones perished when they were not looking? That is an interesting question. Anyway thank you again.

If only you'd mentioned how Miyamoto Musashi inspired the comic book character, Miyamoto Usaagi of Usagi Yojimbo, written by Stan Sakai.

[@YassineTamani-tr8kp]

Avoid doing things just because they feel good: Miyamoto believed that seeking pleasure for its own sake was a distraction from the pursuit of greatness. Focus on one thing and broaden your horizons in it: Miyamoto dedicated his life to mastering the sword, and believed that by focusing on one skill, one could express it in thousands of ways. Stay focused: Miyamoto encouraged individuals to stay focused on their goals, and not stray from the path, even if it meant avoiding the pleasures and luxuries of life. Live with integrity and preserve your honor: Miyamoto believed that living with honor and discipline was key to overcoming greed, covetousness, and selfishness, and was an essential part of the Bushido code of conduct. Prioritize what is useful: Miyamoto encouraged individuals to prioritize what was useful to them, even if it meant sacrificing short-term pleasures, in order to reach their goals. Act with courage: Miyamoto believed that the virtue of honor required individuals to act with courage and defend what is right. Be compassionate: Miyamoto believed that the virtue of honor required individuals to be compassionate, even when in positions of power. Be loyal: Miyamoto believed that the virtue of honor required individuals to be loyal to those they care about. Live an honorable life: Miyamoto encouraged individuals to live an honorable life, which was key to living with discipline and avoiding punishing oneself.

I disagree - it would be accurate to say he was the greatest swordsman of all human history. Of his 60 duels (to the death) 54 of them were fought using only wooden swords that he personally carved on the way to each of the duels. He often did not even prepare for the fight - would just wake up last minute and immediately go directly to the fight, often showing up late.
