There are only 20 principles, maybe 19. You skipped principle 14 and Jealousy is mentioned twice.
What is principle #14? There were only 20 in the video…#14 was skipped.
Found it…#14, Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need.
I literally felt that the absence of # 14 was a test, a test to me to let it go.............. So, I am approaching this with sense of detachment and non-attachment, recognizing that everything is impermeant and subject to change. By doing so I have freed myself from the burden of #14 and allow myself to fully embrace the moment. I do not want to neglect that I want to know why there is no #14 and what is #14, rather I am encouraged this with a sense of detachment and nonjudgmental, recognizing that my inner peace now and always lies within me. SO, THANK YOU, for this video and helping me on my journey and awakening . ....... If there might be a #14 you have forgotten please respond and do tell, I'm good eitherway and always, Sachi.
thanks, I thought #14 was a test to let it go and accept it lol @@jonlow4452

With you on this , be lucky always ,
Its. Great we all now connected. Yet aloan in our space &time .
We never alaon . ,
ONLY FOR REFLECTION/DEEPER CONTEMPLATION OF YOUR QUOTE -
And what if you are:
🔹The 'bad' friend?
🔹Judging and labelling others as 'bad' when others may see them as not?
🔹Conceited and believe yourself to be 'good' in all relationships (righteous, never at fault etc) if/when they become strained?
OF COURSE, THESE POINTS COULD (MAYBE SHOULD) BE REFLECTED UPON BY US ALL!
`I used to have many 'bad' friends, now I see that this thing I call 'my mind' or rather that part of it called the 'ego' was the worst and most dangerous of them!`
~my life's humble quote/KL 2023~
Now you're your best friend. I had learned the same lesson.
Robin Williams = "I used to think the worst thing in life was ending up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone."
Was forced at age 8 to be a loner. Stumbled & fell many times lost … and at 73 now realize it was a huge gift. Never belonging and coming to like my own company best is a real gift.
For me it was a preference… I felt very lonely being around people who didn’t share my values etc.
@@cramsa same. You're not the only one ❤
@wasabi, I'm happy with my same situation. ❤
@@Itswild38 true friends can sometimes be better than siblings
@@Itswild38 some of us loners, circumstances make us what we are.
This video is about a lot more than being alone. It's about living in peace and non attachment.
Go in peace ✌️ ☮️

I'm a loner, and I love it
Yet we now all connected, no one with a phone. Aloan now. , I need yall, I don't no yall. But I do need to be among yall. I no I'm alive., finding the right ones, ..stay lucky. X
Busy solitude is heavenly.
@Adventures Of The Times I'm sorry, but, speak for yourself, please
I'm like that. I went from working in night clubs. House parties that lasted for 3 days when not working. One of these people that the party just wasn't the same if I wasn't there. To joining the navy, highly popular and living alongside people who were as close as family. To now... working as an undertaker and completely dropped out of all circles of friends. Just working, training in the gym alone, and bringing up my kids with my Mrs. This chapter of my life is by far my most content.
any person who is truly alone, doesn’t enjoy it. most of you are CHOOSING to be alone and that’s the difference
He who is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast, or a god. -Aristotle
Love this.
This is G
Avoid extremes. Balance is key to life.
Never - be aware ... AVOIDING is death!
Your mind will thank you.
No, learn the lesson from Thanos
Musashi mentioned the middle path/chudan in The Book of Five Rings
Life itself is an extreme.
Talking to yourself is fine so long as you never argue.
Yes
Walking alone is better than miserable company.
Well said yes!👏🏼👌🏼
This is my ancestor! I am a Miyamoto. Right know we are living at a special time and I am blessed to be a Miyamoto and have my ancestors on my side right now. I wish the best for everybody and don't give up we got this!!! Find yourself and love yourself that's how we change the world by changing yourself....
👍👍
honor ur ancestor by doing good and living up to ur fullest potential
Hello sir
Thank you brother
❤
I am happiest alone living as a nomad in my tiny caravan it was reassuring to hear that I’m actually living by all these principles just on intuition. My solitude and lack of attachment to any place, person or things is a place of peace ☮️
Awesome! I resonated with this also.
These principles although they are very useful on the path of inner freedom and happiness, they are a natural result of discovering ourselves as simple awareness or being. They are not principles that we force on ourselves but rather the result of effortlessly be.

You know what what's better?...you should have a dog/cat along your journey 🐕🐱
"Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you."
Even from growing up in a bad household, I never liked being around too many people including family. But society teaches us that you always need to have people around to be happy. Some people function better alone and will pick the right people for them.
I found in life, you can be surrounded by many people and still feel completely alone. Some, like myself , create my family within my friendships.
I am glad that I am almost eighty-five and I'm not going to be around much longer, I'm holding in my mind that I'm going to disappear somewhere
@@sherwoodmorrow9170 somewhere you say. yes, but where? are you thinking about a place to stay silent for ever? do you care how and where. no difficult to know that those questions are the ones I ask myself being a loner. many thanks. would you like to answer.? sincerely yours.
@@sherwoodmorrow9170I pray Jesus is your savior so u will know where you are going and will remain for eternity
@@mirandaperez2101 there's no such a thing as Jesus it's an allegory it's a greatest story ever told it's lessons in life some places about treating each other
If all you do is detach, you never feel. If you do not feel, you are just a shell. You never truly live, and your life is wasted. I absolutely love when I am by myself, but there must be balance. Too much of anything is never a good idea.
How can we judge what being a loner is to someone. Let us be who we want to be. Don't put out your idea of us being a loner as bad. Everyone has a different degree of "lonerism" or how they live their life...
@@roguegypsy7827 Thank you, Miss Gypsy. I do not judge. I only offer an optional insight based on what I have seen in my many years of life. Peace and love to you, dear one.
My interpretation of these principles is that detachment will allow one to not be shaken by outside circumstances. In today's world... the politics, the finances, the divorces, the pandemics, the 9 to 5s, and everything in between... These things should not sway an individual into despair. I will bet everything that being non detached will fare much better than being attached and have "feelings" about life, for better or for worse.
Be careful being attached to the idea of detachment.
@@scottfitzpatrick1939 And now I will detach from this conversation.
I'm paraphrasing, "It is better to walk alone on a journey than have a fool for company". I forget who said it. Thank You.
Buddha. He said loneliness is better than the company of fools
Rhinocerous sutra, dhammapada. Siddharta Gotama.
The presence of others should never dictate or own agency. Discovering our “own” only happens without influence, validation or expectations. It can only happen in the freedom of being alone with yourself
Most of us are still surrounded by people, even when we are alone.
I long to walk outside my house and there be not a human soul around ... To be free to sing, dance, laugh, cry ... Whatever, but just to be completely unobserved by another human 🕊️
Correct. Unobserved, and unjudged🥹. Thank you for your insightful comment🥰
Just go find that place. Its not worth not being the person u grave for. Be, see yourself, allow yourself to come free. Nvm others its about you ❤
I live this life... In the rice fields of northern Thailand in Chiang Mai.

Overarching Themes: 1) self discipline 2) mindfulness
The path you walk is yours alone. The path is made by making yourself, your character, values and your ethics to life. This is something about you that nobody in this world can access. And once you have that understanding, you can make better decisions and respond to life, and to others, with more clarity and understanding.
This statement is quite loaded and rich with wisdom man ,I'm quite glad I bumped into it ,Wish I could hear more from you #PatrickGraven
@@bhulefx8111 Patrick droppin some wisdom
@@bhulefx8111 -
Humbly 🙏🏽
Possibly consider reflecting more deeply upon the part about *'how the path is made...* _ (see earlier comment)._
Then, reflect upon the' PATH' the Buddha says should be followed.
_*Do you know this 'pre described path' that needs not to be made but is said to be the solution to the end of suffering' - a path isn't created by anyone but just IS, and needs only to be followed?.. _If not google search it and you should find it and can study it_
I would humbly argue. that Buddha's path can only be followed according to ones own individual (karmic?) ability/capacity etc'_ only my humble opinion.
It may be worth meditating upon this view of (karmic?) innate inner and circumstantial ability/capacity with one first being volitionally able to do as stated in earlier comment.
Meaning to say;
*Can those that cannot do, do... OR, can only those that can do, do?*
If it IS the latter, then YES the earlier comment I feel applies and is unquestionable wisdom... But if it IS NOT, and its the former that applies, then how can the path be made?...
*PLEASE, SENT ONLY FOR YOUR OWN INNER DEEPER REFLECTIONS AND CONTEMPLATIONS*
I am no guru or arahant or teacher or expert.. just someone humbly sharing a few thoughts (forgive if they do not resonate).
Metta 🙏🏽.
So true
@@karlingukhmmm. Read go rin no sho. The questions you ponder is ones he studies deeply and have great understanding of.
You see. It is indeef all that can do, those whom choose to do that truly can, he who put discipline first will see strategy to all in life. If not? Then he is lacking these principles alongside it.
Musashi doesnt trust his ego and fame to carry him not even once did he trust anything except his body and soul. No expectations just pure determination and deep understanding.
You mudt detach from these things so thst you may attach to your own body and mind and to fully embrace oneself in the presence through following your own carved path to the top of the mountain will see a better view than those who climb the mountain following predisposed paths and doing it to gain materialistic gain.
Ones discomfort should be your comfort. No different from Ones combat stance being your everyday stance and Ones everyday stance being your combat stance just as musashi said.
Discipline is indeed the key to living a fullfilling life. You should not seek comfort but instead discomfort.
David goggins puts this in another way.
He faces his inner bitch as much as possible and dig deep to understand he is not anything beyond what he forces himself to be. But if he forces himself to be more than he is then he is doing it for egotistical reasons. Discipline shouldnt come from an egotistical place but rather a place of giving yourself that wich you NEED and not what you WANT or DESIRE.
Detach from desire and expectations.
These words are the true reflection of what you need to do for yourself whatever that may be.
For me? I always had strenght and Discipline but what i lacked was my reasons for it. I never did it to live a fullfilled life. I simply chased what o was told was the thing to make me happy. It did. But from an egotistical point. Made mr weaker more than stronger. These lessons taught me to simply exist in the present. No expectations to life. Only Discipline and building meaningfull and mindfull connections to people and my disciplines.
Facing my loner spirit was very difficult but once I did I became content.
BINGO
Same with me!
Yes!

Nothing worth doing is ever easy
One of the Hardest Lessons in Life is Letting Go. Whether it's Guilt, Anger, Love, Loss or Betrayal. Change is Never Easy. We Fight to Hold On and We Fight to Let Go. Stop Holding On to What Hurts and Make Room for What Feels Good.
Acceptance of our situation is key. Dealing with others (and ourselves) we need love in our hearts. I really quit people...they mistake kindness for weakness far too much.
when i had lots of friends i was never more miserable, 1 friend is more than enough
Exactly
It took roughly 35 yrs to realize it's *better* to be a *lone wolf* than the social butterfly. And, just now, I have found a name for it and what it really means. *Dokkodo*
Do you know that exact the same dokkodo low is had it’s exact similar thing in Islam called “ الزهد “ “ alzohd " it has the same values,the only different is you do alone but in the seek of god and connection with him alone with the feeling of his present everywhere and within you , far a way from the selfishness of dokkodo that you care only about your self not the greatest who created you
as Mississippi John Hurt sings,
"You gotta walk that lonesome valley,
you gotta walk it by yourself.
No one can walk it for you,
you gotta walk that lonesome valley by yourself."
my observation is,
"i fear no death,
i am following a well worn path
in the footsteps of my ancestors."
That’s what came to mind upon reflection 👍😊
I have always walked alone, don’t get me wrong I have many friends but I spend most all of my time with my dog Gigi ❤️
If you have a dog then you aren't alone. Being chronically alone isn't ideal. Life is better when shared. Hence why you have a dog and friends. What you probably mean is being single.
You have the best friend of all learn his ways ❤
@@dc8105 Well said, I learn from her everyday ❤️
Am dedicating my life to my dog and will be here when she passes. For now that is my purpose in life, to never break the loyalty that she showed me
That's not alone. I was never "alone" when with my dog for 15 years.
I left Africa at 16 stayed in the west, returned to africa at 50, a loner and I think that is one of the best gift I received from the west .
The West makes US real loner!
Come over to Australia the outback Australia is brilliant place
Hello fellow South African 😊 l left Africa at 20 and I'll be returning home at 60 😊 Can't wait to be in Africa again, the sights, the smells, the vibrancy, the joy, the people, the soul of Africa ❤ l embrace my loner qualities ❤ Stay blessed and at peace ✌️
I became a loner very young probly at age 7!
I have embraced my singleness with Joy in my HEART for it has allowed me to become my Authentic Self, and learn Self-love!
I'm 62 and still enjoying this path! What I always found interesting was how even in a crowd I could feel and remain separate from everyone and continue on my path of singleness, it never bothered me! I can entertain myself and cultivate myself extremely well alone, while most people need other's, I just needed myself and GOD, to talk too😊!
I found Self-love was the key for me, because I came from a abusive environment and my singleness allowed me structure and solitude to reflect upon my dreams and goals for myself too reflect on! And accomplish by myself!
I had No play mate's I was Ostracized so my books and outdoors environment such as Trees, Animals, Bug's became my friend's and who I had relationship with!
This did nothing but enhance my Psychic Abilities to relate to all thing's! And see the magic in the world, which enhanced my personality, it made me exceptionally different from other children, but I never cared about fitting in anyway!
My father caught me once talking to the Bug's and bird's he told me to knock it off, but by then it was too late it had become part of my normal behavior and life😂!
Since he was one of my Abuser, his opion of me carried no weight with me anyway, and when the other kid's tried to shame me for being different that carried no weight either because they had already Ostracized me, what more could they do to me, they just didn't know how much I enjoyed being alone and away from their influence!
Not even my siblings paid attention to me, except to harass me and cause trouble for me, I couldn't wait until they left me alone to get back to my own word!
As an adult I am pretty much the same, I have been Celibate for year's and don't even miss the sex😂! I use that creative energy for my mental, emotional and growth, and for knowledge and learning!
I have a TWIN-FLAME but we don't even speak, he's off in the world doing his sexaul thing, dealing with his Karmic expressions!
And I have done my best, to let his life lessons be his own growth experiences!
While I continue to walk this path in life🎉 alone!
And number 22: Always drink alone. You will offend no one, fight no one, and eventually tire of drink.
Also never drink when you're upset or mad etc it's a form of discipline that actually helped me.. now I don't feel guilty because I no longer fuel the madness with. Binge drinking which ultimately would lead me down the road to bad decisions/judgement.
@@anabellgonzalez3036 your analysis is pretty much what Dr. Peterson says. Alcohol is the cause of most bad behaviors. It flips a switch from normal to “anything goes”
Sounds.... logical.
Having experienced life for 50 years i believe i found Dikkodo many years ago. Facing my own death made me find peace.
If you can't be alone, you don't like yourself... How would anyone do then? What a great first step to be a better self...
Peace and quiet = peace of mind
Probably one of my favorite videos on YT.
I watch this every time I need to stay grounded.
Success is overrated.
Happiness is overlooked.
yeah me and my bros are *trying* to fail 😤😤
In my experience I've noticed that messages come my way when I most need them. This video is that kind of message. It is what I need at this time in my life. It has validated what I have felt all of my life but never had the courage to accept it.
Here's another message for you: Musashi, referenced here, wrote The Book of Five Rings. Something to read time and again.
“You create your reality.” No blame. Sowing and reaping. Life happens for us not to us. peace+&-🌸
The only difference between a social butterfly and loner bird is flight patterns…both fly in the same sky…all is one…though the illusion of temporary forms would make it appear otherwise look closer.🔥
A proud loner 😊❤ i always gave love when it was needed
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing, Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financially stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly because money left for savings always ends up used without returns
Be a goal achiever
Always aim high so your dreams can come to reality
Use your job to finance your goals✅
You can't be an employee forever!
Consistent efforts in trading/investment will put you in a position where success will find you
Starting early is the best way to getting ahead of build wealth, investing remains the priority
@@markdamascus7878Having a job doesn't mean security rather having different investments is the real deal
I'm looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I have about $6k sitting in my savings
One of the biggest problems with friends is the groupthink mentality required for acceptance versus rejection. I really saw this during the covid narrative. . I saw so many people comply because of peer and family pressure to mask, stay inside, get experimental shots into their bodies, with their health now horribly damaged for life. I am so grateful that I have very few people in my life; thus, less conformity, less social pressure.
Agree. Same with me.
Spot on! I find spending any time with most people unbearable - pointless and dissatisfying so I try to limit my exposure. Reading a book and spending time in nature are more fulfilling.
@@fineweather4569 I have to agree with you . Either I tell people what is really on my mind and my thoughts (and get judged and criticized). Or I keep my mouth shut and play the game and what is the purpose of that?
@@MaryC-co8fm yes, people are happy with fake conversations. Didn’t used to be this way 20 years ago. There seems to be some cognitive dissonance, no one wants to discuss anything real/ true, no debate whatsoever. I think technology and social media over the past 15 years has resulted in a dumbing down, and created emotionally bankrupt people. Some genuine ones out there but they are a minority
💯
Basically do not get too involved with the world, only as much as necessary, & never emtionally, & have contentment & power over your emotions & desires. You'll be happy
Friends, I had friends in high school, most people are not your friends, no matter how long you have known them, if you find one ,that's great! But you can never be sure. Rule of life! 😊
A great philosopher himself from a Samarai. " Our actions, and thoughts, are dictated by our customs, social norms, and expectation from those around us. " If we do things out of the ordinary, then we are judged." " Sometimes, we have to walk alone, to be out of the box, to freely and truly find our happiness."
❤
That's so true. Everyone around me just gets drunk daily & I'M looked down on because I don't drink & I meditate 🤣
My life in detail. Fullfiled life all alone , never botherer by others judgements, never need much. Happy with myself.
I know I can’t be the only one who immensely enjoys solitude and time by myself, enjoying art compared to hearing people ramble on about themselves always trying to prove something. Interactions with people just rarely ever seem genuine in the first place. Love my family and they are all I really need. Thankful to have them.
Finally at the age of 51, I reached my level of acceptance owning all the choices I've made in my life. Accepting that I stand alone in my journey finally finding my peace I feel a sense of freedom. With every goodbye I learn.
It’s hard to be humble when your as great as I am!
Being a loner, has given me the time and energy to pursue so many of my hobbies and has enhanced my self-growth tremendously. Kudos to all loners. 🎉
My earliest traceable ancestor is a Japanese Lady in the Heian Period. Thank you for sharing this.
Very good advice. I believe people suffer MOSTLY because of their attachments to people places and things. We make rules for ourselves based on pur judgements and emotions. Practicing letting go is the key to finding peace. It takes practice but can be achieved.
More than a belief, these indeed are root causes of suffering
Almost dying alone in the woods and surviving opened my eyes beyond the realms of this world.
Damn expain
Yup facing death alone in a forest , injured with only God to speak too would of changed alot..
Glad you made it out..💯🤟🇦🇺💪🛠☝🙂
@Random Things fell alone in the woods. Sub zero Temps fell 25 feet shattered hip shattered pelvis broke right shoulder 10 broken ribs bruised lungs bruised femer severe hypothermia. 60 seconds walk to my trucking took hours then climb in it called for my own rescue. . Situation such as this, you realize what alone really is, truly. No one was coming. I was surely dead.. Been brutual road, was told I never walk unassisted again, been 53 months still suffer but I can do all I did prior except ruining any distance. Did sleep first 2 years due to misery and pain. You'll discover what your made of when you hit such a dark place. Also you realize no one can do it for you. You have too do it yourself. In life make yourself hard to kill spiritually physically and mentally.
@Mr Mr first thing I did when I hit the ground was said the lords prayers, never beable to describe the feeling and power of God that overcame me that day.
@@OleSmokey man I thought so..
He is soo near to us all..
I had demons attack me and instinctively I grabbed the old king James family bible and cried out to a LIVING GOD...
DEMONS FLED and I realised that I needed to make peace through Christ...28years ago...
Man you sounded that banged up, that I'm guessing the power that showed itself after that prayer was the only thing that enabled you to do all that, with severe bleeding fractures and hypothermia...
You have been through alot since then , I really do pray 🙏 you rise far above the pain and every other dark thing that has tried to kill you.....Thankyou soo very much for sharing this with us...
I hope you get to share that time and the proceeding battles on a stage of some sort.....ITS A POWERFUL STORIE BROTHER..
CHRIST BLESS YOU AND HIS SPIRIT COMFORT ,ENCOURAGE AND EMPOWER YOU....

Missing #14 - Do no hold on to things you no longer need.
So much wisdom, real insight. Nothing at all wrong with being a loner.
I went through a breakup 20 days ago. I have since watched this video twice, now coming back to it to remind myself of what I need. I depended on that person for too long, I depended on our companionship and was blinded by love for what goals lay ahead for me in my life. Being in Gen Z (I'm 19), it's not easy to just find new friends and form relationships, especially when you haven't had much friendship experience throughout your life. But this video has helped me through much of this breakup fallout I'm experiencing. Thank you for showing me Miyamoto Musashi's brilliance, Success Chasers. I appreciate it and I hope somebody else out there can relate.
How are you doing today, hopefully better

The hardest thing or hardest lesson for a human too really understand is nothing truly belong too you nothing is promise alot people choose too be alone because the best expectations are the ones you have for yourself and you save yourself alot of issues being alone
❤Yes & AMEN! The LAST is ALL WAYs the first! Well said dear bro, Mahalo! SHALOM!😊
i was born with the last name Loner. It has always followed me, moving my entire life. I have been learning to sword fight as a way of developing self confidence and have admired Miyamoto's philosophy for a while. amazing to find he self identified as a loner. i have also dealt with this issue of rejection for not following common customs. knowing that many others have dealt with this problem makes me feel like i am not alone amongst the many souls who have walked the earth in the past.
Lonely and solitude are brothers. Lonely is weak and afraid. Solitude is wise and strong, he is always happy no matter what comes.
I wouldn't say being lonely is weak or afraid. It's being alone without being content with it. I'd say it's the first step to solitude, as you'll learn to be content with being alone with time and practise (edit:) and with perspective
Well said.
Thank you for posting this. In my humble opinion there is one principle i live by and that is live your life with integrity and without worrying about the opinions of others... Namaste from an old fighter now living 15 years alone..
It was for the samuray of those generations. It's true that some advices can be good for us nowadays.
No one is alone when with Divine Spirit, God & his Angels..
Walking a path alone and being a loner are two different things. Nobody is a loner. We are not psychologically cabable of being completely alone for any long amount of time. That leads to depression and death. Walking your path alone means that you are on a personal journey that no-one else can truly follow. They will touch you and come across your path at certain points but they can't follow you. Accepting thst will lead to peace.
The first comment to understand this! Not to mention this video misrepresents musashi’s teaching as in the book of v rings. I hope people read the book instead of listening to this guy narrate a fanciful story that has very little to do with musashi’s teachings
Impeccable words! Well-said!
This guys an idiot , sounds like a you tube baby , raised in his mother house . My parents don’t even call me on my birthday, I was buying my clothes at 16 , now making 100k a year . All through being a complete loner and having nobody . Privileged you may be , and hey that’s great . But don’t act like you’ve been on the same end of life as me , and tell me this Garbo
Underestimate the power of mind
Hmmm, I lived 5 years, isolated from everything, no outside interference, no TV, no Radio, no Internet, just myself and my dog. I farmed, hunted and fished, zero human interaction but hey... you are an expert who understands the power of the human mind, the expert who can't do something so no one else can... ok
Bruce Lee once said: "Only the self-sufficient stand alone - most people follow the crowd and imitate."
P.S. And by the say, great video mate!
Dokkodo means the way of walking alone! In order to be strong one must learn to walk alone! Miyamoto Musashi
Often you will find that a person is not against you,
They are merely for themselves.
I agree. Being a loner doesn't mean you're a loser. I am one myself. I do have friends but aren't really attached to them. In school, I mostly do everything alone. People say I'm a weirdo. I don't care. I do my job and I get it done, just the same as how that same job could also be done by a team. Same speed, same quality, just all done by one single individual, rather than a group.
Having friends is a good thing. Just find the right ones. And these, are very hard to find. Some people shine when they are in a group, and some while they're on their own. And I personally, like the lone wolf approach. I don't have to wait for my friends to go anywhere, to do anything. All of what I do is for myself, not for others.

One of the wisest things God told me, when you notice something there is a reason. He enlightened me like the Buddha 8.4.2015. There is nothing in the Universe that is not a double edged sword. A cup of water can sate you or drown you. Your shadow can comfort you or trip you. The singularity created us. Namaste
This Video Right there changed my Life !!!!!!!!!!! I will be the Wizard of cricket !!! Hope God allow me to do so !!!!

If you're chasing success, you're doing it all wrong. You allow success to come to you. You just need to be vigilant and be willing to act on the opportunities that come your way.

Being a sword master also helps!
gratitude for another day of knowlege gained thru good/bad experiences as our private universe expands in unity w/CREATION ❤
It's been a pleasure to hear these statements. The principles are pretty close to the ideas and tradition of Theravada Buddism, at least to some extent and in my opinion.
You are right. Soka gakkai is a Japanese concept of way of life similar to the principle of dokkodo and is based on the philosophy of Buddhism.
A true guide to living a harmonious and peaceful life… thank you 🙏 ❤
It gets easier , I think if you live in service , you'll find alot of purpose and happiness there ❤
Musashi has given us the answers to a happy life.😊
I have always found great meaning and wisdom in the teachings of Japanese Samurai..
Learn to be alone to realize that you are not.
Thank you 🙏🏻
This video might have just saved my life it has made me feel worthy of my life I’m going to follow all these rules and live a fulfilling life 🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my CZcams channel 3 months ago about self development. Now I have 229 subs and almost > 90 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
This defines the 62 years I lived, consistently. I didn't know any other way. My first 3 years I was in a crib non-stop. Born 11 weeks premature and it devasted my socialite mother. It's by force of character, that I've endured. The best words to define my person; is I'm not of myself... independent of who I am, and happiness has never escaped me. I'm a bona fide loner.
Thank you for your intelligent insight and succinct way of conveying it. You're spot on!
❤

Introvert's 🥰 when you can sit with a fellow introvert and not say shit but enjoy the moment together ❤
Being alone i have learned how to be many in one body and all good company. Peace and good conscious are my best friend.
The crux of my life's lesson as a loner 👇
Don't live in the past as it will give you the pain of regrets. Don't live in the future as it will give you the anxiety & fear of the unknown. Only live in the present & now , this will bring you peace , contentment and a blissful existence , so much so that people will long for your company so that they could feel the same way .
No such thing as Now. only past and immediate future, you read this in the past.
@@hardlines2635
so NOW you tell me...
:D
@@hardlines2635Sounds like _The Twilight Zone_ to me. How do you say "immediate future" to anyone when tomorrow isn't promised for any of us? There are people who were alive just yesterday who didn't live to see this day. And there are people who are alive right now and they'll be gone before the sun sets tonight -- perhaps young and thinking they have their whole lives ahead of them, with no idea that the final hours of their lives are ticking down until they will take their last breath.
I'm four years now into a cancer battle and a week ago today, I made my final arrangements for my cremation and burial to be interred in an urn above my maternal grandmother's casket.
I have more loose ends to tie up, but my point is that my parents and beloved aunt are gone now, and with no real family and close friends who live nearby, I have to handle all this stuff myself.
I pray God will be merciful and draw my life to a close before the pain becomes all consuming and intolerable. I don't want to be a burden to anyone and being a loner with trust issues, I don't want anyone to have to bathe and take care of me. Anyway, I'm glad to have found this vid very early this morning. I truly needed it to help me make peace with my past and a love r'ship that didn't work out.
This is fantastic. Thankyou.
This video is a treasure. Thank you for making it available.
Dokkodo will save people's lives.
Walk the path, the way of the warrior, honor, compassion, loyalty. Nothing is worse than being surrounded by those who make you feel alone. Be true to yourself, be comfortable with who you are honestly and never stray from the way.
I love being alone esp.when i have my day off,i meet my friend maybe 4x a yr,during holiday or bday,😊😊😊i love going shopping or went to have coffee alone
Thank you, Amir!
Be like water ...flow around obstacles ..easy 🙏🦋🦋🦋💫💥
This is a life lesson fr
Thank you making this video. I truly need this today.
Thank you for this beautiful work.
In a few of these a greater sense of detachment can also be substituted for a greater sense of self “awareness”.
Living in Japan for many years taught me these. For ppl who are a loner like me, these principles would be well fitted on. Many didn't know that majority of Japanese are not materialistic unlike South Koreans where each and everyone are it seems to be in a race of who will get the most expensive bags and clothes or jewelries, that everything must be grand unlike Japan, japanese wanted the simplest but beautiful and meaningful. My 14 yrs there is enough to adapt customary and traditions.
