The world is getting overwhelming right now. I get that. When the world starts to get the better of you, it is good to have a baseline to return to so you can center yourself.
“It is bad when one thing becomes two. One should not look for anything else in the Way of the Samurai. It is the same for anything that is called a Way.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai
What is your way? I’ve said this a lot. I’ll say it a lot more. You need a way. You need an obsession. You need a mission. And you need a mission that cannot be completed. Something that must always be done. That is what you can return to in times of great upheaval and stress. What is your way? What is your impossible mission?
When things get too much, go back to your way. Ask yourself: how can you take one simple step upon your way? Then do that.
