grim23"Many times, there are things we fear. Many of our fears are based on unwillingness to change. Conquering fear is never an easy thing, but attainable if we are willing to work it through.
... the way to overcome your fears is to face them. As you dwell among them, learn more about them. As you learn more about them, you may find that they are predictable, controllable or at least bearable. As you learn, your mindset will change and fear may go by the wayside.
Remember the words of the Master Jedi Yoda, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Anger leads to fear, fear leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
By facing your fear you can overcome it. By overcoming it you will open yourself wider, earn more respect and show others how to do the same."

"The mental attitude of Heihō is not different than that of the everyday attitude. In both peaceful times and in times of battle, it is the same. Be careful to ascertain the truth from a broad viewpoint. Do not become tense and do not let yourself go. Keep your mind on the center and do not waver. Calm your mind, and do not cease the firmness for even a second. Always maintain a fluid and flexible, free and open mind".
Musashi Miyamoto, The Book of Five Rings

thoughts fall out about this, maybe
Date: 2005-06-27 03:45 pm (UTC)In strategy your spiritual being must not be any different from normal. Both in fighting and everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. Even when your spirit is calm do not let your body relax, and when your body is relaxed do not let your spirit slacken. Do not let your spirit be influenced by your body, or your body be influenced by your spirit. Be neither insufficiently spirited nor over spirited. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit. Musashi Miyamoto, The Book of Five Rings
thank you more will be in my journal ~ it is where I am striving to flow from, not necessarily where I am going. Love, pinkk {drowning perhaps in The Water Book}
