The Ten Tenets of Bushido
* Rectitude (義, gi) - Was I morally righteous in my actions? What can I do today to further my journey along The Way? Did I do something beautiful to make the world a better place? Is there someone who needs to be protected or avenged that I should take it upon myself to do so?

* Courage (勇, yū) - What gave me pause today? Was there something I feared that I avoided? If not, let me seek out something I am afraid of and overcome it.

* Benevolence (仁, jin) - Who was I kind to today? Was there someone in need of my kindness that did not receive it? Could someone use my service or guidance?

* Respect (礼, rei) - Did I show respect to others today, even if they didn't deserve it? Did I earn respect? If not, who does not respect me and what can I do to change their mind?

* Honesty (誠 makoto, or 信 shin) - Was I honest today in word and deed? Was I honest with myself? Do I know of a falsehood that endangers another? What can I do to resolve it?

* Honor, Glory (名誉, meiyo) - What did I do to bring honor upon myself and my family? Did I do something to dishonor myself or another? What can I do to assuage that shame? Is seppuku truly my last honorable resort?

* Loyalty (忠義, chūgi) - Was I loyal to my friends, family, and sworn masters? What can I do today to prove my loyalty?

* Filial Piety (孝, kō) - Did I show the proper respect to my elders? Did I allow someone to disrespect theirs? What can I do to restore honor?

* Wisdom (智, chi) - Were my actions today wise? What council can I take from my experiences? Is there someone who I can take council from? What did I learn today? What can I do today to improve myself? Did I philosophize or meditate on any great mysteries? Did I try to uncover any?

* Care for the Departed (悌, tei) - Were the souls of the dead and their final resting places (especially those of my ancestors) cared for and protected? Who is looking out for their interests if not me? Did I bring my noble ancestors honor? What did I do today they would be proud of?
