Sun Tzu's 21 Principles of Power | The Art of War

There are five dangerous faults that may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper that can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor that is overly sensitive to shame; and excessive solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.

The difference that makes the difference is learning how to take control of your emotions and your thoughts, and becoming the leader you would want to follow. Be courageous. Be strong. Be bold. There will always be naysayers and people who try to influence how you think and feel, but how you think is always your choice. Be honorable to yourself, think greater than you feel, and remember that worry is a choice. Be the general in your own life.

Be the leader you would want to follow. Life is always about strategy and preparation—this is the Art of War by Sun Tzu.

Wabi-Sabi is a philosophy that teaches that true resilience is forged in the cracks.

A pristine sword is untested. It has no story. It has no soul. It is the scar on the steel that proves it has survived the battle.

To be complete is to be finished. To be perfect is to be stagnant. The ancient masters taught that the moon is most beautiful when it is partly hidden, for the imagination is stronger than the eye. Growth requires incompleteness. If you are finished, there is no room left to become stronger.. This is the secret of Wabi Sabi.

This esthetic is a strategy to find invincibility in your own impermanence. It is the art of turning your scars into your armor. These are the 7 Philosophies of Wabi Sabi.

I am prepared for what the world has yet to throw at me. I am aware that the bigger the struggle, the more I will grow. I am ready for any challenge life seems fit to face me with. I will not limit my challenges. I will challenge my limits. It may seem difficult at first, but all things are difficult at first. I am able to handle anything with grace. I am a warrior.

"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters."

– Epictetus
