I dunno about that... I’ve seen lots of videos of blue haired antifa soyboys that think they know how to fight get their asses handed to them. It’s better to know your limitations and educate yourself in your weak areas and never stop training to fight.
This ^^^
Feel-good pep talks crash hard when they run face-first into the cold, hard wall of reality.
It is better to follow paths of life-long learning and improvement in all areas that interest you... instead of giving yourselves the equivalent of worthless participation trophies.
If the OP is an actual quote from a samurai, then it stands to reason that his life would encompass conflict as he would have navigated this life at the end of a sword, wholely devoting himself to serving his lord with honour and dying a noble death by merit of his way - the soylent know nothing of this kind of life or where such advice would have context.
I remember Miyamoto Musashi once writing something along the lines of it being wrong to think your opponents as strong, but he is also noted with saying "A thousand days of training to develop, ten thousand days of training to polish.", and that one should never be lazy and to always be in the act of training.
If you're not training every single day and even more so putting it into practice, this advice will never find application in anything but distortion.
I think it should go with this wisdom that we consider all other action as language aswell. Is sitting on your ass and consuming, and consuming, and consuming not disrespectful towards oneself? Actions speak louder than words, but are never entirely seperate and can be considered a language all of their own, and one is with the utmost certainty lessened by poor fluency in this regard.
Respect yourselves, kings.
Talk yourself up like a good best friend.
Dream and believe in yourself for greater, but don’t feel heavy by the gap. Just fight for your progress. Practice makes progress. A new you to a new you to a new you.
I feel like this is good advice. I believe that whatever your brain hears, even if it’s from yourself, it believes on some level. Like your brain just accepts everything at face value, and only after consciously thinking about it can it decide if it’s really true or not.
So negative self-talk is terrible because just hearing those words is enough for your brain to believe them, at least a little bit. Ditto for positive things.
I can’t remember her name but I recall a video of a woman advising looking in the mirror once everyday and saying “I am enough”.
So...
I really am a door gunner on a space shuttle in an ultra super-secret covert outfit that uses time travel to insert operators into "problematic events" to ensure said events are resolved to our alien friends in The Federation's wishes?
You left out Jabba the Huts gay cabaña boy but everything else sound ok to me...
