1 PRINCIPLE ON A SUCCESS ATTITUDE - THE BOOK OF FIVE RINGS

“The manner in which a man carries himself is of the utmost importance both physically and mentally.  You are undoubtedly familiar with men who are quiet and strong and seem to be doing nothing….When it is necessary to attack, they do so with complete resolve, sure of themselves, neither overbearing in attitude nor with false humility.

“They attack with one purpose and one purpose only – to destroy the enemy.  They do not take false postures when they prepare for attack.  They simply attack with all their heart and soul…..

“Whether on or off the battlefield, there is no difference in spirit.  The warrior sees all of life as a battlefield….You must commit yourself to constant study in order to develop the perfection in your soul evident in the demeanor of the spirit.”

In this modern world, you need your physical and mental strength.  You need an attitude that you will conquer these challenges.

Many people have never been trained to develop their physical and mental strength to maintain, much less get ahead, in modern times.

This is evidenced in their poor physical health, financial strains, lack of control over their work environment, and in their conflicting relationships with their own self and with others.

The awesome opportunity is that as long as you desire to overcome your challenges and take action, you can win.

Keep building your strength.  When you are ready, the tools will be front of you to use.

Kind regards,
