Practical Application of Ancient Code

This title outlines the 25 principle codes of Japanese sword fighter Miomoto Musachi. Among these principles are things like practicing detachment from lust and emotion, not being jealous or covetous, being grateful for what we have and letting go of what no longer serves and so on.
This text gives morning and evening assignments to reflect on where we stand with each of these principles and writing about how we can better implement them in our daily lives.
We can live productive, useful lives by focusing less on what others are doing or achieving or what might happen in the future or happened in the past and focusing on the present moment and being content with whatever our circumstance may be.
Small, incremental steps can lead to big things if steps are taken consistently.
