Living with inner peace and not being affected by drama or negativity around you is easier than you think!

I have always been influenced by the Japanese way of doing and understanding things. Their way of doing things is adapting something to your lifestyle, rather than going out of the way to do it. They won’t ever complain about the non-availability of resources or required infrastructure. But make the best out of things in hand!

I read many Books by Japanese Authors to learn more about the culture. And have developed a love for the country and its culture. It gives me a window to sneak into the lifestyle of Japanese people and how they lead their lives. Their Fiction is more realistic than, the many Philosophy books I have read!

One such Japanese Writer is Miyamoto Musashi, also known by the name, Miyamoto Bennosuke, was a legendary Japanese Swordsman, strategist, artist and writer. He was famous for his unique two-sword fighting style and his undefeated record in 62 duels.

While he was a skilled Martial artist, he was also a philosopher and a Buddhist monk. Two years before his death (1645), he wrote a book — Dokkodo- The Path of Aloness. The book captures his knowledge, philosophy and wisdom.
