If you know them, they'll surely become a guide for living! Important words to engrave in your heart (71–80)
Grasp one principle, and you understand all things.Miyamoto Musashi
Ukosaben is pronounced “uko-saben.” It means wavering as you look to the right and to the left, unable to decide.
While one might think that taking the long way around leads to many encounters, Musashi teaches with this phrase that if you want broad knowledge, you should master one thing.
Whether it’s training to build your ideal physique or learning a foreign language to master linguistics—anything is fine.
If you truly master that one thing, you’ll find many more open paths waiting beyond it!
Train for a thousand days to forge yourself; train for ten thousand days to refine yourself.Miyamoto Musashi
Have you ever been on a diet? You start out thinking, “I’m going to lose weight!” but the reality is, it’s hard to keep it up, isn’t it? Not just dieting—studying, strength training, journaling—why is it so hard to continue? It’s almost baffling.
When I came across this quote by Miyamoto Musashi, I felt the weight of the word ‘discipline,’ and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
For Musashi, continuing something—discipline—is not mere practice; it’s already in the realm of rigorous training.
You set an ideal you can never fully attain, and you discipline yourself to get closer to it.
These are words that will resonate especially with those who are single-mindedly doing their best.
My inner self commands me to keep going like this.Vincent van Gogh
Speaking of Van Gogh, he’s known for not being highly regarded during his lifetime and for selling very few of his paintings.
He gained recognition only after his death, and many of his famous works—such as Sunflowers and The Starry Night—were painted in his later years.
One memorable quote he left is, “Go on as you are; the ‘me’ within me commands it.” Isn’t that a statement very much in keeping with Van Gogh, who lived his entire life as a painter regardless of how little recognition he received? Being true to oneself isn’t easy, but if you can stay steadfast like Van Gogh, you might just leave your name behind as one of the geniuses.
Even if my life is a losing battle, I want to fight until the very end.Vincent van Gogh
That’s a very powerful quote.
There probably aren’t many people who choose to fight a losing battle when they know they’ll lose.
No one likes losing, and working hard only to lose is painful.
But it seems Van Gogh wanted to live his life to the very end, even knowing it was a losing battle.
How about you? You never really know if it’s a losing battle until the very end.
Van Gogh wasn’t appreciated during his lifetime, but he became very famous after his death.
Perhaps that’s because he kept believing in himself and lived true to that belief until the end.
If you ever hear a voice within you say, ‘You can’t paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.Vincent van Gogh
This is a quote that gives us courage when starting something new.
Everyone begins from a place of not being able to do it.
But if you avoid doing it just because you can’t, you’ll never be able to do it for the rest of your life.
If you want to take that path and master it, you have to start by trying.
By continuing, you’ll build confidence, and before you know it, that voice saying “I can’t” will fall silent.
Don’t lose to your own weakness—go challenge your dreams and goals.
To know life, love many things.Vincent van Gogh
Love comes in many forms.
Saying “I love you” in words, watching over someone in silence, wanting to understand something deeply.
I think the ways we love and the objects of our love differ from person to person.
Yet that feeling is something we are naturally born with as human beings.
So when you want to understand life, why not start by directing your interest and attention to the things around you and trying to love them? As in the words attributed to Van Gogh, by doing so, you may naturally come to see what life is all about.
Humans should stand firm and endure the fate reality gives them. All truth lies hidden there.Vincent van Gogh
Reality can be harsh and cruel at times, can’t it? There are many things we’d rather look away from.
But no one can escape their destiny.
No matter how painful it is, we can only live the life before us.
As Van Gogh said, we may have no choice but to endure the fate of reality.
Yet how you transform that fate is up to you.
By facing everything with sincerity, you might come to see the meaning behind the fate you’ve been given.
