Miyamoto Musashi
"There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself."
Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's most celebrated and enigmatic swordsman, navigated a life marked by duels, wisdom, and solitary contemplation. A warrior-philosopher, he turned his sword into an extension of his soul, crafting not only a legacy of unbeaten duels but also penning the profound "Book of Five Rings," a guide to mastery that transcends the battlefield.
