Respect the Gods

The Path to Full Color

Musashi was a great warrior poet who was famous throughout his time for being the best samurai warrior around. He was a killer with words and with swords. He was a wanderer, a ronin. A samurai without a master. Musashi wrote Dokkodo: the way of walking alone. We study it hundreds of years later because the words are so powerful, true and bare. Nothing but what is useful. All killer, no filler.

Musashi wrote the way of walking alone and he walked alone, unconcerned about money and then he died alone in the mountains. Like a true soldier of the mission he did now allow himself to be ambushed by the tiger. He was a great man and he will be remembered as the 2nd most copied author in history, an unbelievable accomplishment. But he hated money and he died in desperate need of it.

A great warrior and a great poet should not be so blind to the realities of the world. The cold-hard reality of the world is this: you need to be a warrior-poet who turns it into his business. Money is the 4th element. You need oxygen, water, food, and money. Like Mamet said, "Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money."

Everyone wants the good life, either in this life or the next. The open mind can understand that you can be both successful and true. The unopened mind can only think that success is the result of doing evil and that poverty is noble and that in poverty they’ll be rewarded in the next life.

The open mind knows you can be successful on your terms. In fact, that’s the only way success happens - on your terms. You’ll have to be like Frank Sinatra and do it your way, or it won’t ever happen. You have to let go of immediate reactions, only time will prove you true.

The old world ronin were slaves without masters. A slave without a master is a curse, it is not a blessing. When you do not have a master - which is another word for mission - you are lost and aimless; like a ghost. Everybody needs missions and everybody needs masters, even masters.

Old world ronin had skill and they had knowledge, but they had no place to put it. They had fire in their hearts but they did not have a way to let the fire out. They were not whole, they were living life only in B&W. They were missing the 3rd ingredient that allows one to live life in full color.

The New World Ronin are not cursed because we have been blessed by the gods. We have the missing 3rd ingredient that the old world ronin did not have. We have the most precious gift that has ever been given to mankind - the internet.

The old world ronin were slaves without masters because they did not have the internet. They could build their brain and their body but they had no way to build their brand.
