Answer Upon - A Path to Self Improvement - The Samurai Method
Everyone wants to be on the inside... at least if you are on the outside looking in. I’m old enough to remember walking with my parents or grandparents through the downtown streets of Springfield, IL at Christmas time, and looking in the display windows of all the Christmas decorations, toys, and electric trains. I was on the outside, and I wanted inside where the good stuff was.Well, I don’t know if you are on the outside of the MLM Leads industry wanting to get in, but I want to take you on a tour - to get the inside s

The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188 stage template.Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.There is only one story.The Hero's Journey:a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.Do you lack self discipline? Many of us do. Gaining self discipline is a matter of working at it it. Their are several paths to reach it, I think. One method is practicing constant self improvement. Check out my story; I have always been fascinated by the martial arts. Martial arts are the physical self defense disciplines that were developed in the Far East. The arts include but are not limited to Kung Fu, Karate, Judo, Aikido, Kempo, Ninjitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Jujitsu and many others. These were made popular here most famously by Bruce Lee. I believe that my addiction to these arts and their movies was fed by the Saturday afternoon matinees that the television stations used to show. As a young prepubescent boy watching Shao Lin monks leaping through the air as if they were flying, shattering stones with their bare hands and the speed finesse and skill level that they displayed was mind blowing to me. That was first hooked me to their culture as I took up the arts myself I immersed myself in books and magazines about asian culture. While I am not the first in sharing the riches and wisdom the Buddha, Sun Tzu and Confucius. I believe that I am the first to share the wisdom of the Samurai on Ezines.
In case you didn't know the Samurai were warrior caste in feudal Japan. The ideal samurai were expected to lead austere, disciplined lives, dedicated to their lords and the perfection of the martial arts and their character. They were expected to be capable of bringing the same finesse to the tea ceremony, calligraphy, and poetry as they would to the removal of an enemy's head in battle. They gave complete loyalty to their daimyo (feudal landlord) in his private army, and received land, position, status, and money in return. Please read the following and try to absorb the principles of constant self improvement that the samurai practiced. While it won't help you in your sword play the wisdom listed below can help into shaping you into a better person. Mind you that this list has been adapted from ancient Samurai precepts and thus they have been adapted to make sense in todays world.

Business planning emphasizes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. A Vision and/or Mission are standard fare. However, the most meticulous strategy plan can still derail without the guidance of core values. They are the standards for behavior that define your culture. Defining core values is a critical step.

Personally, I try to make an effort to live up to these ideals. They teach the importance of self reliance and responsibility for ones actions. If you can't blame anyone else for your misfortunes you are that more focused on your goals. This is a constant effort, we are human, there is always room for improvement.
