It's not that I don't get along with others. I do. I just can't stand liars, thieves, backstabbers, bastards, fakers, cheaters, and users/ manipulators. That's all. The world has always had an abundance of those kinds of people. They don't care about anyone or anything other than themselves. Their only focus is on what they want and they are willing to step on or use anyone to achieve their objectives. I prefer not to have anything to do with those people, but I am fully prepared to deal with them if I have to. There will always be scumbags in this world, and they will continue to mistreat good people, if allowed to. It is just a fact of life that you will have to learn how to deal with people void of honor and integrity. That said, don't let those kinds of people disrupt your inner peace. Distance yourself from them or respond to them as needed, and then move on. You don't have to allow people like that to get inside your mind or disrupt your inner peace. Learn to respond instead of react!

Continue to Improve Yourself Every Day – Bohdi Sanders

Only those who continually re-examine themselves and correct their faults will grow. The Hagakure Even the samurai, who dedicated their lives to their code of honor and their way of life, had to constantly re-examine their life in order to make sure that they were staying true to the man that they were dedicated to being. Being a superior man is not a goal that you reach and then you can sit…

Are you a Warrior or a Sheep? Bohdi Sanders

Are you a Warrior or a Sheep? Bohdi Sanders

You are only rebellious in the eyes of those who cannot control or manipulate you. Those who cannot control you or manipulate you will try to bring you down by attacking your character. They will call you a rebel, a liar, a fraud, a traitor, an insurrectionist, an anarchist, or some other derogatory term in order to bring you down. It has nothing to do with you or who you are; it is all about…

Fear is a Reaction – Courage is a Decision!

Fear is a Reaction – Courage is a Decision!

Fear is a reaction to a person, place or situation. Besides the fear of falling from high places, all other fears have been learned or conditioned in us over the years. No one is born being afraid to be beat up, afraid of offending the boss, afraid of what the government may do, or afraid of snakes. Those are all learned from one experience or another. We have spent so much of our life worrying…

Not Everyone's Opinion Matters - Bohdi Sanders

Not Everyone’s Opinion Matters – Bohdi Sanders

It is not the opinion of the common man that matters, but the opinion of men for whom you admire and truly respect. You will not have true respect for everyone you come in contact with in your life, but that doesn’t absolve you from your duty to treat everyone in a respectful manner. You don’t have to truly respect everyone, but you do owe everyone a measure of respect, which is simply being…

Tomorrow’s battle is won during today’s practice. Samurai MaximIf you wait until you have an emergency to prepare, then you will never be prepared.

This is true in every area of life.If you wait until the hurricane…

Develop Benevolence in your life - Bohdi Sanders

Develop Benevolence in your life – Bohdi Sanders

Benevolence is not simply putting your life on the line to help others; it is an internal attitude towards other people. Bohdi SandersTrue warriors feel a duty to keep those around them safe and protected. They feel empathy for those weaker than themselves and feel a strong urge to help them as much as they can. This is part of the code that they live by, and it is part of living the warrior…

Right Actions - Bohdi Sanders

Right Actions – Bohdi Sanders

It is your commitment to justice that makes your actions righteous, not the outcome of your actions. Bohdi Sanders You do not have complete control over the end results of your actions, and consequently, it is not the outcome which should ultimately concern you – it is doing what is right that is your main responsibility as a warrior. Of course you want to try your best to achieve a satisfactory…

Always Do What’s Right – Bohdi Sanders

What is right is the ultimate law and trumps the law of the land. Bohdi Sanders Nobody is going to force you to live your life by a code of honor; it is solely up to you. This is part of your duty as a true warrior. You have to base your actions on a strong sense of right and wrong. That is what honor is all about. It is not about a list of rules that you rigidly adhere to no matter what the…

Never Fight unless You have no Choice – Bohdi Sanders

There is much to be considered before the sword is drawn. Baltasar Gracian Fighting is serious business. Even when you win a physical conflict, there is a very real chance that you will not walk away from it unscarred. I have won many fights, but have ended up with the short end of the stick in the long run in a couple of them. Breaking a bone in your hand can take well over a year to heal.…

Forgive but do not Forget

Forgive but do not Forget

Once you do me dirty, I may forgive you, but I will never treat you the same. You’ll never get the old me again. There are many different kinds of people in this world, some very good, some very bad, and everything in between. The majority of people are not completely trustworthy, so you have to be smart and continually watch your back. Many people are willing to stab you in the back if they…

Walk Your Talk - Bohdi Sanders

Walk Your Talk – Bohdi Sanders

Actions originate from your thoughts, so learning to control your thoughts and thinking rationally, instead of emotionally, is the foundation of right actions.      Others can see what you truly believe by how you act. Jesus taught, “You will know them by their fruits.” John Locke echoed this thought saying, “The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.” It is easy for someone…

Follow the Truth - Bohdi Sanders

Follow the Truth – Bohdi Sanders

In today’s world it seems that everyone has their own point of view concerning pretty much everything. It doesn’t seem to matter whether or not a person is informed on the topic in question or whether he actually knows anything at all about what he is referring to in the conversation; people still feel the need to express their point of view. The majority of the time, people are merely repeating…

Loyalty is Stronger than Blood - Bohdi Sanders

Loyalty is Stronger than Blood – Bohdi Sanders

I like people who don’t worship the rules, whose integrity is greater than any law or rule book, and whose loyalty is stronger than blood! I don’t live my life by everyone else’s rules. So many people seem to think that “the rules” or the laws are somehow sacred and must be obeyed completely, no matter what. It is as if God came down and wrote all those rules and laws on a stone tablet and…

Don't Allow Your Emotions to Control you - Bohdi Sanders

Don’t Allow Your Emotions to Control you – Bohdi Sanders

If you allow your emotions to control your thoughts, then there will be times when you are allowing anger, fear, passion, and frustrations to affect your actions. This can get you into some major trouble. The warrior must not allow himself to be controlled by emotions such as these. He has to make sure that his actions are guided by rational thought – not emotions. Takuan Soho, the 17th century…
