Stuck In A Rut? - Adopt The Samurai Creed!

Are you sick of feeling stuck in a rut?

Are you ready to break free from the chains that bind you?

Perhaps you should adopt the Samurai creed as your own.

The Samurai were feared, fierce warriors in ancient feudal Japan.

They lived by a very strict code.

They were both feared and respected wherever they went.

They had a very simple, yet powerful creed.

"No hesitation, no doubt, no surprise, no fear."

This creed is brilliant in its simplicity.

It is the perfect strategy for getting things done.

If you are sick and tired of feeling stuck in a rut, then maybe you should give some consideration to adopting the Samurai creed for yourself.

Lets break the strategy down into its four separate elements.

No Hesitation

This is basically saying that once you have decided upon your course of action do not second guess yourself, do not hesitate but take instant and deliberate action towards the completion of the task at hand.

You do not want to look back at all those missed opportunities because you hesitated and didn't strike while the iron was hot.

Instead of waiting till the iron is hot, why don't you strike and make the iron hot?

There is no time like the present when it comes to taking action.

No Doubt

Doubting yourself will only have a negative effect on your desired outcome.

Do not let the seeds of doubt take root in the fertile soil of your mind.

I think Henry Ford said it best when he said, "whether you think you can or whether you think you cant, you're right."

You must have 100% faith and belief in yourself when you take action.

You must remove all elements of fear from your mind, you must see yourself victorious in whatever endeavour that you are about to participate in.

No Surprise

This basically states that you should know as much as possible about what you are focusing on.

You don't want any nasty little surprises, so its always best to do your due diligence before, rather than after.

Do not rush into a situation without knowing as much as you possibly can about it.

No Fear

This states that it is best to have no fear.

You have nothing to fear but fear itself.

When you are afraid you are wasting the power of all the other elements in this powerful strategy.

Can you imagine what you could accomplish if you adopted the Samurai creed?
