21st Century Ronin

The decisions I have made over the past year or so have de-railed my life. I, like so many of us have had choices to make and had chosen…. lets just say unwisely. From choices about my career to my family life, it all began to spiral. I didn’t like the person I was becoming and realised that something had to be done and fast.

I have always been an avid reader of any and all things to do with Feudal Japan and the Samurai. The Samurai live by a code called Bushido. It is a Code of Honour, Duty and Obligation (Giri) that the Samurai chose to live by. It was an out of the box way of looking at life and death. It teaches you to embrace death so you do not fear it. To take the advantage when possible. To embrace life without the labels we as a society place on everything. A way of mind / no mind that is calming and puts you in touch with who you really are.

Therefore the only alternative is to become Samurai. I will live and breathe Bushido. This Blog is basically the journey I am taking. if i share it with everyone, who knows it might inspire?

so what better way to get my life back on track?

Therefore I decided to use traditional methods to see how they hold up in the modern era. Are they still applicable in the 21st Century in of all places Sydney Australia? Lets find out.
