“If you spend your time chasing butterflies, they'll fly away, If you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you. And if they don't come, you still have your garden.”

Miyamoto Musashi was a legendary samurai who lived centuries ago but still gives us knowledge that can be used today. Miyamoto Musashi is believed to have fought in over 60 duels between the ages of 12 and 27, He was never defeated in any of these duels, although this is a conservative estimate and does not account for deaths by his hand, Musashi won this all duels because of his unwavering focus on the art of swords, he doesn’t chase women or lust, instead, he focuses on getting better every single time.

Love isn’t actually a bad thing but letting it control your life is. Never let yourself be a prisoner of love but instead use it as a guide, as a weapon that can improve your life.
