Day 1&2 Eat the 🐸: ❌ Essentials: ✔️ Search the 🐸:✔️ Meditation:❌

Hey everyone! 👋 This is a community for people who love Dark Souls and Self Improvement! Here we can share ideas, talk about life lessons from games, and help each other grow. The idea is leveling up both in-game and in real life. Here’s what you can do to get started: 1. Introduce yourself → say your name (or online name) and your favorite Souls moment. 2. Share an idea → There is no limitation to what you can post. I'm super interested myself to hear more different philosophies that come from the games! → What’s one topic, struggle, or question you’d love to see me talk about in a future video? 3. Check in anytime → this is a place to talk openly about growth, mindset, and of course Souls. Be safe, friend. Don't you dare go Hollow. ⚔️🔥

I'm trying to make a new video about discipline so I need a little advice.

In the book Sun and Steel by Yukio Mishima, he critiques the over-intellectualization of life. He says there’s a difference between thinking about life and living it through the body — through sweat, pain, action, and sunlight. His ultimate philosophy is that truth isn't just found in words or ideas — it's found in the body, in movement, in risk, in action. "Words are not the truth. The body is." Words are fickle and they don’t always hold true, but what makes the body feel good and alive is undeniable and constant. Those who only think and never act become hollow. They may dream of battle, but unless they feel the blade, their thoughts are meaningless. Siegmeyer is like those people who read all the books about how to start a business, but never actually start a business. It’s kinda like how the teachers of business programs in university in college teach you about starting a business, but have never started a business themselves. Like are you kidding me? There are more characters in these games too which show the same issue: The Crestfallen Warrior in every dark souls game sits at Firelink shrine or the safe area of the game, full of doubt and philosophy, but never stands up to go do something. In every game there’s a guy that does this. DS1 it’s the crestfallen warrior, in DS2 it’s the crestfallen warrior in Majula, in DS3 it’s Hawkwood the Deserter. They sit and they ponder and they moan and they groan but they don’t do anything to change their situation. The only one who was different was Hawkwood, who got almost jealous of seeing you do what he should have done, and so came to fight you. He was so displeased with himself and he found someone to blame. US. But You, the Player, are the only one who walks forward. Dies, learns, repeats. The one who feels the steel and walks under the sun. You don't get better by thinking about how to fight — you get better by dying and trying again. Check out the new video coming soon!
