Never accept an inferior position to anyone. It is the strongest spirit that wins, not the most expensive sword. Miyamoto Musashi

I have a reputation of not putting up with a lot of garbage from other people. When someone attacks me, I hit them back and hit them back hard. That is just the way I am, but there is also a valid philosophy behind my “take no sh*t” attitude.

I believe that when you allow other people to talk down to you or to treat you like garbage, without standing up to them, you ultimately injure your spirit. Each time you allow yourself to accept an inferior position to someone, you are telling your spirit that you are not worth fighting for and that you are somehow not as good as that person or inferior to that person. Therefore, I refuse to put up with other people’s bu****it.

I have had many people gripe at me that I should just ignore these people and move on. Well, that is one way to handle these kinds of people; but what does that actually get you? First, I believe that it hurts your spirit. Secondly, these people are bullies and ignoring a bully has never stopped any bully from continuing to bully other people. I have seen many times how bullies can destroy other people’s spirit and I absolutely refuse to allow a bully to slide by with no consequences. I simply won’t do that!

Bullies never change their ways and stop bullying other people simply because they are ignored; if anything, that gives the bully more confidence and adds fire to his misguided attitude. It take a strong attitude adjustment to change a bully’s behavior. Ignoring him doesn’t change his attitude; it reinforces it.

I have always stood up to bullies, even when I was younger and in school. My father instilled into me the fact that if I ever walked away from a fight because I was scared to stand up to a bully, that he would beat me much worse when I got home than any bully would have in a fight. And from that point on, I never allow a bully to walk away without an attitude adjustment.

Many times, I got my butt kicked because I would stand up to any bully, no matter how much bigger he was than me. But even when I got my butt kicked, I always got enough kicks and punches in to adjust the bully’s attitude, at least when it came to bullying me again. I never had the same bully try to bully me twice. Once you blacken a bully’s eye, bust his nose, or knock a couple of his teeth out, he normally has had enough of you, even if he ultimately won the fight! They may have won the fight, but I accomplished my objective of stopping them from harassing me again.

Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean that I am one of these misguided individuals who brags about never walking away from a fight. I will walk away from a fight anytime that I can. You always win every fight that you walk away from without any injuries. Walking away from a fight is not the same as allowing someone to bully you though. There is a fine line that separates the two.

It is good strategy to walk away from some drunk thug in a bar who is mouthy and wants to fight. On the other hand, it is taking an inferior position to allow some bully at the office to take your assigned parking space every day or to harass you every day at work. The first situation, you can walk away from with honor, knowing that you won without fighting. The second situation, you must either address or you sentence yourself to accepting an inferior position and telling your spirit that you are not worth fighting for. There is a big difference.

When you allow a bully to get away with bullying you by taking advantage of you, taking what is rightfully yours, constantly harassing you, etc., you damage your self-esteem, your self-confidence, and your spirit. And if you allow this over and over again, soon you will see the results from this bullying quietly permeate your life. Don’t ever accept an inferior position to anyone for any reason, unless it is done purposely as a part of your overall strategy.

You must protect your spirit just as much as you would protect your body. Many people try to sound wise by quoting clichés such as, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Sorry, but this is bu****it! Anyone who believes this garbage has never witnessed what the words of bullies do to school boys and girls, and how those words destroy their spirit and ultimately change them for life. Words are very powerful.

Miyamoto Musashi knew this and taught that you should never accept an inferior position to anyone. He knew the importance of the human spirit in everything you do and you should too. Don’t take a back seat to anyone, unless you decide to do so in order to purposely honor that person or as a part of your overall strategy!

You may think that doing so will not hurt you because you don’t notice an immediate difference. Well, you don’t notice an immediate difference when you eat junk food for a day either, but if you do it over and over, it has an effect on your body and sooner or later you will notice the results. It is the same way with allowing others to put you in an inferior position. You may not notice the long-term results immediately, but you will sooner or later.

Have the courage to stand up for what is right and to stand up for yourself. Never depend on anyone else to save you. You have to stand up for yourself! Each time you do, you strengthen your spirit and it becomes easier to stand up to the next bully which comes along. Warrior up!

The warrior who trusts his path, doesn't need to prove the other is wrong. Paula Coelho

I see so many personal attacks in the martial arts world, and in other communities, whether it is the workplace or sports leagues. When I see someone badmouthing others, it says to me that the person speaking has self-esteem issues, as well as severe character flaws.

Although I see this in every walk of life, I have noticed it much more than normal in the martial arts world. There are martial arts cliques who do little more than attack other martial artists constantly, calling them fakes, frauds, liars, etc. These people are not warriors and they are not true martial artists; they are simply wannabes who can't hack it, so they spend their time putting others down instead of training to improve themselves.

True warriors have no time for such malicious and underhanded actions. Those who truly walk the path of the warrior don't need to prove anyone else wrong or attack how others live their life their life. They also don't have to prove anything about their life to anyone. They are more concerned with constantly improving themselves and their skills, and have no time for minding everyone else's business, defaming others, or trying to disprove lies and gossip.

Warriors simply see those people as pathetic little wannabes who can't hack it in the real world, so they hide behind their computers or in their parent's basement and personally attack others from the safety of the dirty little hole they call home. These people are so far below the warrior that he won't be bothered to even give them the time of day.

True warriors know who they are and what they can do. They don't need to prove others are wrong about how they live or how they train. After all, how others live or train doesn't affect your life; it only affects their life. It is their business and they alone will suffer the consequences of their choices. It doesn't affect the warrior.

Likewise, the warrior has no interest in disproving the lies and gossip that these people spread about him. He knows what is true and what is not. The warrior also understands that fools will believe gossip and lies, but he is not concerned with fools; he surrounds himself with men and women of character, and focuses on his own path. He has no time for fools, idiots or the things that these buffoons do.

Trust your path and don't waste time focusing on what everyone else is doing or saying. There is more than enough to keep you occupied on this beautiful earth without you wasting time minding other people's business or trying to prove that fools are fools. Just keep focusing on improving yourself day by day. Trust your path and keep yourself true.
