🪓🌿 Why work gets hard...
🪓🌿... when you don’t sharpen your tools
Ever feel like you’re pushing hard… 😮💨
yet everything stays heavy and resistant? 🧱
Often it’s not you.
It’s the tool. 🧠⚙️
A dull axe won’t cut a tree.
And a tired nervous system won’t create clear decisions.
More force just creates more friction. 🔥
This is where Lao Tse and Miyamoto Musashi meet in a very modern way. 🌊🗡️
Lao Tse points to skill + timing:
Good action is not hustle. It’s ability and the right time.
And: trying to keep something always “sharp” can’t be sustained forever.
Musashi is direct:
Everything depends on timing and rhythm… and you learn it only through long practice.
Tools should do their job (cut well), not just look fancy.
BlissBrain translation:
Your tool is you: attention, energy, focus, emotional regulation, decision power. 🧠✨
Mini challenge (10 minutes) 🧪
Before a hard task:
2 min breathe + relax
3 min clarity (3 lines)
5 min focus (one thing)
Question:
Where are you swinging too often… and sharpening too rarely? 🪓
