Miyamoto Musashi 21 Lessons (My Interpretation)

Accept everything just the way it is.

The nature of the world is too strong to try and change it on your own. You are better off accepting the way in which this world works. The way people are, how unfair things may seem and the list goes on.

The world is as it is, not as we may want it to be. Understand that the will of this world will not bend to you. You must mold yourself to how the world works.

Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.

Pleasure is a fleeting feeling if it is sought out simply for the short term you fall down into a spiral.

Addiction is a real illness that is started by the seeking of short term pleasure. Pleasure should come from your actions in what you do in this world. Pleasure should come from a virtuous place.

Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.

Before you make any decision in this life based on a hunch. You are better of waiting until you are sure of your movement.

Half-hearted decisions are only met with half-hearted results as you are not going to be 100% sure whether it was the right decision or not.
