A life well lived

Embrace your soul’s inclination

'A life at the whim of the soul is a life well lived’. - Master Hoshino

If you’re lucky enough in life you’ll find something worth fighting for, something worth giving your all to, something you feel not only obliged but obsessed with seeing through.

The key is knowing how to find these things, or knowing when you have found them. The thing is, you just have to keep searching. Even when you think you’ve found it you have to keep searching. Who knows, you may have only uncovered the surface.

Either way, if you keep searching and searching, you’ll know when you’ve found it. You will either feel it with your body, or your soul will let you know one way or another.

You just have to trust your soul. You just have to embrace your soul’s inclination, and to pursue it no matter what.

That’s how you find it.
