Mushin: having a mirror mind

[lmfao]

I really liked this.

"If you prepare for an attack from a specific direction, and it comes from some other direction, you have to withdraw from the direction in which you expected it and send your energy in another direction and that takes time. So what you do is go around with a mind of no expectation" Very applicable for life in general. 

A mirror reflects light instantly, it doesn't pause or delay. If you clap your hands, the sound comes out immediately. In such a way, it's possible for you to act without hesitation. "If you sit, just sit. If you walk, just walk; but whatever you do, don’t wobble."

Since we aren't used to acting spontaneously, we do so unintelligently when we first try to do so.
