Okawa teaches that whenever we face a challenge, no matter how seemingly formidable, we are really being given an opportunity to make a choice- to lose faith, rant at the wind and waves, and sail adrift, or maintain our convictions, take the helm, and navigate a happy and abundant future for ourselves and the world. To successfully stay the course through life’s storms, however, we must know where we are headed. To hold fast, we must have a clear understanding of what our mission is and a strong mindset to steer us there. Finding our mission and developing the mindset muscle that will keep us on course takes awareness, intention, and effort. Okawa’s personal journey led him to discover and commit to a mission much larger than most- to bring greater happiness to mankind by uniting all religions and cultures to live in harmony- but his inspiring story shows us how we can find our own North Star and stay true to it, no matter the circumstances. That story is told in Twiceborn, a new biopic that tells the story of Satoru, a highly successful businessman who relinquishes everything to pursue his true calling. Interview op Yoichi Utebi, Producer and spokesperson for Twiceborn Reviving Your Spiritual Warrior to Guide You Through Turbulent Times A new film from Japan, “The Cherry Bushido,” lands at the perfect time to remind us to re-examine our convictions and spiritual fortitude in the face of today’s daunting challenges. Similar yet distinct from chivalry, the western code of honor handed down from the gallant knights of yore, Bushido is the organizing principle of samurai moral values and ethics that has been at the heart and soul of Japanese culture for centuries. Like chivalry, Bushido is typified by virtues like righteousness, benevolence, respect, honor, fidelity, and courage. Unlike the chivalric code, the true Bushido spirit is based on the belief that we are spiritual beings who will eventually return to the spiritual world. Having experienced relative peace and prosperity in recent years, many have relaxed their self-vigilance and blurred the convictions that can mean the difference between victory and defeat on the spiritual as well as physical plain. With the pandemic and the social, political, and geopolitical turbulence we are experiencing today, now is a good time to consider the Bushido spirit and virtues that can anchor and guide us to act on our beliefs in these trying times.
