The Tao of Wu by The Rza
I love stories about people who take themselves from very bad situations and rise like a pheonix. Or stories where you’re born in the projects of Brooklyn, grow up in the projects of Staten Island, and despite many obstacles become a successful business man, rapper, producer, and music composer (just to name a few) like the Rza. He used every phase of his life as a lesson and acted accordingly. He studied under a Shaolin Monk which brings us to this book where The Rza shares his code in his seven pillars of wisdom.
I am obsessed with this magical quality that humans possess deep inside where some can turn things around for themselves. It’s something only a certain type of person taps into. When I read books like this one I wonder, what is the difference between these “certain” types and the ones who cannot go inside to dig deep and find it within themselves to live? Really live? To find a path to happiness and self love?
I read story after story about men and women who have cured and healed themselves hoping to find the answer to my questions.
I want to live many different chapters of my life while I’m on this planet. I cannot wait for the time when we look back and all of this medical stuff seems so far away that I can’t remember feeling sick or what it’s like to be scared of your body. I know it will happen, I just get impatient sometimes.
