The Samurai Challenges
 


This was a team activity that required every member of the team to participate to the best of their ability in order for the team to be successful. There were also some very clear consequences. If they did well, they survived. If they did not perform well, they were eliminated by a member of another team.

The teams began by ranking their members as well as top players from other teams in order of their physical, creative, intellectual, and emotional abilities. The teams then faced a series of challenges from each of those categories. They also had to oblige by the Code of the Samurai remembering to be ready at once, as hesitation kills; to accept all challenges, as fear kills; to die with honor, as regret kills; and that they have no enemies as self-deception kills.

The objective of the game was to show that the Code of the Samurai is very effective at the art of living.

  • When we hesitate in our life, opportunities pass us by. Not knowing and losing out on things brings out a stress or tension which is toxicity. Living in the realm of unknowing kills.

  • Regret kills. One of the biggest regrets in people's lives is that they killed off a relationship that was important to them.

  • Don't make enemies when there are no enemies. If you take the time to connect with other people and communicate, you will realize you are actually deceiving yourself and everything is actually fine.
