Does music fill your heart? Do you and your soul float through each day, carried on the music of the spheres1? Is that even a realistic condition to contemplate, and if so, how would you ever get anything done with that kind of distraction? Is it really a distraction? Can you conceive of operating at a higher level, wherein you could be carried through the day with music in your heart? The true warrior operates at this level; he or she is not distracted by the mundane events of the day but operates at a level of serenity and tranquillity that facilitates a heightened awareness of signals and helps to filter out the ever-present noise. The true warrior practices calming and emptying the mind, and seeking tranquillity of thought through meditative processes. Take the time to still your mind in those moments of the day wherein you have a respite or a reprieve from the noise.

You can strengthen your mind with meditation and simple mental exercises. Like anything else about your body, the mind responds to exercise. So exercise it. You are warriors, and with strong and effective minds, you can be of maximum benefit to yourself and your team. This will facilitate the opportunity to achieve maximum profit. So it has been written.
