““Marcus Aurelius wrote in his wonderful book, Meditations, “The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.” If you allow your emotions to control your thoughts, then there will be times when you are allowing anger, fear, passion, and frustrations to affect your actions. This can get you into some major trouble. The warrior must not allow himself to be controlled by emotions such as these. He has to make sure that his actions are guided by rational thought – not emotions.””
