Your first victory must be over yourself. The conquest of oneself is the only true conquest.

You wish to win your battles.

If you really want to win,
your first victory must be over yourself.
The conquest of oneself is the only true conquest.

Can you calm down when you are agitated?

Can you slow your breath when
you are excited and are breathing fast?
Can you silence your chattering mind for a moment

so that you can listen to
the intuitive messages
that are waiting to break
through the curtain of mental noise?

If you can answer, "Yes" to these questions,
you have already won your battles.
