| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 3,200 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to |
| 0:11.2 | day two of this week's series. welcome you to |
| 0:15.0 | adopting the mindset of a summary and I'm following along with the |
| 0:17.1 | mindset of a samurai and I'm following along with the book called Samurai Wisdom by Thomas Cleary and this book guide |
| 0:30.9 | you into the timeless wisdom of the samurai warrior class. |
| 0:38.1 | So this week you're guided exploring concepts such as discipline, honor, courage, and the importance of living with |
| 0:48.3 | integrity. |
| 0:50.5 | And I know many of you feel this is missing in our modern day life. |

| 2:22.2 | samurai and to give your life in battle was and is still |
| 2:28.5 | considered the ultimate sacrifice. So your challenge for today, I hope you're following along with the |
| 2:37.8 | week's challenge, is to create your own Bushido. This is the code of conduct. What's important to you? What are your |
| 2:48.6 | values? And yesterday's meditation? You can go back and listen to that. You were guided to think about your |
| 2:56.0 | three primary values. What are things that you would give you're all for and think about how you could use your focus as you |
| 3:09.7 | discipline yourself especially as you start your day and as you end your day to make sure |
