 To operate effectively in this trading environment, we have to set rules. We have to have safeguards and we have to set rules that we're actually going to follow. Because if we don't set these rules, if we don't follow these rules, you can really create enormous damage that we can do to ourselves, both mentally and financially. So to prevent this possibility of exposing ourselves to damage, we have to create an internal structure. We have to create a special mental discipline. We have to create a perspective about the markets that guide our behavior. And we have to set these up so they guide our behavior in a way that creates value in our own interest, for our best interest. Because think about this, this structure that we create, it has to exist inside of us. We have to create it in our mental environment because the market does not provide structure for us. The market has limitless opportunities. There's limitless ways to trade, so it does not provide any structure. We have to create that structure for ourselves. It's a boundaryless environment. When you're a trader, there's no one except yourself that's going to force you to decide in advance what your risk is. Copyright© OSHO International Foundation
