PETTY TYRANTS AND THE POWER OF PERCEPTION

"Petty tyrants take themselves with deadly seriousness while warriors do not. What usually exhausts us is the wear and tear on our self-importance. Any man who has an iota of pride is ripped apart by being made to feel worthless."  -don Juan

"Nothing can temper the spirit of a warrior as much as the challenge of dealing with impossible people in positions of power. Only under those conditions can warriors acquire the sobriety and serenity to stand the pressure of the unknowable."  -don Juan

...or as my new favorite church sign said, "A diamond is a piece of coal that stuck to its work."

"Altering your perception is the only act necessary to bring heaven down to earth."  -me
