“The spirit of a warrior is not geared to indulging and complaining, nor is it geared to winning or losing. The spirit of a warrior is geared only to struggle, and every struggle is a warrior's last battle on earth. Thus the outcome matters very little to him.

And as he wages his battle, knowing that his intent is impeccable, a warrior laughs and laughs.” LittlesMatterActionEarthLastsSpiritualSpiritWinningLaughingStruggleKnowingClearBattleLosingFlowComplainingWarriorOutcomesWagesWin Or LoseDon JuanImpeccableSpiritual WarriorWarrior Spirit Book:Separate Reality Source: Separate Reality
