Paradigms power perception and perceptions power emotions. Most emotions are responses to perception - what you think is true about a given situation. If your perception is false, then your emotional response to it will be false too. So check your perceptions, and beyond that check the truthfulness of your paradigms - what you believe. Just because you believe something firmly doesn't make it true. Be willing to reexamine what you believe.

William P. Young

Stephen Covey

Wendy Ewald

Bring the viewer to your side, include him in your thought. He is not a bystander. You have the power to increase his perceptions and conceptions.

Dorothea Lange

Deep listening helps us to recognize the existence of wrong perceptions in the other person and wrong perceptions in us.

Nhat Hanh

Performance or no performance, perceptions do matter. More so the voters's perceptions on the performance of their state governments.

N. Bhaskara Rao

Remember that our reactions are a product of our perceptions, and our perceptions are a result of what is at the center of our life.

Stephen Covey

Myth is the system of basic metaphors, images, and stories that informs the perceptions, memories, and aspirations of a people; provides the rationale for its institutions, rituals and power structure; and gives a map of the purpose and stages of life.

Sam Keen

We're using gradients of light as an auric measurement, a quantified auric measurement of the ascension of consciousness from the relatively sensorial, material perceptions of existence to the more refined spiritual perceptions of existence.

Frederick Lenz
