Image
A false path must be tensely and angrily defended by those it has deceived.
Vernon Howard
Image
An obvious fact about negative feelings is often overlooked. They are caused by us, not by exterior happenings. An outside event presents the challenge, but we react to it. So we must attend to the way we take things, not to the things themselves.
Vernon Howard
Image
You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey... Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and venture toward Trueness at last.
Vernon Howard
Image
Men have the illusion of having a duty to make the world spin properly, which is precisely what makes it wobble.
Vernon Howard
Image
You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
Vernon Howard
Image
We are exactly where we have chosen to be.
Vernon Howard
Image
All heartache is caused by wrong viewpoints.

Image
The outer storm ceases the moment the inner storm ends, for they are the same storm.
Vernon Howard
Image
We can no more enjoy life by hoping for a future result than we can enjoy music by waiting for the final note.
Vernon Howard
Image
Is the beam from a lighthouse affected by howling wind and rain? It remains perfectly steadfast and unaffected by the storm. Your true self is like that. Nothing can ever harm you once you are consciously aware that it is so.
Vernon Howard
Image
Worried thought prevents practical thought which could prevent worried thought.
Vernon Howard
Image
The most marvelous experience of life is to transform life according to reality, not imagination.
Vernon Howard
Image
If you call one thing good, you must call its opposite bad. If you think it wonderful to make a big profit in your business, you will also think it terrible if you incur a large loss. The idea is to live above the opposites.
Vernon Howard
Image
The genuinely spiritual person is one who has lost all desire to be anyone but exactly who he is, without labels and without apologies. He is what he is and that's all there's is to it. Such a man is undivided, uncomplicated and contented.
Vernon Howard
Image
When the mind is exhausted in trying to find the answer, the answer dawns.
Vernon Howard
Image
There exists a special self which takes every event as if it were the very thing you wanted to happen. That self is the Supermind, which is never upset by anything. Your goal is to nourish it into greater strength. Then, every step is sunlit.
Vernon Howard
Image
Anger or bitterness toward those who have hurt you will block your path to higher ground. You can have anger toward people or you can have freedom from people, but you can't have both.
Vernon Howard
Image
You must never fear anything at all.
Vernon Howard
Image
What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.
Vernon Howard
Image
We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. When our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. You are then at peace whatever happens.
