More quotes by Vernon Howard
We must become acquainted with our emotional household: we must see our feelings as they actually are, not as we assume they are. This breaks their hypnotic and damaging hold on us.
Vernon Howard
A false path must be tensely and angrily defended by those it has deceived.
Vernon Howard
When told that man lives in delusion everyone thinks of himself as the exception hence his delusion.
Vernon Howard
No one on earth can hurt you, unless you accept the hurt in your own mind. . . The problem is not other people it is your reaction.
Vernon Howard
We can accept God becoming Man to save Man, but not Man becoming God to save himself.
Vernon Howard
Procrastination is illogical from every viewpoint. It is like the man who wanted to cross the stream, so he sat on the bank to wait for all the water to run by.
Vernon Howard
Who asks a king for a penny?
Vernon Howard
We find the light only after total defeat of our attempts to deceive and outwit it.
Vernon Howard
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
Worried thought prevents practical thought which could prevent worried thought.
Vernon Howard
We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception.
Vernon Howard
Bitterness is the outcome of a wrong mental movement - the attempt to force external events to conform to internal fantasy. The cure is to see fantasy as fantasy, which will reveal it as neither necessary nor rewarding.
Vernon Howard
Every day that you attempt to see things as they are in truth Is a supremely successful day.
Vernon Howard
You have it made when you don't care whether you have it made or not.
Vernon Howard
It is a mistake for anyone to think he has lived too long in his old, unsatisfactory ways to make the great change. If you switch on the light in a dark room, it makes no difference how long it was dark because the light will still shine. Be teachable. That is the whole secret.
Vernon Howard
It is a thousand times more sensible to climb one foot up the mountainside than to chatter for years about the mountaintop.
Vernon Howard
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
A desperation to escape a problem is the wrong way. A passion to understand it is the right way
Vernon Howard
Ignorant people remain ignorant because they have a secret agreement to call one another intelligent.
Vernon Howard
The power of the present moment is so immense it is capable - when lived in fully - of destroying forever every past mistake and regret.
Vernon Howard
