Image
Do not mistake desire for love. Desire leaves home in a frantic search for one gratification after another. Love is at home with itself.
Vernon Howard
Image
It is utterly useless to try to change the outer world, for it is but a reflection of inner causes. The true seeker seeks to change himself.
Vernon Howard
Image
Society is like a crowd in carnival costumes with everyone fearful that others will see through his disguise.
Vernon Howard
Image
Run forward when possible, walk ahead when you can, stagger onward when you must, but never cease your forward movement.
Vernon Howard
Image
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

Vernon Howard
Image
As incredible as it sounds, an unhappy man does not realize that happiness is better than unhappiness. Knowing only his own concealed anguish, he worships it, which is the same as self-worship.
Vernon Howard
Image
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
Image
Persistence prevails, like a stream that is temporarily blocked by boulders and then collects force enough to overflow onward.
Vernon Howard
Image
Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.
Vernon Howard
Image
You can end half your troubles immediately by no longer permitting people to tell you what you want.
Vernon Howard
Image
Don't try to live. Let yourself be lived.
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
Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table it is the water poured into all of them.
Vernon Howard
Image
Don't try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being.
