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
Image
A false path must be tensely and angrily defended by those it has deceived.

Vernon Howard
Image
No one can tell you what is right for you except yourself. So start telling yourself what to do. If you blunder for ten years while thinking for yourself, that is rich treasure when compared with living these ten years under the mental domination of another.
Vernon Howard
Image
The need to impress others causes half the world's woes.
Vernon Howard
Image
We are exactly where we have chosen to be.
Vernon Howard
Image

Vernon Howard
Image
Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through... whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it.
Vernon Howard
Image
The terrible immoralities are the cunning ones hiding behind masks of morality, such as exploiting people while pretending to help them.
Vernon Howard
Image
Happiness is liberty from everything that makes us unhappy.
