Resistance to the disturbance is the disturbance.
Vernon Howard
Image
The reason why most people are frustrated is because a lie cannot be turned into a truth.
Vernon Howard
Image
Insight into the two selves within a man clears up many confusions and contradictions. It was our understanding that preceded our victory.
Vernon Howard
Image
Genuine kindness is not what we do, it is what we are.
Vernon Howard
Image
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.

Truth is not a matter of personal viewpoint.
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

Worried thought prevents practical thought which could prevent worried thought.

Image
Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing must follow self-honesty.
Vernon Howard
Image
It is against the law to permit weak people to steal your strength. Never permit it.
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
Learn this great secret of life: What people call interruption or disturbance to their routine is just as much a part of living as the routine. To split life into two parts, one called routine and the other called interruption, is to be caught between them.
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
The miracle of self-healing occurs when the inner patient yields to the inner physician.
Vernon Howard
Image
Awareness of your weakness and confusion makes you strong because conscious awareness is the bright light that destroys the darkness of negativity. Detection of inner negativity is not a negative act, but a courageously positive act that makes you a new person.
Vernon Howard
Image
The outer storm ceases the moment the inner storm ends, for they are the same storm.
Vernon Howard
Image
Find yourself for courage and confidence are as easy as breathing to the person who really knows who he is.
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.

Don't look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature.
