Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing must follow self-honesty.

Vernon Howard

Whenever encountering a troublesome person, do not identify him as being cruel or stupid or rude or anything else like that. Instead, see him as a frightened person.
VERNON HOWARD

Frightened Rude Stupid
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

Assuming Emotional Feelings
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

Loss Opposites Thinking
Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.
VERNON HOWARD

Begins Conscious Freedom
A perfect method for awakening is to examine the results of our daily actions. If they are harmful, we know we need more consciousness.
VERNON HOWARD

Awakening Needs Perfect
A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.
VERNON HOWARD

Inspirational Strength Strong
You know what is right. Deep down, you know. The battle between your true wisdom and the counterfeit wisdom of society is what causes frustration. Refuse to compromise with what you know is right-with what is right for you.
VERNON HOWARD

Battle Causes Frustration
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

Goal Self Supermind Upset
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

Mind Thinking Years
Persistence prevails, like a stream that is temporarily blocked by boulders and then collects force enough to overflow onward.
VERNON HOWARD

Mind Perseverance Persistence
You have your emergency plan ready. And in simple language what that emergency plan is, what you put into operation, is called worry. If you can worry you are occupied, and what an incredible human situation it is!
VERNON HOWARD

Emergency Language Occupied Operation Simple
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

Mistake Past Regret
There is no way reality can be prevented from flowing the way it flows. It is our vain attempts to force it to flow in the service of our imaginary needs which sets us in painful conflict with our- selves and nature.
VERNON HOWARD

Needs Reality Self
Your central self is totally untouched by grief, confusion, desperation.
VERNON HOWARD

Confusion Grief Self
All forms of self-defeating behavior are unseen and unconscious, which is why their existence is denied.
VERNON HOWARD

Self Unseen Weakness
We are slaves to whatever we don’t understand.
VERNON HOWARD

Slave Understanding Whatever
