When you are genuinely strong, you neither attack nor defend and so retain your energy.

You have it made when you don’t care whether you have it made or not.
VERNON HOWARD

Care Made Mind
The only way to do something truly important every day is to seek to understand yourself every day.
VERNON HOWARD

Important Understand Way

Do not let them deceive you into assuming that they are creative forces; they are not. They are thieves of genuine powers. As always, your awareness of their thievery is your first fine step toward casting them out.
VERNON HOWARD

Always Assuming Force Genuine People Thievery
