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

Home Love Mistake
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.
VERNON HOWARD

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

Confusion Grief Self
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.
