Is the beam from a lighthouse affected by howling wind and rain? It remains perfectly steadfast and unaffected by the storm. Your true self is like that. Nothing can ever harm you once you are consciously aware that it is so.

Rain Self Wind
Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.
VERNON HOWARD

Guidance Heard Night
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

Creativity Dark Mistakes
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
All we have to do is to receive what we are given…We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.

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.

Mind Thinking Years
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
When one plan that you have, to get this or to get that, to advance in the world, or whatever it might be, when that seems in danger of veering off the path you have set for it.
VERNON HOWARD

Simple World Worry
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
Don’t try to live. Let yourself be lived.
VERNON HOWARD

Live Nothing Trying
Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing must follow self-honesty.
VERNON HOWARD

Healing Honesty Self
Aloneness is a wise teacher. Kierkegaard remarked that one sign of spiritual maturity was the ability to be comfortable when alone.
