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

Truth does not really hurt, rather it is our resistance to its message that causes us pain.
VERNON HOWARD

Hurt Pain Resistance
A false path must be tensely and angrily defended by those it has deceived.
VERNON HOWARD

Choices Path Wise Words
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
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
Suppose you stand on a high place to enjoy the beauty of the sparkling sea below. You need do nothing to create that beauty; you need only BE IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT IS, and let nature do the rest. So it is with the inner life.
VERNON HOWARD

Psychics Sea Self
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
Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table; it is the water poured into all of them.
VERNON HOWARD

Cups Tables Water
When you are genuinely strong, you neither attack nor defend and so retain your energy.
VERNON HOWARD

A person obsessed with the need to be happy will never be so. The obsession is the obstruction.
VERNON HOWARD

Needs Obsessed Obsession
We are exactly where we have chosen to be.
VERNON HOWARD

Chosen Exactly Want
Anger or bitterness toward those who have hurt you will block your path to higher ground. You can have anger toward people or you can have freedom from people, but you can’t have both.
VERNON HOWARD

Block Ground Higher Hurt
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

Challenges Feelings Gratitude
Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.
VERNON HOWARD

Guidance Heard Night
Change is never a loss – it is change only.
VERNON HOWARD

Attitude Change Loss
Study carefully the law of cause and effect.
VERNON HOWARD

Causes Law Study
Persistence prevails, like a stream that is temporarily blocked by boulders and then collects force enough to overflow onward.
VERNON HOWARD
