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

Important Understand Way

VERNON HOWARD

Challenges Feelings Gratitude

VERNON HOWARD

Acceptance Block Simple

VERNON HOWARD

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
Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn, and you will.
