All forms of self-defeating behavior are unseen and unconscious, which is why their existence is denied.
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
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
