We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception.
VERNON HOWARD

Conflict Conscious Perception
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.

All heartache is caused by wrong viewpoints.
