We are slaves to whatever we don’t understand.

Vernon Howard

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

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.

The power of the present moment is so immense it is capable – when lived in fully – of destroying forever every past mistake and regret.
VERNON HOWARD

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.
VERNON HOWARD

Brave Crisis Giving Self Suggest
Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing must follow self-honesty.
