healing failing easier
Healing fails to occur because it is much easier to injure another than to heal oneself.

Be teachable. That is the whole secret.

Worried thought prevents practical thought which could prevent worried thought.
night guidance guidance-and-direction
Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.
world woe causes
The need to impress others causes half the world's woes.
successful successful-day truth-is
Every day that you attempt to see things as they are in truth Is a supremely successful day.
motivational book reading
Many of us knock on the door but remain outside, because knocking and entering are entirely different actions. Knocking is necessary, consisting of reading books, attending meetings, asking questions. But entrance requires much bolder action. It requires one to enter into himself, to uncover hidden motives, to see contradictions, and to realize his actual power for self-change.
understanding acquisition
Happiness is not the acquisition of anything; it's the understanding of something.
emotional feelings assumption
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.
challenges feelings way
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.
success fighting way
Instead of fighting your problems, picture your way out of them.
honesty healing self
Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing must follow self-honesty.
loneliness self confusion
Happiness is yours in the here and now. The painful states of anxiety and loneliness are abolished permanently. Financial affairs are not financial problems. You are at ease with yourself. You are not at the mercy of unfulfilled cravings. Confusion is replaced with clarity. There is a relieving answer to every tormenting question. You possess a True Self. Something can be done about every unhappy condition. While living in the world you can be inwardly detached from its sorrows to live with personal peace and sanity.
