Vernon Howard quotes about
example watches looks
Have the daring to stop doing the things you really don't want to do. Can you see them? Look closely. Can you observe the many things you do because you reluctantly feel you should or must? Watch closely. Examine every action and reaction. Do you act naturally or do you act because you feel compelled? If you feel compelled, stop. Compulsion is slavery. Example: Refuse to go along with the crowd.
beauty skins poor
Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.
loss thinking opposites
If you call one thing good, you must call its opposite bad. If you think it wonderful to make a big profit in your business, you will also think it terrible if you incur a large loss. The idea is to live above the opposites.
costumes crowds carnivals
Society is like a crowd in carnival costumes with everyone fearful that others will see through his disguise.
kindness genuine
Genuine kindness is not what we do, it is what we are.
mind remember mental-illness
Remember above all that mental stability comes by examining the contents of the mind, not by avoidence.
rain self wind
Is the beam from a lighthouse affected by howling wind and rain? It remains perfectly steadfast and unaffected by the storm. Your true self is like that. Nothing can ever harm you once you are consciously aware that it is so.
bears looks sickness
Human sickness is so severe that few can bear to look at it...but those who do will become well.
health healing yield
The miracle of self-healing occurs when the inner patient yields to the inner physician.
break-through always-trying mind
What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.
understanding slave
We are slaves to whatever we don't understand.
understanding negative emotion
A clear understanding of negative emotions dismisses them.
effort genuine
Genuine effort is success.
mind trying dawn
When the mind is exhausted in trying to find the answer, the answer dawns.
