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.
running transformation proportion
Our life-transformation is in exact proportion to the amount of truth we can take without running away.
healing failing easier
Healing fails to occur because it is much easier to injure another than to heal oneself.
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.
night guidance guidance-and-direction
Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.
frustration battle causes
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.
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.
mistake creativity dark
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.
secret teachable whole
Be teachable. That is the whole secret.
spiritual real simple
Don't try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being.
prison can-not ifs
You can not escape a prison if you do not know you're in one.
life vanity order
The leap is made by dropping vanity over knowledge and by a willingness to become nothing in order to become everything.
world woe causes
The need to impress others causes half the world's woes.
years feet sensible
It is a thousand times more sensible to climb one foot up the mountainside than to chatter for years about the mountaintop.
