“You Don’t Have to put Up with it Anymore.”
Not one day longer. What is it you can give up? Feeling victimized, a noisy mind, unpleasant people, nightmare conditions, and all else bad. Success requires that you turn in the right direction, which is to build a spirit that wants to know what life is really all about. Don’t turn towards grief or gloom. You don’t have to put up with it anymore, so don’t put up with it anymore. -Vernon Howard
This is #3 in Vernon’s booklet: “50 Ways to Get Help from God.”
In one short paragraph, Vernon reminds us of an important fact, which we put up with terrible conditions within ourselves because we won’t slow down and take an inner inventory. We wrongly believe there are no other answers than the ones we flop our way through life with. It is extremely strong to do the same thing overand over. Hogwash! Away with with this mechanicalness! Real answers exist, and they bring relief.
The seeker must actually do the work, which reveals what steps to take next. When you seek you come to new realizations which direct and lead you to more understanding. Read the books, listen to Vernon’s tapes, and do the exercises, and you will prove everything for yourself.
Thanks for the reminder Steve to slow down, take inventory and see that we are creating life’s problems ourselves. I can’t be reminded of this enough.
Yes Glenda, What is the hurry? Darkness wants us to be distracted by keeping us anxious towards our lives. It is relentless in its quest to keep us madly involved. Calling its bluff is a full time job.
