"One false idea is that anyone can hurt you. Events can ruin your reputation, take your money, mistreat you, revenge itself upon you, deceive, betray, abandon you, but cannot hurt you."

~ Vernon Howard from The Power of Your Supermind

We’ve heard this before, eh?

Viktor Frankl says the same thing; Aurelius says the same thing. Ditto Buddha. Ditto every other wise teacher.

Anything can happen to us. Our thoughts dictate how we respond to it...

There exists a special self which takes every event as if it were the very thing you wanted to happen. That self is the Supermind, which is never upset by anything. Your goal is to nourish it into greater strength. Then, every step is sunlit.”
