Turns out that when we feel in control and know that all is well, we feel happy. Vernon was a true mystic, I’ve loved reading his books (I first read the book below about 30 years ago) and highly recommend them. Our happiness is directly linked to our ability to master our thoughts and to discern truth. We must know what needs to be fixed, that will then lead to ways to address that apparent problem.
