Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same.

An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.
Guy Finley
Image
If we only knew how many times our seemingly clever comment cut straight into the heart of the person with whom we have just spoken, it is we who would bleed.
Guy Finley
Image
It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.
Guy Finley
Image
Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.
Guy Finley
Image
It's important for us to become aware of the fact that we are needful, for with that awareness also comes the sensing that we couldn't be needful if there weren't something to fulfill the need.
Guy Finley
Image
The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.
Guy Finley
Image
All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.
Guy Finley
Image
Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person, place, and event - serves a very special, if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.
Guy Finley
Image
Self-pity is the campsite of self-defeat it is a dark refuge for those parts of us that would rather wallow in what cannot be than dare to explore what is possible.
