The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.

More quotes by Guy Finley
Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!
Guy Finley
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
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
Being anxious, or in a painful rush of any kind, kills the possibility of meeting anyone with compassion
Guy Finley
See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea.
Guy Finley
The only world in which defeat exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.
Guy Finley
Know that everything is in perfect order whether you understand it or not.
Guy Finley
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
Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.
Guy Finley
The Only Power You Need to Be Free of Troublesome People Since what other people do to you is not in your power to change, you need only concern yourself with what you do to yourself, for that is in your power
Guy Finley
Instead of always asking how to get others to approve of you... learn to ask: What do I really want, the applause of the crowds or to quietly have my own life?
Guy Finley
Ours is the task of discovering that our true nature has nothing to fear.
Guy Finley
The smallest effort to remember the Divine, or even one of its timeless truths, connects you to a calmness whose power is in that secret strength found in all things deep.
Guy Finley
Better that the whole world should turn against you... than you should consent to turn against what is true within you.
Guy Finley
Once you know what it means to choose in favor of yourself, there is no power in the universe that can make you choose against yourself.
Guy Finley
To know that every moment — regardless of how it comes wrapped — is a gift greater than you can give yourself, is to be well on your way to a life without fear.
Guy Finley
You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.
Guy Finley
Nothing glows brighter than the heart awakened to the unseen light of love that lives within it.
Guy Finley
As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.
Guy Finley
Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.
