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
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
We conquer ourselves by learning patience, for she gives to us our longed for victory only in the surrender of self.
Guy Finley
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
Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.
Guy Finley
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
Guy Finley
Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future.
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
Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.
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 more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become.
Guy Finley
One way to measure your own fears is to count the number of personal questions you've allowed others to answer for you.
Guy Finley
It isn't something of which most of us are aware, but we human beings are 'marked' with a certain strange feature, and that is: We want to change.
Guy Finley
Letting go, at its heart, is an act of agreement with Life.
Guy Finley
Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.
Guy Finley
Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.
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
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
Ours is the task of discovering that our true nature has nothing to fear.
Guy Finley
Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.
