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
What you don't want to know about yourself wants to be known, which is why it keeps 'showing up' at your door unannounced!
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.
Guy Finley
Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.
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
Better that the whole world should turn against you... than you should consent to turn against what is true within you.
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
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
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
Real freedom isn't subject to how others estimate our value it is in realizing that none are free who find their sense of worth wondering how others measure their lives.
Guy Finley
Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.
Guy Finley
Rushing around, hoping to find peace of mind anywhere other than within yourself, is like looking for your heart in someone else's body!
Guy Finley
The only reason your mind won't stop its endless chattering is because you won't stop listening to it!
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
All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.
Guy Finley
Being anxious, or in a painful rush of any kind, kills the possibility of meeting anyone with compassion
Guy Finley
Staying present, living in Presence is the best gift anyone can give to those they love.
Guy Finley
An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.
Guy Finley
No one rises above who he or she has been without first having fallen down. The best time - in fact, the only time - to make a real change in your life is in the moment of seeing the need for it. He who hesitates always gets lost in the hundred reasons why tomorrow is a better day to get started.
Guy Finley
Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.
Guy Finley
The mistake we have made in our lives is that over and over again we've run into the needful moment and then failed to learn its higher lesson. We don't like needful moments and therefore we resist them.
Guy Finley
