Everything passes. There is great beauty in this, both in the passing of pain and in the passing of pleasure. When things present themselves to you as permanent, don't believe it.

The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.
Guy Finley
Image
Getting stressed and struggling to change the outcome of any past event is like arguing with an echo to make it see your point of view.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.
Guy Finley
Image
The real quality of our life is not determined by what we have won from it, but by what we have discovered within it.
Guy Finley
Image
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
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
Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.
Guy Finley
Image
Know that everything is in perfect order whether you understand it or not.
Guy Finley
Image
A whole new kind of spiritual happiness dawns in us as we realize that dark clouds do not ruin sunny skies... they merely pass through them to help us remember our love of the light.
