More quotes by Guy Finley

Guy Finley
Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves.
Guy Finley
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.
Guy Finley

Guy Finley
Each moment of every one of my relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of myself.

Guy Finley
If we're interested in spiritual things, we gradually realize that what we really need is to understand this nature that seems to be a bottomless basket, because there is no peace in it.
Guy Finley

Guy Finley
The heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.
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
All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.
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
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
Fearlessness comes with the birth of this new understanding: The only reason life changes as it does is to reveal the secret Goodness underlying those same changes.
Guy Finley
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
Guy Finley
Those who dare to try what others only dream of - never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.
Guy Finley
The vast majority of our troubles and heartaches would simply vanish from view if only we could remember - before we act - that we are made victims mostly by our own tendencies.
Guy Finley
Make it your moment-to-moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts, and being carried along by them.
