More quotes by Guy Finley
Discouragement is a negative emotion with more than one trick up its dark sleeve. It tricks you into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place you want to leave. Drop all such sorrow permanently by daring to see through this deception of the unconscious mind. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today
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 a paradox of the true spiritual path, but the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our life.
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
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
Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future.
Guy Finley
Those who dare to try what others only dream of - never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.
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
Most people would rather complain about some painful life pattern than dare to meet the level of their own consciousness responsible for its repeated appearance... and therein do the work needed to change it once and for all.
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
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
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
The heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.
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
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.
Guy Finley
Each moment of every one of my relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of myself.
Guy Finley
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
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
You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.
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.
