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.

On the other side of resistance is the flow of real life.
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
Image
Ours is the task of discovering that our true nature has nothing to fear.
Guy Finley
Image
Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!
