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.

Guy Finley
Image
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
Guy Finley
Image
The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.
Guy Finley

The fear of seeing ourselves as we are ensures we will never see the end of our fears.
Guy Finley
Image
The only reason your mind won't stop its endless chattering is because you won't stop listening to it!
Guy Finley
Image
The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.
Guy Finley

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
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.
