Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?
Guy Finley
Image
Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.
Guy Finley

Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.

To know that every moment — regardless of how it comes wrapped — is a gift greater than you can give yourself, is to be well on your way to a life without fear.
Guy Finley
Image
It isn't something of which most of us are aware, but we human beings are 'marked' with a certain strange feature, and that is: We want to change.
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

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.

The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.

Guy Finley
Image
Staying present, living in Presence is the best gift anyone can give to those they love.
Guy Finley
Image
Self-pity is the campsite of self-defeat it is a dark refuge for those parts of us that would rather wallow in what cannot be than dare to explore what is possible.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.

Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.
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
Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future.

Image
See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea.

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