More quotes by 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.
Guy Finley
Everything passes. There is great beauty in this, both in the passing of pain and in the passing of pleasure. When things present themselves to you as permanent, don't believe it.
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
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
The mistake we have made in our lives is that over and over again we've run into the needful moment and then failed to learn its higher lesson. We don't like needful moments and therefore we resist them.
Guy Finley
Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.
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
As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.
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
The smallest effort to remember the Divine, or even one of its timeless truths, connects you to a calmness whose power is in that secret strength found in all things deep.
Guy Finley
The heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.
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
The only one interested in hearing your sad story is . . . you and even you wish you didn't have to relive it again!
Guy Finley
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
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
Be still quietly remember the presence of and within yourself, and you will know, without thinking, that while all around you everything changes, within you lives something unchanging.
Guy Finley
It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.
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
The only thing worried thoughts have the power to change is what the next thing will be for you to worry over!
Guy Finley
Stop Looking for Permission to Be Yourself. The true individual is no more concerned over what others may think of him or her than is the sun troubled by people complaining that it's too warm, or that it shines too bright!
