More quotes by Guy Finley
Those who dare to try what others only dream of - never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.
Guy Finley
What you don't want to know about yourself wants to be known, which is why it keeps 'showing up' at your door unannounced!
Guy Finley
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.

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
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
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
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
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
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
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
The more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become.
Guy Finley
Listening to your own mind gives you good reasons why you should be fearful over unexpected events is just like being friends with someone who thinks it's funny to find new ways to hurt you!
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
