Quote

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.

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.

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
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.
Guy Finley
Image
Real freedom isn't subject to how others estimate our value it is in realizing that none are free who find their sense of worth wondering how others measure their lives.

You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.

Real prayer, the soul-transformi ng kind, is self-discontinu ity. It is a conscious act of self-suspension arising from the wish for something new to occur.

Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.
