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.

Believing that anxious thoughts and feelings can restore order to your life is like using a chain-saw to fold your laundry.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.
Guy Finley
Image
You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.
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
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
Image
I am willing to walk toward, and then through, whatever may be seen in the moment as being greater than myself.
