Quote

Most people would rather complain about some painful life pattern than dare to meet the level of their own consciousness responsible for its repeated appearance... and therein do the work needed to change it once and for all.

The only thing worried thoughts have the power to change is what the next thing will be for you to worry over!
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
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.

Image
Each time that you don't know you are choosing, then of those choices you are not the chooser.

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!

The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.

If we only knew how many times our seemingly clever comment cut straight into the heart of the person with whom we have just spoken, it is we who would bleed.

Image
Discouragement is a negative emotion with more than one trick up its dark sleeve. It tricks you into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place you want to leave. Drop all such sorrow permanently by daring to see through this deception of the unconscious mind. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today

Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.

Image
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.

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
Image
Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.
Guy Finley
Image
Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
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.
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.

Being anxious, or in a painful rush of any kind, kills the possibility of meeting anyone with compassion
