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.

Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same.

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.

Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.
Guy Finley
Image
Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?

Only you can choose the nature of what grows, or what doesn't, within you.

Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.

Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.

To know that every moment — regardless of how it comes wrapped — is a gift greater than you can give yourself, is to be well on your way to a life without fear.
