More quotes by 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
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.
Guy Finley
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?
Guy Finley
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.
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
Only you can choose the nature of what grows, or what doesn't, within you.
Guy Finley
A whole new kind of spiritual happiness dawns in us as we realize that dark clouds do not ruin sunny skies... they merely pass through them to help us remember our love of the light.
Guy Finley
Fearlessness comes with the birth of this new understanding: The only reason life changes as it does is to reveal the secret Goodness underlying those same changes.
Guy Finley
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.
Guy Finley
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
The next time you catch yourself starting to feel bad about anything, immediately stop everything you are doing for a moment and, as simply and as honestly as you can, ask yourself: Is this what I really want?
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
The real quality of our life is not determined by what we have won from it, but by what we have discovered within it.
Guy Finley
Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.
Guy Finley
Rushing around, hoping to find peace of mind anywhere other than within yourself, is like looking for your heart in someone else's body!
Guy Finley
It's important for us to become aware of the fact that we are needful, for with that awareness also comes the sensing that we couldn't be needful if there weren't something to fulfill the need.
Guy Finley
Letting go, at its heart, is an act of agreement with Life.
Guy Finley
You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.
Guy Finley
The belief that you have no choice but to keep suffering through whatever frightens you is like believing you have to hold onto a scalding cup so that you won't spill your coffee!
