More quotes by Guy Finley
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
No condition outside ourselves can create a rut or trap us in it. It's impossible.
Guy Finley
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
The mistake we have made in our lives is that over and over again we've run into the needful moment and then failed to learn its higher lesson. We don't like needful moments and therefore we resist them.
Guy Finley
Each time that you don't know you are choosing, then of those choices you are not the chooser.
Guy Finley
The only reason your mind won't stop its endless chattering is because you won't stop listening to it!
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
Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!
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!
Guy Finley
Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.
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 heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.
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
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
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
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.
Guy Finley
Make it your moment-to-moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts, and being carried along by them.
Guy Finley
Once you know what it means to choose in favor of yourself, there is no power in the universe that can make you choose against yourself.
Guy Finley
It isn't something of which most of us are aware, but we human beings are 'marked' with a certain strange feature, and that is: We want to change.
Guy Finley
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.
