You must learn to stop thinking in terms of beginnings and endings, successes and failures, and begin to treat everything in your life as a learning experience instead of a proving one.

Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.

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

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

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.

Ours is the task of discovering that our true nature has nothing to fear.

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.

Image
Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
I am willing to walk toward, and then through, whatever may be seen in the moment as being greater than myself.

Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.

Self-pity is the campsite of self-defeat it is a dark refuge for those parts of us that would rather wallow in what cannot be than dare to explore what is possible.

Believing that anxious thoughts and feelings can restore order to your life is like using a chain-saw to fold your laundry.

Rushing around, hoping to find peace of mind anywhere other than within yourself, is like looking for your heart in someone else's body!
