You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.
Guy Finley

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.

Image
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.

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!
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.

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
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
Image
Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over.
Guy Finley
Image
Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.
Guy Finley
Image
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.
Guy Finley
Image
Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.
Guy Finley
Image
All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.
Guy Finley
Image
Each time that you don't know you are choosing, then of those choices you are not the chooser.
Guy Finley
Image
All things good come to those for whom the Good is all things.
Guy Finley

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

Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.
