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.

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
Image
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
Image
Listening to your own mind gives you good reasons why you should be fearful over unexpected events is just like being friends with someone who thinks it's funny to find new ways to hurt you!
Guy Finley
Image
Getting stressed and struggling to change the outcome of any past event is like arguing with an echo to make it see your point of view.
Guy Finley
Image
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.
Guy Finley
Image
Most people would rather complain about some painful life pattern than dare to meet the level of their own consciousness responsible for its repeated appearance... and therein do the work needed to change it once and for all.
Guy Finley
Image
Know that everything is in perfect order whether you understand it or not.
Guy Finley
Image
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.
