It's a done deal that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.

Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.
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
Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person, place, and event - serves a very special, if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.
Guy Finley
The fear of seeing ourselves as we are ensures we will never see the end of our fears.
Guy Finley
The only world in which defeat exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.
Guy Finley
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
