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
Image
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
Image
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
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
As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.
Guy Finley
Image
Rushing around, hoping to find peace of mind anywhere other than within yourself, is like looking for your heart in someone else's body!
Guy Finley
Image
The fear of seeing ourselves as we are ensures we will never see the end of our fears.
Guy Finley
Image
Believing that anxious thoughts and feelings can restore order to your life is like using a chain-saw to fold your laundry.
Guy Finley
Image
Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Those who dare to try what others only dream of - never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.
