Those who dare to try what others only dream of - never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.
Guy Finley
The only one interested in hearing your sad story is . . . you and even you wish you didn't have to relive it again!
Guy Finley
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
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
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

Guy Finley
On the other side of resistance is the flow of real life.
Guy Finley
Ours is the task of discovering that our true nature has nothing to fear.
Guy Finley
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
Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!
Guy Finley
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
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
The smallest effort to remember the Divine, or even one of its timeless truths, connects you to a calmness whose power is in that secret strength found in all things deep.
Guy Finley
Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.
Guy Finley
All things good come to those for whom the Good is all things.
Guy Finley
Nothing glows brighter than the heart awakened to the unseen light of love that lives within it.
Guy Finley
Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.
Guy Finley
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
The more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become.
Guy Finley
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.
