The mistake we have made in our lives is that over and over again we've run into the needful moment and then failed to learn its higher lesson. We don't like needful moments and therefore we resist them.

More quotes by Guy Finley
Real freedom isn't subject to how others estimate our value it is in realizing that none are free who find their sense of worth wondering how others measure their lives.
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.
Guy Finley
No condition outside ourselves can create a rut or trap us in it. It's impossible.
Guy Finley
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
Guy Finley
Nothing glows brighter than the heart awakened to the unseen light of love that lives within it.
Guy Finley
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
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
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
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
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
All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.
Guy Finley
As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.
Guy Finley
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.
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
It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.
Guy Finley
It isn't something of which most of us are aware, but we human beings are 'marked' with a certain strange feature, and that is: We want to change.
Guy Finley
The next time you catch yourself starting to feel bad about anything, immediately stop everything you are doing for a moment and, as simply and as honestly as you can, ask yourself: Is this what I really want?
Guy Finley
A whole new kind of spiritual happiness dawns in us as we realize that dark clouds do not ruin sunny skies... they merely pass through them to help us remember our love of the light.
Guy Finley
The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.
Guy Finley
Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.
