Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.
Guy Finley
Image
The more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become.
Guy Finley
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.
Guy Finley

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

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.

You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.

Discouragement is a negative emotion with more than one trick up its dark sleeve. It tricks you into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place you want to leave. Drop all such sorrow permanently by daring to see through this deception of the unconscious mind. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today

Better that the whole world should turn against you... than you should consent to turn against what is true within you.

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
Image
Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.
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.

Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.
Guy Finley

You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.

On the other side of resistance is the flow of real life.

Being anxious, or in a painful rush of any kind, kills the possibility of meeting anyone with compassion

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.

It's a paradox of the true spiritual path, but the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our life.

Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.
