Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.
Guy Finley
Image
Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!
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.

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
Image
Those who dare to try what others only dream of - never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.
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 strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.
Guy Finley
Image
Only you can choose the nature of what grows, or what doesn't, within you.
Guy Finley
Image
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.
Guy Finley
Image
Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over.
Guy Finley
Image
The only reason your mind won't stop its endless chattering is because you won't stop listening to it!
Guy Finley
Image
Being anxious, or in a painful rush of any kind, kills the possibility of meeting anyone with compassion
Guy Finley
Image
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.
