Everything passes. There is great beauty in this, both in the passing of pain and in the passing of pleasure. When things present themselves to you as permanent, don't believe it.
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
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?

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.

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
Guy Finley
Image
We conquer ourselves by learning patience, for she gives to us our longed for victory only in the surrender of self.
Guy Finley
Image
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.

Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.
Guy Finley
Image
Most people would rather complain about some painful life pattern than dare to meet the level of their own consciousness responsible for its repeated appearance... and therein do the work needed to change it once and for all.
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
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
Image
The only thing worried thoughts have the power to change is what the next thing will be for you to worry over!
Guy Finley
Image
No condition outside ourselves can create a rut or trap us in it. It's impossible.
Guy Finley
Image
The fear of seeing ourselves as we are ensures we will never see the end of our fears.
Guy Finley
Image
The real quality of our life is not determined by what we have won from it, but by what we have discovered within it.

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