More quotes by Guy Finley

Guy Finley

Guy Finley
Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future.
Guy Finley

Guy Finley
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.

Guy Finley
Each time that you don't know you are choosing, then of those choices you are not the chooser.
Guy Finley
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
I am willing to walk toward, and then through, whatever may be seen in the moment as being greater than myself.
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.
Guy Finley
Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over.
Guy Finley
Staying present, living in Presence is the best gift anyone can give to those they love.
Guy Finley
Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.
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
