More quotes by 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. 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

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
Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.
Guy Finley
Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.
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
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
As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.
Guy Finley
Each moment of every one of my relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of myself.
