In order to truly master the comfort zone, we must learn to love it.
Peter McWilliams
Image
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves.
Peter McWilliams
Image
To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.
Peter McWilliams
Image
Running from fear only strengthens fear-you are demonstrating that fear has power over you. Fear must be faced and gone through.
Peter McWilliams
Image
Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle.
Peter McWilliams
Image
Prison is a crash course in the darker side of life. Few survive it without becoming a different person: more cynical, jaded, fearful, angry. Its hard to trust again, hard to believe, easy to hate a system that destroyed your life behind the pompous pretense of saving you from yourself, for your own good.

If you're not playing a big enough game, you'll screw up the game you're playing just to give yourself something to do.

If we learned all we needed to know in kindergarten, it was promptly drummed out of us in first grade.

Image
When we put things off until some future-probably mythical-Laterland, we drag the past into the future. The burden of yesterday's incompletions is a heavy load to carry. Don't carry it.
Peter McWilliams
Image
If you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind, stop fighting with your thoughts.
Peter McWilliams
Image
We can consciously end our life almost anytime we choose. This ability is an endowment, like laughing and blushing, given to no other animal... in any given moment, by not exercising the option of suicide, we are choosing to live

If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it.
Peter McWilliams
Image
Many people weigh the guilt, they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
Peter McWilliams
Image
I must conquer my loneliness alone. I must be happy with myself or I have nothing to offer you. Two halves have little choice but to join and yes, they do make a whole. But two wholes when they coincide... that is beauty. That is love.
Peter McWilliams
Image
We can do anything we want. The next time you hear yourself saying, to another-and especially yourself-I Can't, take a deep breath and say instead, My resources are otherwise engaged.

Image
You're asking the government to control individual morality. This is a government that can't buy a toilet seat for under $600.
Peter McWilliams
Image
All the things you think you should have done that you didn't do, and all the things you did that you think you shouldn't have done, accept them. You did (or didn't ) do them. That's reality. That's what happened. No changing the past.
Peter McWilliams

Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. We are not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it.
