If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it.
Peter McWilliams
To the degree we can live without the things of this world, we are wealthy.
Peter McWilliams
Courage, contrary to popular belief, is not the absence of fear. Courage is the wisdom to act in spite of fear.
Peter McWilliams
Worrying is the interest paid on a debt you may not owe.
Peter McWilliams
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
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves - at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others - at what they did or did not do.
Peter McWilliams
There are many misconceptions about depression-mostly negative. Unfortunately, because depressed people think negatively about depression and its treatment, they don't get help, which allows the depression to worsen, which leads to more negative thinking, which produces a vicious cycle of suffering.
Peter McWilliams
As with most consensual crimes, this prohibition of hemp is both silly and sinister.
Peter McWilliams
Many people weigh the guilt, they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
Peter McWilliams
Drugs, gambling, and prostitution are the Big Three underground 'moneymakers' in consensual crime. There would be, however, significant boosts to the economy if the stigma attached to the other consensual crimes were eliminated through legalization.
Peter McWilliams
This is a lifetime of good-byes. In our time, we will say good-bye to cherished people, things, and ideas. Eventually, we say good-bye to life itself with our death. Learn to say a good good-bye. Allow yourself to mourn each loss. As with a physical wound, the body has its own schedule for healing. It will tell you when it has healed.
Peter McWilliams
Learn to forgive fully and completely. If you want health, wealth, and happiness, you can't afford the luxury of lugging around all those unforgiven, unforgotten past events. Let them go.
Peter McWilliams
It is a risk to love. What if it doesn't work out? Ah, but what if it does.
Peter McWilliams
Send the light of your own loving ahead of you. When you get there, the loving will have prepared a place for you. Be kind, gentle, and enjoy the journey.
Peter McWilliams
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves.
Peter McWilliams
If you were arrested for being kind to yourself..would there be enough evidence to convict you?
Peter McWilliams
Anger begins as an inner twinge. We sense something long before it blossoms (explodes?) into an emotional tirade. If we listen to this twinge -- and follow its advice -- the emotional outburst (or in burst) is not needed.
Peter McWilliams
The purpose of education is to make the choices clear to people, not to make the choices for people.
Peter McWilliams
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
Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation.
Peter McWilliams
