Our thoughts create our reality-not instantly, necessarily, as in Poof! There it is - but eventually. Where we put our focus - our inner and outer vision - is the direction we tend to go. That's our desire, our intention.

More quotes by Peter McWilliams
Pain (any pain--emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls into one of two categories: We would be more alive if we did more of this and Life would be more lovely if we did less of that. Once we get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away.

Wealth is enjoying what we already have, not getting more of what we think will make us happy.

No matter what you do, no matter how stupid, dumb or damaging you judge it to be, there is a lesson to be learned from it. No matter what happens to you, no matter how unfair, inequitable or wrong, there's something you can take from the situation and use for your advancement.

The purpose of education is to make the choices clear to people, not to make the choices for people.

It's your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious.
Peter McWilliams
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.

Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.
Peter McWilliams
In order to truly master the comfort zone, we must learn to love it.

While goals are chosen, a purpose is discovered. Our purpose is something we have been doing all along, and will continue to do, regardless of circumstances, until the day we die
Peter McWilliams
Desire happiness, aspire to gratitude, long for health, crave compassion, seek satisfaction, lust after God, however & whatever you perceive God to be, want to love yourself, others & everything around you more and more each day
Peter McWilliams
I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.

Many people weigh the guilt, they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
