Be easier on yourself, on everyone, on everything. Suspend your judgments on the way things should be, must be, and ought to be. Suspending judgments gives you greater ease. Consider ease the antidote for disease.

More quotes by Peter McWilliams
There is no answer to any of these questions. It's a matter of time and timing, of seas and seasons, of breathing in and breathing out. It's a matter of balance.
Peter McWilliams
Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation.
Peter McWilliams
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.
Peter McWilliams
The Bible, taken as a whole, can be used to praise or condemn practically any human activity, thought, belief, or practice.
Peter McWilliams
By pursuing any one of our dreams, we can find fulfillment. We don't need to pursue them all.
Peter McWilliams
To visualize is to see what is not there, what is not real - a dream. To visualize is, in fact, to make visual lies. Visual lies, however, have a way of coming true.
Peter McWilliams
It is a risk to love. What if it doesn't work out? Ah, but what if it does.
Peter McWilliams
We are all, right now, living the life we choose.
Peter McWilliams
The comfort zone takes our greatest aspirations and turns them into excuses for not bothering to aspire.
Peter McWilliams
To the degree we can live without the things of this world, we are wealthy.
Peter McWilliams
The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.
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.
Peter McWilliams
You have to follow the old rule for a while. In fact, once you master the old rule, you are then the master-and masters get to change things.
Peter McWilliams
I feel that I am entitled to take medicinal marijuana. In general, I believe that everyone who has a doctor's prescription is entitled to take marijuana. I, however, do not believe that my day in court should be taken from me, and that's essentially what's happening.
Peter McWilliams
For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people suffer from this disease because negative thinking is addictive to each of the Big Three - the mind, the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get you, the others are waiting in the wings.
Peter McWilliams
Emotion is energy in motion.
Peter McWilliams
Because people are afraid of fear, they give up acre after acre of their own life.
Peter McWilliams
The only difference between fear and excitement is what we label it. The two are pretty much the same physiological/emotional reaction. With fear, we put a negative spin on it: Oh no! With excitement, we give it some positive english: Oh, boy!
Peter McWilliams
For many, negative thinking is a habit which, over time, becomes an addiction.
Peter McWilliams
If you want physical peace, stop the struggle of life. Don't push the body beyond its fatigue point. Rest the body enough. Exercise it enough. Then let it be. ... If you want peace with others, don't fight them. Go your own way. Live your own life. If some walk with you, fine.
Peter McWilliams
