More quotes by Peter McWilliams
Marijuana is the finest anti-nausea medication known to science, and our leaders have lied about this consistently. [Arresting people for] medical marijuana is the most hideous example of government interference in the private lives of individuals. It's an outrage within an outrage within an outrage.
Peter McWilliams
Write 10 times: 'Fear is my friend. Fear is the energy to do my best in a new situation.' You don't have to believe it just write it.
Peter McWilliams
If we learned all we needed to know in kindergarten, it was promptly drummed out of us in first grade.
Peter McWilliams
For writing, getting off our buts means getting on our butts-putting it into a chair and not moving from the chair for a set period of time.
Peter McWilliams
When you start noticing even a small portion of all there is to be grateful for, you'll find there is no room for lack, hurt, or want. The attitude of gratitude: the great, full feeling.
Peter McWilliams
Wealth is enjoying what we already have, not getting more of what we think will make us happy.
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
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
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.
Peter McWilliams
Don't accept the limitations of other people who claim things are 'unchangeable'. If it's written in stone, bring your hammer and chisel.
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
Meditation creates more time than it takes.
Peter McWilliams
This is our true wealth: the riches we take with us, the joy we carry inside, the support we learn to give ourselves, and the self-loving that flows as a natural by-product of that support.
Peter McWilliams
Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it's a small price to pay for living a dream.
Peter McWilliams
Learn to ask for what you want. The worst people can do is not give you what you ask for which is precisely where you were before you asked.
Peter McWilliams
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves.
Peter McWilliams
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.
Peter McWilliams
Heroes became heroes flaws and all gives us hope. You mean I don't have to be perfect to fulfill my Dream, to make a contribution? Hardly. It takes commitment, courage, and passion to live a dream and make a contribution. Heroes had these qualities along with their flaws.
Peter McWilliams
The irony is that the person not taking risks feels the same amount of fear as the person who regularly takes risks.
Peter McWilliams
Emotion is energy in motion.
