More quotes by 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 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
Our thoughts create our reality - where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.
Peter McWilliams
Find your horse. Discover the direction the horse is going. Ride the horse in that direction.
Peter McWilliams
You can't afford the luxury of a negative thought
Peter McWilliams
Meditation creates more time than it takes.
Peter McWilliams
Let your intentions create your methods and not the other way around.
Peter McWilliams
Many people weigh the guilt, they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
Peter McWilliams
If you were arrested for being kind to yourself..would there be enough evidence to convict you?
Peter McWilliams
When thought and action are combined, the results are powerful-among the most powerful forces on earth. The combination of successful communication-the sharing of thoughts-and physical action can, literally, move mountains.
Peter McWilliams
We are all, right now, living the life we choose.
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
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
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
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
As with most consensual crimes, this prohibition of hemp is both silly and sinister.
Peter McWilliams
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.
Peter McWilliams
The purpose of education is to make the choices clear to people, not to make the choices for people.
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
You're asking the government to control individual morality. This is a government that can't buy a toilet seat for under $600.
