More quotes by Peter McWilliams
Our thoughts create our reality - where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.
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
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
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
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
If you're not playing a big enough game, you'll screw up the game you're playing just to give yourself something to do.
Peter McWilliams
All the good, fine, noble, and creative acts of humanity were conceived as a spark in a single human consciousness.
Peter McWilliams
I'm a confirmed negaholic. I don't just see a glass that's half full and call it half-empty I see a glass that's completely full and worry that someone's going to tip it over.
Peter McWilliams
If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it.
Peter McWilliams
For now realize that you can change anything you want, but you can't change everything you want.
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
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
Let your intentions create your methods and not the other way around.
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
To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.
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.
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
People who want to appear clever rely on memory. People who want to get things done make lists.
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
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.
