First, all relationships are with yourself-and sometimes they involve other people. Second, the most important relationship in your life-the one you have, like it or not, until the day you die-is with yourself.
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
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

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.

If you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind, stop fighting with your thoughts.
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
Courage, contrary to popular belief, is not the absence of fear. Courage is the wisdom to act in spite of fear.
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.
Peter McWilliams
Many people weigh the guilt, they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
Peter McWilliams
Worrying is the interest paid on a debt you may not owe.
