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.

More quotes by Peter McWilliams
To the degree we can live without the things of this world, we are wealthy.
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
By pursuing any one of our dreams, we can find fulfillment. We don't need to pursue them all.
Peter McWilliams
Send the light of your own loving ahead of you. When you get there, the loving will have prepared a place for you. Be kind, gentle, and enjoy the journey.
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
If we aren't actively pursuing what we want, we don't really want it.
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
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
In order to truly master the comfort zone, we must learn to love it.
Peter McWilliams
While goals are chosen, a purpose is discovered. Our purpose is something we have been doing all along, and will continue to do, regardless of circumstances, until the day we die
Peter McWilliams
The comfort zone takes our greatest aspirations and turns them into excuses for not bothering to aspire.
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
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
Let your intentions create your methods and not the other way around.
Peter McWilliams
Nothing adventured, nothing attained
Peter McWilliams
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.
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
If we learned all we needed to know in kindergarten, it was promptly drummed out of us in first grade.
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
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!
