Find your horse. Discover the direction the horse is going. Ride the horse in that direction.
Peter McWilliams
Willingness opens the doors to knowledge, direction, and achievement. Be willing to know, be willing to do, be willing to create a positive result. Be willing, especially, to follow your dream.
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.

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.

It is a risk to love. What if it doesn't work out? Ah, but what if it does.

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
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
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
In order to truly master the comfort zone, we must learn to love it.
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
To the degree we can live without the things of this world, we are wealthy.
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!
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
To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.
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
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves.
