More quotes by Peter McWilliams
All the good, fine, noble, and creative acts of humanity were conceived as a spark in a single human consciousness.
Peter McWilliams
Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.
Peter McWilliams
We are not responsible for every thought that goes wandering through our mind. We are, however, responsible for the ones we hold there. We're especially responsible for the one's we put there.
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
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
Laughter is essential to our equilibrium, to our well-being, to our aliveness. If we're not well, laughter helps us get well. If we are well, laughter helps us stay that way.
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
Worrying is the interest paid on a debt you may not owe.
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
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 visualize is to see what is not there, what is not real - a dream. To visualize is, in fact, to make visual lies. Visual lies, however, have a way of coming true.
Peter McWilliams
Gays seem to be at the bottom of the pecking order: no matter how far down the pecking order another group is, its members still feel superior to and have no problem picking on gays.
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
Let your intentions create your methods and not the other way around.
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
The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.
Peter McWilliams
If you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind, stop fighting with your thoughts.
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
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
The simple solution for disappointment depression Get up and get moving. Physically move. Do. Act. Get going.
