More quotes by 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
The purpose of education is to make the choices clear to people, not to make the choices for people.
Peter McWilliams
If we aren't actively pursuing what we want, we don't really want it.
Peter McWilliams
People who want to appear clever rely on memory. People who want to get things done make lists.
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
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.

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.

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 you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind, stop fighting with your thoughts.
Peter McWilliams
Many people weigh the guilt, they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
Peter McWilliams
In order to truly master the comfort zone, we must learn to love it.
Peter McWilliams
As the world gets dumber and dumber, I feel more and more at home.
Peter McWilliams
Marijuana is the finest anti-nausea medication known to science, and our leaders have lied about this consistently. [Arresting people for] medical marijuana is the most hideous example of government interference in the private lives of individuals. It's an outrage within an outrage within an outrage.
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
Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation.
Peter McWilliams
No matter what you do, no matter how stupid, dumb or damaging you judge it to be, there is a lesson to be learned from it. No matter what happens to you, no matter how unfair, inequitable or wrong, there's something you can take from the situation and use for your advancement.
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
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
Courage, contrary to popular belief, is not the absence of fear. Courage is the wisdom to act in spite of fear.
