Beware of those who do nothing constructive with their precious few moments on this earth, for they seek to squander your allotted time with the same reckless abandon. – Guy Finley

The only one who never loses sight of his True Nature, who never becomes a captive of negative states, is that fortunate person who never forgets this one great truth: Even though nothing we look upon in this world belongs to us, everything about our life is a gift. – Guy Finley

The truth is that the only time we ever really ‘fail’ at anything in our life is when we mistakenly walk away from it before we’ve allowed it to teach us its secret ways.
There is no such thing as – later – when it comes to our spiritual life. What we do in the Now is the sole seed of our life experience, a fact that has many implications beginning with this simple truth: We cannot harbor negative states and expect our relation ’ships’ not to sink!
At any given moment we must give all that we have to whatever we may be doing, for only complete action on our part has the power to teach us completely those lessons that life would have us learn. – Guy Finley

The only way to know for sure whether Life is inherently good or not is to never again let some pressure-filled fear convince us that without its guidance something bad will surely befall us. The truth is that once we see there is nothing good about fear, bad things stop happening to us. – Guy Finley

The only medicine guaranteed to help heal the common conflict that flares up between ourselves and another is our willingness to realize, explore, and then release our own negative reaction to what we believe we see as being the other person’s transgression. – Guy Finley

All negative assumptions about our lives are a painful prophecy made up by unconscious parts of us that not only want us to see ourselves as failures but — once having convinced us of our inevitable demise — actually cause the unwanted outcome they predict. – Guy Finley

Wishing for freedom is like wishing on a star: until we learn what it means to personally reach out and help produce that brighter world we envision for ourselves and others, we remain little more than armchair architects — those who believe that merely dreaming of a world without fear and hatred is the same as building one.

A painful regret is a needless present pain over an experience now past, where a misstep becomes the seed of a misery mistakenly carried forward, instead of a lesson learned and then dropped. – Guy Finley

Being anxious, always in a rush and racing after whatever it is we’ve imagined will help us to be more at peace with ourselves, is like running to catch the shadow of a passing cloud on a hot summer’s day so that we get to stand in a cool spot! – Guy Finley

Getting negative over how others treat you is the same as mistreating yourself! Stop wasting your life. Wake up and be wise. See dark thoughts and feelings as the lie that they are. Then, instead of suffering their cruel presence within you as proof that someone did you wrong, you’ll see these negative states themselves as being the sole cause of your suffering. – Guy Finley

Larry’s Note: This falls under the category of “Take Responsibility” for yourself. Never blame others for how you CHOOSE to feel. Life’s greatest gift is choice. Others do what they do and you CHOOSE to feel good or bad about it. It is always and only your choice. No one can get your goat if they don’t know where it’s tied up! – Larry James
