Guy Finley Quotes
Saying “yes” for fear of saying “no” is a recipe for resentment.
We are not here to learn to play, we are here to play to learn.
Do you know what a good life is? A good life is a life in which you never have to think about yourself again. You know why? Because you can’t think about yourself without producing fear.
You are going to have to struggle with something that you have never struggled with before. I am talking to you about it now. I am talking to you about the fact that your whole life to date has been in an effort to control what you see as being finite. The whole of life for human beings, predicated on the idea that one must acquire power in order to overpower conditions that will not give them what they say they need in order to have a fixed sense of security and well-being.
Real compassion lies within our ability to remember that an angry, vengeful or hateful person is usually just someone who can no longer bear the weary weight of his or her own carefully concealed despair.
Nothing in the universe can hold down that rare individual who clearly realizes that he or she dosen’t know what’s in the way of his or her happiness, but who is willing to find out.
There is no natural place inside of a human being for negative states. None. So if you’re negative, frightened, worried, anxious, fearful, it’s because you have bought into the work of the image, who shows you what it needs to show you so that you can be the person who now has to hate your condition.
Our Real Self is a ceaseless, ever-changing, and vital expression of eternal energies, even though this timeless nature remains veiled from us because of our present level of consciousness.
The way you answer life’s events, and what you experience as your life, are really one.
No man is powerful as long as power is his need.
Why do you want the approval of others who don’t even approve of themselves?
It’s imposssible to discover who you really are if you limit what you are willing to find out about yourself to only what you want to know.
Consciously giving up the last word is a secret prayer because the you that wants the last word isn’t really you at all…it’s that dark spirit of one-upmanship, that dark spirit of combativeness.
We are the subject of all that we have yet to realize, and the object of all that we have realized.
An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self defeat.
Whatever forms your resentments may take, they wreck only you, not the one you resent.
