Guy Finley Self Quotations

It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.

Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.

Stop Looking for Permission to Be Yourself. The true individual is no more concerned over what others may think of him or her than is the sun troubled by people complaining that it's too warm, or that it shines too bright!

You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.

The secret self knows the anguish of our attachments and assures us that letting go of what we think we must have to be happy is the same as letting go of our unhappiness.

Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: "What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?"

What good is any feeling we may have about ourselves, if it only lasts as long as others agree to it?

We conquer ourselves by learning patience, for she gives to us our longed for victory only in the surrender of self.

Self-pity is the campsite of self-defeat; it is a dark refuge for those parts of us that would rather wallow in what cannot be than dare to explore what is possible.

Real prayer, the soul-transformi ng kind, is self-discontinu ity. It is a conscious act of self-suspension arising from the wish for something new to occur..

Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.

An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.

The only mistake that we can make as human beings is to be asleep, unaware of ourselves.

Each time we see and are touched by the expression of some eternal principle, we catch a sweet glimpse of some aspect of our True Self.

Anyone or anything that asks you to be untrue to yourself has already acted against you.

Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.

What is the nature of that place where our original self is one with its longing to explore its own deepest possibilities, and where discovering the treasures waiting there is the same as fulfilling our purpose for being?
