You can't change the kind of person you are later. There is no later. It's always now or never. You can't be kind later. And you can't learn later. Choose to change now, and that moment will never come for you to worry about how to be better next time. Why? Because your conscious choice for real change in the present moment automatically cancels the need for a better you in a better future...
The following key lessons are taken from 365 Days to Let Go. Use their insights to help yourself discover the unique opportunities in unwanted conditions... *** Life is always new, which means there is no such thing as an "old" problem. What does, in fact, grow "older" in us -- and secretly seasons our suffering -- is how we more readily and rapidly accept our own conclusions that our prob...
In this short talk, Guy Finley talks about why it is so important for all of us to learn something new and true about ourselves everyday.
In this world that we live in, nothing appears that is not an expression of an axiom. One of the reasons that the sun rises every morning is to reveal all that is created. Were it not for light, we would not be able to see forms because matter by itself is dark. Absolutely nothing in nature is special because everything is special. How many of you think that the world is intended to revolve a...
The purpose of true spiritual study is to begin a very slow and steady process by which the human mind that is willing to be educated is brought into the presence of new understanding. This new understanding is not something that you can give to yourself, but it must start with certain ideas that are intended to come between you and your present suffering. Presently our suffering feeds on itse...
The wish itself -- to be a higher person -- comes to you from a higher place and is received in its inner equivalent within you. This means there's already an existing connection between the you that you want to be and the you that you presently are; between the new destiny you would have, and the fortunes you've known. All you have to do is stay on the royal road that has brought you up to th...
The only way a man or woman will ever know a life without conflict is when they see the Love behind everything that happens -- not by imagination, but through direct participation, recognition. There is never a moment that God's will isn't actually pouring down on us in one shape or form of energy or another. It is never not taking place, which means that we can always be in alignment with a g...
It always amazes me on sun-bright mornings such as this one how I could have ever forgotten just how much beauty hides in a winter day. The ground is covered in rich brown tones borrowed from curling leaves. Here and there pop up patches of fall-parched grasses just greening, reborn from early rains. And, more than anything else, the stark trees of winter stand like nature's exclamation points...

Topics Covered: If you do not know what initiates the actions you take, then there is no "you" choosing to do anything at all; Why would we limit the impressions that come with an unwanted moment?
