Letting Go with Guy Finley

Question: Can guilt be used to tell me that I did something that needs to be changed? Answer: Guilt is a wasted, useless, and ultimately self-destructive state. We need only see ourselves as we are in the moment when misstepping. This awareness not only changes what misstepped within us, but it also dismisses any wrong…

It is important to understand what it means to be in the wrong place. The right place isn’t just where your body is sitting. Have you ever been in the right place physically, paid a lot of money to go there, and then sat there resenting the fact that there was pulp in your orange…

Once upon a time, there was an eco-tour guide in Africa who was considered the safest guide in all of Africa because virtually no one got hurt on his tours. You would think that people would flock to this eco-tour guide because of his safety record, but he had a certain reputation. It wasn’t just…

Answer: You’re delivering the wrong message… and you’re not the delivery person. Trying to be…

Trying to support an illusion steals your energy and those with whom you interact. Real life does not drain you as you learn to “be” with others…

Things are the way they are, because we are the way we are; the life we’ve made acts upon us, but how we act in return — in each and every moment — serves, in the same way, to change what is being made each and every moment. The seed is the deed.

Any lingering sense of sadness that permeates one’s life cannot be separated from the “smallness” of that person’s life. Work to connect yourself to the “allness” of life — instead of identifying with the smallness of it — and you’ll awaken to a greatness already living within you that is no more be bothered by…
