Guy Finley, The Secret of Letting Go

“Notre besoin d'être forts nous pousse à chercher quelque chose ou quelqu'un qui puisse nous aider à ne pas être anéantis chaque fois que notre vie commence à d'effondrer.
Notre besoin de signification nous oblige à nous inventer un but stérile après l'autre et à investir nos énergies dans des tâches inépuisables.
Notre besoin d'être aimés nous contraint à accepter la cruauté des autres en échange d'une parcelle de leur gentillesse.”
Guy Finley, The Secret of Letting Go

Guy Finley, The Secret of Letting Go
“Secret Self is your royal nature. Like the kingly condition that it is, it knows about you what you have yet to learn about yourself. Let it reveal to you its secret kingdom. It belongs to you. You receive a portion of this kingdom each time you refuse to be captured by the common and choose instead in favor of the celestial. The stars are your birthright. We must look beyond the sparrow to the skies through which it wings.”
Guy Finley, The Secret of Letting Go

Guy Finley, The Secret of Letting Go

“Les gens sereins, sages, heureux et prospères voient leur vie et les événements sous un angle différent. Un homme sage ne peut se laisser duper ni induire en erreur. Les "mauvaises nouvelles" n'ont pas d'emprise sur une femme sincèrement heureuse. Une personne prospère ne se laisse pas affoler par une nouvelle télédiffusée ou par une manchette sensationnelle du journal. Ces personnes sont habitées de façon permanente par une sagesse, un contentement et une richesse intérieurs et non extérieurs.”
Guy Finley, The Secret of Letting Go
“Quiconque est authentiquement heureux ou sage le demeure dans chaque situation. Il apporte cette qualité avec lui partout où il va. La sagesse et le contentement font partie de sa nature.”
Guy Finley, The Secret of Letting Go
“Toutes les choses qui me causent de l'anxiété ou de l'inquiétude n'ont, en soi, rien de bon ou de mauvais, sauf dans la mesure où mon esprit est perturbé par elles.”

“Toute relation soumise à une pression, même si son but est d'essayer de raccommoder les choses, finit toujours par se disloquer. Nous pouvons apprendre à faire mieux qu'à nous laisser diriger par cet esprit du moi malavisé. Nous pouvons apprendre à nous distancer de ses manigances autodestructrices.”
Guy Finley, The Secret of Letting Go
“Le vrai besoin qu'il avait éprouvé tout ce temps-là était de goûter un moment de silence qu'il ne pouvait trouver à l'endroit où son esprit ordinaire le gardait occupé à chercher.”
