The present Moment is the only place that is real. Be in your body. Be Here. Now. We all need this reminder, especially when we're busy or stressed. Letting Go begins one moment at a time. Letting Go begins Now. We're glad you're here. #lettinggo #guyfinley

Unconscious reaction turns life into fear, ambition, anger, or an enemy. When that reaction is met with quiet awareness, life can reveal a possibility that was present all along. #lettinggo #truth #Philosophy

Even in psychological amnesia, you never lose your connection to the whole; awareness continues trying to reach you. The end of separation is not a new union but recognition of the living relationship that never stopped holding you. #lettinggo #truth #Philosophy

In this latest essay, Guy contrasts that how we react to the “waves” which roll through our lives and how the sea accepts all and lets it pass. We too can learn to “let the sea be the sea”. gfinley.substack.com/p/step-…

We explain why we are the way we are, then use that explanation to justify another plan for becoming better. Because the same nature creates both the explanation and the plan, the promise of change continues while the nature itself remains unseen. #lettinggo #truth #Philosophy

"Nothing in the world can stop you from letting go and starting over. Nothing." ~ Guy Finley Every day offers us that divine opportunity. Will you accept it? Letting Go Begins Now. Start today. We're glad you're here. #lettinggo #guyfinley

Thinking from a negative reaction is not the same as thinking for yourself. The beginning of independent thought is recognizing the reaction as it appears instead of automatically thinking and acting from it. #lettinggo #truth #Philosophy

Even in the darkest of moments, we always have a choice: What will we give our attention to? It is remembering that choice that can change that moment and our lives. Letting Go Begins Now. We're glad you're here. #lettinggo #guyfinley

Every transition offers a moment to step outside the mind’s usual momentum. When you come to a complete stop—even briefly—you rediscover the simple fact that you exist. #lettinggo #truth #Philosophy

"The more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become." ~ Guy Finley #awareness #lettinggo #guyfinley

Useful suffering begins when we stop escaping long enough to see the movement of wanting and resisting within ourselves. That direct recognition transforms unconscious resistance into conscious suffering we can understand for ourselves. #lettinggo #truth #Philosophy

One sure way to tell that you're still trying to change or escape some long-gone unwanted moment... is that you can't stop reliving that experience, even though you claim you want it to stop. ~ Guy Finley Read More: guyfinley.org/stand-on-the-s…

Anger, worry, and regret can feel like responses we choose, but they can begin directing us before we recognize what is happening. Once a negative state takes over, even our next action belongs to the reaction rather than to us. #lettinggo #truth #Philosophy

Are you always looking to "tomorrow" for peace? For the chance to be better? For clarity? The present moment is the only place that is real. Wake up now. Start now. Let Go Now. We're glad you're here. #awareness #mondaymotivation
