Guy Finley's You Can Be Unstoppable

Key Lesson: Count the moments you reject on any given day and you have before you the number of ways in which you’ve refused Life’s great invitation to change your relationship with it.

Key Lesson: Any lingering sense of sadness that permeates one’s life cannot be separated from the "smallness" of that person’s life.

Key Lesson: Once we realize that our suffering is not, as we fear, something greater than we are, but rather a still secret aspect of our potential to know an unshakable interior Greatness, then suffering takes on a whole new meaning.

Key Lesson: Achievements in and of themselves change little in us; they are little more than a merit badge that tarnishes in time. Seen aright, it’s the suffering we endure for the sake of what we love that helps to transform and perfect our nature into something newer and truer. It is not so much what we acquire, as it is our willingness to pay the “cost” of it that actually enriches us.

Key Lesson: Awareness of the need to meet life in a whole new way always precedes the will (to be able) to do it.

Key Lesson: Saying “I” to the painful resistance you feel at the outset of any unwanted moment is like turning on a blender, wrapping your hands around it, and then thinking that your name is slice and dice!

Key Lesson: In truth, who we really are is not something we can "know," let alone keep...any more than a raindrop can know that its mother is some great distant sea and, for this knowledge, remain there safely between its shores.

Key Lesson: Resistance to any negative reaction accelerates it.

Key Lesson: Observe the amount of self-induced drama that drives the lives of those around you...and you will also see the amount of unseen emptiness that stalks them wherever they go.

Key Lesson: The only thing gained by any lie you tell yourself (or to others) is the soon to be shattered illusion that it’s possible to protect a fear.
