Neale Donald Walsch quotes

“A life lived by choice is a life of conscious action. A life lived by chance is a life of unconscious reaction.”

“All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by two emotions – fear or love.”

“Be a gift to everyone who enters your life, and to everyone whose life you enter. Be careful not to enter another’s life if you cannot be a gift.”

“Do what you do for the sheer joy of it,
Do what you choose, not what someone else chooses for you.”

“Feelings can be tricky. Feelings are the language of the soul, but you must make sure you are listening to your true feelings and not some counterfeit model constructed in your mind.”

“Government is the perfect portrayer of the accuracy of the axiom that if you lie big enough, long enough, the lie becomes the truth.”

“If the whole world followed you, would you be pleased with where you took it?”

“If you want guarantees in life, then you don't want life. You want rehearsals for a script that's already been written.”

“If you want the best the world has to offer, offer the world your best.”

“It is okay to be at a place of struggle. Struggle is just another word for growth. Even the most evolved beings find themselves in a place of struggle now and then. In fact, struggle is a sure sign to them that they are expanding; it is their indication of real and important progress. The only one who doesn’t struggle is the one who doesn’t grow. So if you are struggling right now, see it as a terrific sign — celebrate your struggle.”

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

“Move forward with no second-guessing, no guilt trips, no hesitation. Your purpose is to recreate yourself anew in each moment.”

“Must you know that yours will be the better picture before you pick up the brush and paint? Can it not simply be another picture? Another expression of beauty? Must a rose be better than an iris in order to justify it’s existence?”

“No one does anything inappropriate, given their model of the world.”

“Pain results from a judgment you have made about a thing. Remove the judgment and the pain disappears.”

“Remember first that everything you think, say, and do is a reflection of what you've decided about yourself; a statement of Who You Are; an act of creation in your deciding who you want to be.”

“Sometimes you have to do what you don’t want to do in order to ensure that you won’t have to keep on doing it! This apparent contradiction is part of the Divine Dichotomy, which says that sometimes the only way to ultimately be a thing may be, at first, to not be it!”

“The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be.”

“Today the Earth is populated with billions of people desperately hoping to get somewhere, but having no idea of where they’re going.”

“True masters are those who've chosen to make a life rather than a living.”

“What you resist, persists.”

“What's happening is merely what's happening. How you feel about it is another matter.”

“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”

“You are afraid to die, and you’re afraid to live. What a way to exist.”

“Your soul doesn't care what you do for a living - and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you are being while you are doing whatever you are doing.”
