Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Find patience in the breath of life.

But if you can plant yourself in stillness long enough, you will, in time, experience the truth that everything (both uncomfortable and lovely) does eventually pass.

The Bauls say, "Don't try to force anything." Let life be a deep let-go. See God opening millions of flowers every day without forcing the buds, waiting, never in a hurry, giving their time to them. The Bauls say, "Everything happens at its right time, everything happens in its own season. Wait, don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry. All hurry is greed, and all hurry is a subtle fight." That which is going to happen will happen. Whenever it is going to happen it will happen; you need not fight existence. You can surrender, you can trust.

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Peace is when time doesn't matter as it passes by.

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

Right now I am trying to be in a place of calm, a place where I can chill out and then handle the chaos of life better. You don't just get it overnight; you have to work at it. It's a daily struggle.

Lie down and listen to the crabgrass grow The faucet leak, and learn to leave them so.

I have developed a Zen-like approach to the operating systems that people use: 'When you're ready, the right operating system will appear in your life.'

Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still.

Chill out, relax and have an open mind.

When the striving ceases, there is life waiting as a gift.

Slow down. Calm down. Don't worry. Don't hurry. Trust the process.

Why do you not do as I do? Letting go of your thoughts as though they were the cold ashes of a long dead fire?

Some things you're not letting happen right now because the timing isn't perfect for you. Some you're not letting happen because you are very aware of where you are. But all things, as they are happening, are happening in perfect order. And if you will relax and begin saying, "Everything in its perfect time. Everything is unfolding. And I'm enjoying where I am now, in relationship to where I'm going. Content where I am, and eager for more," that is the perfect vibrational stance.

At some point, you gotta let go, and sit still, and allow contentment to come to you.

Be patient with all that is uncertain in your heart...do not search for answers, which will not be given: you will not be able to live them, and its importat to live everything.

When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.

Be patient. Relax and trust. Let go. Then, let go some more.

You need not even listen, just wait...the world will offer itself freely to you, unmasking itself.

No pressure. Just relax and watch it happen.

Do not run away; let go. Do not seek; for it will come when least expected.

I surrender my anxiety and my sense of urgency. I allow God to guide me in the pacing of my life. I open my heart to God's timing. I release my deadlines, agendas, and stridency to the gentle yet often swift pacing of God. As I open my heart to God's unfoldings, my heart attains peace. As I relax into God's timing, my heart contains comfort. As I allow God to set the tone and schedule of my days, I find myself in the right time and place, open and available to God's opportunities.

We can travel a long way in life and do many things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. it is born from letting go of what is unnecessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.
