Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

There is a plan, and your soul knows what it is.

Each soul enters with a mission. We all have a mission to perform.

The best way to find out whether you're on the right path? Stop looking at the path.

I have a general sense of mission, and I intuitively know when something is influencing that mission. I think this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Doors keep opening. In the end, it's the best use of my skills. I've finally consented to the idea that I'm an artist.

You can have the best of intentions and think you're doing the right thing but you fall down when you're going against your own instinct.

I think it's absolutely a blessing when you just know what your purpose is and your destiny. I don't think it's a curse at all.

I've always had this tremendous and very deep feeling of knowing my purpose, you know? It never dawned on me, it always very much known.

Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you.

In each of us, there is a little voice that knows exactly which way to go. And I learned very early to listen to it, even though it has caused so much grief and havoc, and I think that is the only answer.

If you've ever felt inspired by a purpose or calling, you know the feeling of spirit working through you.

If you don't like the way you are headed, change direction. Go inside. Search your place of inner wisdom. See what this calls on you to do. Then do it.

I think the terminology I would use is 'a continuous process of reflection'. I've always thought of only two questions that have mattered to me personally. One is what is really needed in the world and the second is what's really important to me and how these two intersect. It's always been a reflective process - spiraling around these two poles.

Walk neither faster nor slower than your own soul. Because it is your soul that will teach you the usefulness of each step you take.

Right now, in this moment, your soul has again created opportunity for you to be, do, and have what it takes to know Who You Really Are. Your soul has brought you to the words you are reading right now-as it has brought you to words of wisdom and truth before. What will you do now? What will you choose to be? Your soul waits, and watches with interest, as it has many times before.

Each soul must accomplish its task, or it would not have been sent here.

I think that the only choice that we have in life is whether we align ourselves with God or not. I think everything else is all taken care of for us. You know? If you choose to align with your source, with your spirit, then your life will go in a certain direction. If you choose to align yourself with your ego, and your false self, and the belief that who you are is what you accomplish and what other people think of you and what you accumulate, if you just go that route - the outer route, if you will, the outer path - your life will go in a different direction.

... a man has to think of his soul before everything else.

We must attend to what our inner guidance is nudging us toward.

I think I'm led by spirit. I think I'm led by a sense of what is right and what feels good to me - what I accept, what is joyful, what is positive. I see my mission, in a way, as carrying that forward - not so much by preaching, but by embodiment.

What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.

I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that my instincts were right.

I think it's really important to give yourself a very big question that you're working on that you can come home to.

As I look back I know that most of the mistakes I have made have come when I didn't listen to myself, when I didn't trust my instincts... I believe you need to listen, carefully, to hear your inner voice. And then, you have to do what it says.

Inner Nature, when relied on, cannot be fooled. But many people do not look at it or listen to it, and consequently do not understand themselves very much. Having little understanding of themselves, they have little respect for themselves, and are therefore easily influenced by others.

Nobody else knows your reason for being. You do. Your bliss guides you to it. When you follow your bliss, when you follow your path to joy, your conversation is of joy, your feelings are of joy - you're right on the path of that which you intended when you came forth into this physical body.
