Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

You're not going to scare me into being somebody I don't want to be.

If someone is trying to stop you from enjoying your life by impeding on yours, and telling you that your life is not the right way, then by all means, I'm the first one to say, "Fight for your rights, fight for who you are and for what you believe in." But you better be the stronger person. Just be aware and attentive to everything that's happening in life and know that there are gonna be people that are going to stop you and going to enjoy stopping you from getting to your goals. But just continue to be strong and outwit them.

You just have to be able to stand up for yourself. And that's OK.

Stay true to what you believe in and don't let people try to change that direction. Don't take no for an answer.

Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.

[On how she goes about trying to live authentically] Well really listening to my point of view and if I am on a set, say, that doesn't really value a woman's point of view, regardless of how they feel, continuing to give my point of view and try to find a way to be heard and not diminishing myself because other people are diminishing me. Because that, I think, is the worst temptation that, you know, you judge yourself by how others are judging you, and to fall into that trap is to walk into the realm of self-annihilation.

Always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody says distract you from your goals.

When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks.

The thing that I think was very brave of my younger self was that he decided he would be an idiot. Just persevere. That feels brave to me: deciding that I'm going to damn well be this person that I've set my heart on being.

Don't worry. Don't apologize. Don't cower behind the defeated security of there is no 'room for someone like me'. There isn't room for any one of us. It's up to you to make a place for yourself in the world. So get to work.

Never give up on yourself. Then you will never give up on others.

Your ability to stand up for your truth is a muscle, and the more you exercise it the stronger it gets.

You gotta say what you say, Don't let anybody get in your way...

You cannot let people come up in your face and stop you.

I'm a strong woman.

When you make the right decision, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

I learned to stand up for myself at school where I was never too popular.

I'm not a downtrodden woman. I just won't be.

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.

I'm not gonna apologize for who I am and what I've gone through.

I don't think I could live with myself if I stopped trying.

I'm not going to just fade out, I know.

But I also enjoy life... the more scrutiny I am under, the more confident I become. I am who I am. I can't do anything about it, and I love who I am.

I've learned that I don't need much sleep, and that I am able to really stand up for the things that I think that are important and that there are a lot of people out there who agree with me.

You have got to decide, look, this is who I am; this is my best way to present myself, and I'm going to ride that horse to the finish line. Not everybody will like it, but that's OK.
