Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Everybody should get to make a living with their passion.

If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.

I learned a valuable life lesson that summer. You should find something in life that you really enjoy and seriously consider making that your life's work.

Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you'll be a happy person.

To me, spending your life doing what you love is a gift. Everyone enjoys different walks of life, so find what you love to do and try to make a living at it.

Find your passion is in life, and do what you can to integrate that into your work life. That's not to say you won't have occasional frustrations in your job - that just goes with the territory - but at least you'll feel better inside, and that, over time, will mean more to you than you might think.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'.

Making a living and having a life are not the same thing. Making a living and making a life that's worthwhile are not the same thing. Living the good life and living a good life are not the same thing. A job title doesn't even come close to answering the question. "What do you do?".

Do what you love and don't focus on money - life's too short.

I believe that if you don't derive a deep sense of purpose from what you do, if you don't come radiantly alive several times a day, if you don't feel deeply grateful at the tremendous good fortune that has been bestowed on you, then you are wasting your life. And life is too short to waste.

I have certain strong interests that fill my life as well.

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.

I don't want to spend my life doing jobs that I don't care about.

If you can figure out how to get paid to do something you love, that's the dream.

I don't want to be 60 years old standing on stage telling some jokes. I want my life to mean something.

You only get so much time to do something that you enjoy or love to do. If you can continue doing it, you might as well, because I don't want to live in regret. I don't want to be the person sitting behind a desk, wondering, 'Did I do it right, did I finish it off, did I really give it my all?'

I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it; I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

I've spent my life following my passion.

My dad said 'When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life,' and I agree with that.

I recommend my students not to be professional unless they really have to be. I tell them, 'If you love music, sell Hoovers or be a plumber. Do something useful with your life.'

I know it's cliche to say, 'When you do something you love you never work a day in your life.' But it is true: When you do something you love, life gets to be a little bit easier and enjoyable. So I just want people to follow their dreams.

If you can build your career around your passions, then you're winning in life; that's one of the best things you can ask for.

Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.

I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.

I don't want to do anything that I'm not passionate about.
