Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

The thing is, the only real sign of life is growth. And growth requires pain. So to choose life is to accept pain.

There is no growth without change, and there is no change without loss.

We cannot afford not to fight for growth and understanding, even when it is painful, as it is bound to be.

In so many things, growth comes from adversity.

It is clear that we must embrace struggle. Every living thing conforms to it. Everything in nature grows and struggles in its own way, establishing its own identity, insisting on it at all cost, against all resistance.

The past can teach us, nurture us, but it cannot sustain us. The essence of life is change, and we must move ever forward or the soul will wither and die.

I know change can be painful. But from change comes growth.

Falling is scary but good practice for life. We must fall. In love. Out of love. Into new experiences. Out of old habits. Deeper and further into ourselves. We must fall, life is falling over forward. The only choice we have is how we let go.

Sometimes you face difficulties not because you're doing something wrong, but because you're doing something right.

Change is the nature of life but challenge is the future of life. So challenge the changes. Never change the challenges.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

Life means progress, and progress means suffering.

To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist.

It's okay to lose. Losing teaches you something. Having to try and going through the trials and tribulations to actually overcome, to get there to win, to triumph, that's what makes life interesting.

I've learned in my life that it's important to be able to step outside your comfort zone and be challenged with something you're not familiar or accustomed to. That challenge will allow you to see what you can do.

Without struggle, no progress and no result. Every breaking of habit produces a change in the machine.

I overcame a lot of obstacles in my life and in my childhood.

All my novels are about people who strive to heal and evolve.

I like being challenged. That's the only way you grow.

I like any story that starts one place and really takes a huge journey to a whole new place; that people in their life want to take that journey. They want to be able to find things in their life that aren't working and work through them to a new place of change.

Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

Everyone should change; otherwise, you can't grow as a person in life.

I personally think if something's not a challenge, there's no point doing it, because you're not gonna learn much.

We're always evolving. It forces us to grow.

Whenever you're feeling moments of discomfort, that means true change is happening for you.
