Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.

Everything that happens helps you grow, even if its hard to see right now.

We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.

The process of life is ever unfolding, guiding you, pushing you, preparing you for the next part of the process.

Perhaps these things are there to keep us alert, to make us stronger, or to test our resolve to keep moving forward.

Life is bristling with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to cultivate one's garden.

It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me...if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me.

Obviously, this isn't the time in my life that I would have chosen to do this, but I feel like life gives you these challenges for a reason. I feel so happy and glad to be in the place that I am. I really feel blessed. This is something I need to face and take control of.

However mean your life is, meet it and live it.

I love hearing stories about, you know, people who are overcoming challenges in their life. And when you experience hardships, you can either fold or rally, and just by a paradigm shift in your belief system.

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

It was hard. I came to grips with a lot of difficulties that I've overcome. Each challenge kind of makes you who you are. It wasn't always a good thing. I have my own struggles in my life because of the things I was forced to overcome.

Why did the achievers overcome problems while thousands are overwhelmed by theirs? They refused to hold on to the common excuses for failure. They turned their stumbling blocks into stepping stones. They realized that they couldn't determine every circumstance in life but they could determine their choice of attitude towards every circumstance.

I hope this brings someone else the courage they need to face whatever challenge is before them.

There are some things you can only learn in a storm.
