Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.

We must make the choices that enable us to fulfill the deepest capacities of our real selves.

It is we ourselves that we have to think about, no one else. That is the way the saints worked. They paid attention to what they were doing, and if others were attracted to them by their enterprise, why, well and good. But they looked to themselves first of all.

The wise way to benefit humanity is to attend to your own affairs, and thus give other people an opportunity to look after theirs.

As for myself, I always willingly acknowledge my own self as the principal cause of every good and of every evil which may befall me; therefore, I have always found myself capable of being my own pupil, and ready to love my teacher.

You have to work on your own thing. You have to work on yourself, and you have to bring something to the game.

I invented myself.

People get all caught up thinking they have to train a certain way or take a certain approach to things, but there's so much more to this than fitting into what other people think you are supposed to do. You have to have fun and enjoy what you are doing; otherwise, what is it all worth?

I can be a better me than anyone can.

The self-surmounter can never put up with the man who has ceased to be dissatisfied with himself.

If your outer life is really a reflection of the quality of your inner life, then it's a brilliant move to spend at least an hour a day working on yourself.

the process of building a self and its works is always too slow. One is always in arrears to oneself.

I am responsible for myself. I am exactly who I eventually wanted myself to be, I guess, without consciously knowing what I wanted me to be.

Regard yourself as a small corporation of one. Take yourself off on team-building exercises (long walks).

The following day you will feel a deep and cohering sense of embarrassment.
