Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

I got this second chance at life, and I live it.

Opportunity presents itself sometimes in unusual situations. What you think is the worst thing turns out to be a good thing. Different circumstances challenge people to do things they didn't know they could do, and in those times when the outlook appears the worst, we find new reasons for optimism.

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. Yet that will be the beginning.

We can always begin again.

We in America believe in starting over - and over and over.

I mean this country is all about second chances. Look at me.

Every day is a new opportunity to reach that goal.

The very purpose of our life is happiness, which is sustained by hope. We have no guarantee about the future, but we exist in the hope of something better. Hope means keeping going, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ It brings inner strength, self-confidence , the ability to do what you do honestly, truthfully and transparently.

You can start your day over anytime.

Hopefully, we're still living in the land of second chances.

There is always a way and always hope in the next sunrise, and in the next second, and in the next minute.

Take a (second or third or fourth) chance. Remake the world.

A few days after we came home from the hospital, I sent a letter to a friend, including a photo of my son and some first impressions of fatherhood. He responded, simply, 'Everything is possible again.' It was the perfect thing to write, because that was exactly how it felt. We could retell our stories and make them better, more representative or aspirational. Or we could choose to tell different stories. The world itself had another chance.

Anyway, I want to remember that love can happen. Because there is life after not having a life. I never expected love to happen. What was I expecting from life, then?

I don't see life as an opportunity to see how far you can go in the pursuit of pain, although I think I've challenged it a bit.

Today might not be so good. But tomorrow, you got another chance to get it right.

Every person is a possibility. The hopeless romantics feel it most acutely, but even for others, the only way to keep going is to see every person as a possibility.

Hope opens doors where despair closes them.

You can't change where you come from, but you can change where you go from here. Just like a book. If you don't like the ending, you make up a new one.

I do not allow myself to be overcome by hopelessness, no matter how tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without thinking of the bigness of what you stand against, if you turn to the enlargement of your own capacities, just that itself creates new potential.

Prepare your mind to recieve the best that life has to offer.

Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.

If you take the approach that “good” is not an accident - that everyone and everything that shows up in your life is there for a reason - you’ll begin to see every event (no matter how difficult or challenging) as a chance for enrichment and advancement in your life.

As scary as change can be and as much as I might resist it, there's always some unkown gift that comes out of it. I really never thought you could begin again. You can.
