Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Mindfulness has helped me succeed in almost every dimension of my life. By stopping regularly to look inward and become aware of my mental state, I stay connected to the source of my actions and thoughts and can guide them with considerably more intention.

Everything that I decide to do means something, otherwise I don't do them.

And so I tell you this: be now and forever centered upon your Self. Look to see what you are being, doing, and having in any given moment, not what's going on with another.

By taking responsibility for how you choose to respond to anything or anyone, you're aligning yourself with the beautiful dance of life.

The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

No one can occupy your generosity except you. Who can occupy your patience when impatience roars through you? Who except you can choose not to act with judgment when all of your thoughts are judgmental? Your life is yours to live, no matter how you choose to live it. When you do not think about how you intend to live it, it lives you.

We only have problems we really want to have.

You are where you are today because you have chosen to be there.

Daily, constantly, we choose by our desires, our thoughts, and our actions whether we want to be blessed or cursed, happy or miserable.

We are exactly where we have chosen to be.

Your one certainty in life, your power as a human being, is that you have a choice in every situation about what you do next and about how you take what has happened to you.

We can't determine our emotions, but we can choose our attitudes and actions.

Whether you are happy or miserable is completely a choice.

Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do.

My behavior is a product of my own conscious choices based on principles, rather than a product of my conditions, based on feelings.

Govern thy Life and Thoughts, as if the whole World were to see the one, and read the other.

We must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do as much as we can. Then, whatever happens we will have no regrets.

To end the misery that has afflicted the human condition for thousands of years, you have to start with yourself and take responsibility for you inner state at any given moment. That means now

You are responsible for what you give your attention to.

I think that we have to consciously be aware that every moment we're in, every different stage in our lives, we can control.

For once you rise to a level of God consciousness you will understand that you are not responsible for any other human soul, and that while it is commendable to wish every soul to live in comfort, each soul must choose - is choosing - its own destiny this instant.

A life lived of choice is a life of conscious action. A life lived of chance is a life of unconscious creation.

The man who can articulate the movements of his inner life need no longer be a victim of himself, but is able slowly and consistently to remove the obstacles that prevent the spirit from entering.
