Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

We must be trying to learn who we really are rather than trying to tell ourselves who we should be.

Try to discover your true, honest, untheoretical self.

Be really, really true to yourself. That to me, has been key to me in understanding how I want to live the second half of my life.

Getting the pretty back is about getting back in touch with your essential self: the part of you that knows what you really want.

If you knew who God made you to be, you'd never want to be anyone else.

There can be only one purpose for relationships-and for all of life: to be and to decide Who You Really Are.

The real rub is finding that authentic self and it's not something that's going to come to you overnight.

I wake up and play a different person every day. Playing all these different characters and trying to figure out who your true authentic self is at the core of that as you're playing all these different roles, and man, that self-awareness starts to come into effect. And you start to see who you really are.

What we must try to be, of course, is ourselves and wholeheartedly. We must find out what we really are and what we really want.

I wanted to become me, totally me. The more me, the better. I instinctively knew this and I was right.

Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority.

Often we're recreating what we think we're supposed to be as human beings. What we've been told we're supposed to be, instead of who we authentically are. The key about the creation of full self-expression is to be authentically who you are, to project that.

As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

Anyone who knows who God made them to be will never try to be someone else.

Let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

You cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn't try to be a tiger, and you shouldn't try to be something you aren't. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature. You still won't be perfect, but success isn't about perfection-it is about authenticity. You are a success if you are being your real, authentic self.

Life is not a matter of creating a special name for ourselves, but of uncovering the name we have always had.

I want to show my true self, not how I want to be seen by others.

If you re not speaking your own truth, you will never be able to be all you are meant to be. You cannot be pretending to be somebody else.

One must find the source within one's own Self, one must possess it. Everything else was seeking -- a detour, an error.

We are not strangers to ourselves, we only try to be.

Awareness is something that is very important. And you say that it looks impossible to become what we really are, to be authentic, to be ourselves again. But I will tell you that it is much more difficult to try to be what we are not.

Shake yourself free from the manikin you create out of a false interpretation of what you do and what you feel, and you'll at once see that the manikin you make yourself is nothing at all like what you really are or what you really can be!

I am never more myself than in my self-betrayals.
