Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.

Neither blame or praise yourself.

Learning to love yourself is not going to happen overnight - the first step is trying to be kinder and more patient with yourself, and I understand that it takes time.

Love yourself. KNOW thyself. And be mindful of your thoughts.

I love myself for all my mistakes and missteps. They have been very valuable to me. They have taught me many things. It is the way I learn. I am willing to stop punishing myself for my mistakes.

I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the very best way I know how.

I've learned to take things a little more easily, to be a little more forgiving of myself.

Through a long and painful process, I've learned that happiness is an inside job - not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I've become a different and better person - not perfect, but still a work in progress.

I'm hard on myself, so I'm working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses.

I've always very earnestly tried to do my best, so I just have to trust that and forgive myself for being fallible.

Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

I've learned that the perfect picture that I hold in my mind of what my life looks like is constantly changing, growing, evolving. I remind myself that I am exactly where I need to be in my life; otherwise, I would surely be somewhere else.

We are becoming able to see the pursuit of external power for what it is and the futility of trying to escape the pain of powerlessness by changing the world. When we look inward, not outward, we can dismantle the parts of our personalities that have controlled us for so long - such as anger, jealousy, vindictiveness, superiority, inferiority.

It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.

If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, quieter, warmer.

Resolve to be thyself: and know that he who finds himself, loses his misery.

Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.

Awareness is empowering.

For me, it really is about the self-acceptance... the more time that I spend really accepting and allowing myself to be exactly where I am, the faster it is I move towards what I wanna be doing.

Work hard on yourself; don't be hard on yourself.

I was constantly looking for things outside of myself to make me feel good, and I think now that feeling can come from the inside, and that's why I meditate now twice a day.

I believe God wants you to know that you can remain in your present idea about yourself, or you can choose again. I like the idea of choosing again. Glorify who you are today, do not condemn who you were yesterday, and dream of who you can be tomorrow.

Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage. How are we to be patient in dealing with our neighbour's faults if we are impatient in dealing with our own? He who is fretted by his own failings will not correct them. All profitable correction comes from a calm and peaceful mind.

Never let us be discouraged with ourselves. It is not when we are conscious of our faults that we are the most wicked; on the contrary, we are less so. We see by a brighter light; and let us remember for our consolation, that we never perceive our sins till we begin to cure them.

If you are not at peace with yourself then you cannot spread peace.
