Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Life deceives everyone except the individual who doesn't contemplate it, the individual who demands nothing from it, the individual who serenely accepts its few gifts and serenely makes the most of them.

Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

To remember non-attachment is to remember what freedom is all about. If we get attached, even to a beautiful state of being, we are caught, and ultimately we will suffer. We work to observe anything that comes our way, experience it while it is here, and be able to let go of it.

I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.

Be content to be what you are, and prefer nothing to it, and do not fear or wish for your last day.

Happiness requires that we give up a worldly orientation-not worldly things, but a worldly attachment to things. We have to surrender all outcomes. We have to live here but appreciate the joke.

When we put down ideas of what life should be like, we are free to wholeheartedly say yes to our life as it is.

Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life.

No matter how many times I tell you this, you're still thinking, thinking, judging, judging, coming to conclusions, trying to work out your life. You have to let go. Totally, absolutely, completely. You have to let go so completely that you will feel no body, no mind, no pain, nothing.

You don't give up the intention, and you don't give up the desire. You give up your attachment to the results.

I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free. inscription on Kazantakis's tomb in Heraklion, Greece

If you have to have it, it's ego. If you have to not have it, it's ego. Hold life lightly and it will deliver what you need and release what you don't.

When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.

Don't demand or expect that events happen as you would wish them do. Accept events as they actually happen. That way, peace is possible.

To live your life without expectation-without the need for specific results-that is freedom. That is Godliness.

Happiness or sorrow- whatever befalls you, walk on untouched, unattached.

In my life nothing goes wrong. When things seem to not meet my expectations, I let go of how I think things should be. It's a matter of not having any attachment to any fixed outcome.

I know now: I do not hope for anything. I do not fear anything, I have freed myself from both the mind and the heart, I have mounted much higher, I am free .

Wishes and fears are illusions, Dil Bahadur, not realities. You must practice detachment.

Until you can let go of everything, you will find it hard to hold onto anything.

Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled.

Enjoy everything that happens in your life, but never make your happiness or success dependent on an attachment to any person, place, or thing.

What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?

You're not living until it doesn't matter a tinker's damn to you whether you live or die. At that point you live. When you're ready to lose your life, you live it.
