Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Do not allow negative feelings and emotions to control your mind. Emotional harm does not come from others; it is conceived and developed within ourselves.

Many people don't know about the power of good feelings, and so their feelings are reactions or responses to what happens to them. They have put their feelings on automatic pilot, instead of deliberately taking charge of them.

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

No one can make you feel anything you don't already feel.

Anger can be a good thing. It's a mechanism that your brain uses to get you out of situations that are bad for you. But in terms of leading a peaceful life, it is not very productive.

The problem is not what other people think, do or say; it is your reaction.

At the end of the day, the key to happiness is taking ultimate responsibility for your reactions to all of your experiences - the good and the chaotic.

No one makes you feel anything. It is how you react and respond that determines your emotions.

Behaviors are a choice. Feelings are sometimes out of our control. Behavior has to do with choices.

We cannot control what emotions or circumstances we will experience next, but we can choose how we will respond to them.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

I don't want to be the angry guy.

Learn to take responsibility for emotions, and to manage energies, always working within present resources.

Negative emotions will challenge your grit every step of the way. While it's impossible not to feel your emotions, it's completely under your power to manage them effectively and to keep yourself in a position of control. When you let your emotions overtake your ability to think clearly, it's easy to lose your resolve.

I am never angry, although sometimes distressed.

No one can drive us crazy unless we give them the keys.

You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.

You can't be responsible for the way people respond to you. You're only responsible for yourself.

If someone you know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn't mean you have to allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else's bad decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery?

I tend to not wallow too much in sentiment if I can avoid it.

You're the only one that's in control of your emotions; you're the only one that's inside of you at all times. So control you however you want to. If you're not happy, that's your fault.

Often, we feel helpless in lots of situations in our lives. The way anger gets a grip on us is it seems to be a way to extricate ourselves from helplessness.
