Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Between this day and the next you will give your life to something. The decision on what that will be will shape your destiny.

I realize now how much courage it takes to choose the life you want, whatever that might be.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

My dad said: Now Teddy, you have to make up your mind whether you want to have a constructive and positive attitude and influence on your time. And if you're not interested in a purposeful, useful, constructive life, I just want you to know I have other children that are out there that intend to have a purposeful and constructive life. And so you have to make up your mind about which direction you're going to go.

In life you can either follow your fears or be led by your values, by your passions.

Inner-life questions are the kind everyone asks, with or without benefit of God-talk: 'Does my life have meaning and purpose?' 'Do I have gifts that the world wants and needs?' 'Whom and what shall I serve?' 'Whom and what can I trust?' 'How can I rise above my fears?'

To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.

Ultimately it doesn't matter whether you go forwards or backwards: you need to live your life as well as you can.

It's always good to find out what you don't want to do.
