Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

It is in the knowledge of the genuine conditions of our lives that we must draw our strength to live and our reasons for living.

There is perfection in the process-and all life arises out of choice.

I still live, I still think: I still have to live, for I still have to think.

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

I think about how best to live my grandmother's twin mantras that 'Life is not a dress rehearsal' and 'Life is not about what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.'

I'm living proof that you can create your own life.

Human life-everybody lives it, but only to a few is it known.

Now look at me! Take a good look! I was born and I knew I was alive and I knew what I wanted. What do you think is alive in me? Why do you think I'm alive? Because I have a stomach and eat and digest the food? Because I breathe and work and produce more food to digest? Or because I know what I want, and that something which knows how to want—isn't that life itself? And who—in this damned universe—who can tell me why I should live for anything but for that which I want?

Remember, you are constantly in the act of creating yourself. You are in every moment deciding who and what you are. You decide this largely through the choices you make regarding who and what you feel passionate about.

Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.

The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.

If you just take it down to bare facts, the reason for living is the reason you make it. I mean the brain was made to create.

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be.

My life is a creative act--like a painting, or a concerto.

You are your own stories and therefore free to imagine and experience what it means to be human... And although you don't have complete control over the narrative - no author does, I can tell you - you could nevertheless create it.

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.

There is a Fountain of Youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.

We breathe, we think, we conceive of our lives as narratives.

Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.

Life is a great university for the unfolding of the mind, for developing character. In choosing our life work, when we are free to choose, we should remember this, and choose that which will call the biggest man or woman out of us and not that from which we can coin the most dollars.

The knowledge that we are responsible for living the life we have is our most powerful tool.

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.

In a lot of areas of my life, particularly in my teenage years, I began to think about the world, and to think about the universe as being a part of my conscious everyday life.

Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.

Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
