It is inside of you. It is you. Let your light so shine upon the world that the world will know Who You Really Are -- and its people will know why they really are as well, through the light of your example. The darkness of our world awaits you -- not to engulf you, but to be transformed by you. During this Season of the Light, be its

Funny how things work. Sometimes the smallest choice, one that you might make within these 24 hours, can set into motion huge energies bringing you great good and enormous joy. Watch the day, then, and watch how you move through it. You may not know when you are setting those energies into motion. But you are. With everything, actually, that you think, say, and do. So go out and make it a great day! Neale Donald Walsch

It was John Quinton who observed that politicians do that. Maybe you've caught yourself doing it, too. Just when things look like they're getting better, you start seeing more things that "aren't right," or "could go wrong." The Universe is essentially a friendly place. So friendly, in fact, that it will give you exactly what you expect it to. Isn't that wonderful? Of course, it depends on what you expect... Neale Donald Walsch

Not just humanity's future, but your own, personally. Things have shifted. The energy has been altered. You can feel it if you deeply tune in. This shift is not your imagination, nor is it merely on a national or global level. There is a shift in you. Feel it today, and use it to propel you to a wonderful tomorrow. In fact, do better than feel the energy. BE the energy. Be its

You are invited by life to elect yourself a Spiritual Leader, and to take office today. What does a spiritual leader say? A spiritual leader does not say, "Follow me." A spiritual leader says, "I'll go first." Decide today to take the oath: I promise to "go first" in demonstrating forgiveness, compassion, understanding, generosity, kindness, cheerfulness, positivity, and love. Neale Donald Walsch

A different tomorrow awaits. Nothing is going to be the way it was before. Not your finances, not your politics, not your work life, not your relationships, not the way you experience your spirituality -- all of it is changing...and is going to continue to change. The only question remaining: Will you be part author of those continuing changes, or merely one who is impacted by them? Neale Donald Walsch

You have permission to abandon it. Replace it with self love and love of all others--and love of the imperfections you imagine you see in both. In truth, both are perfect in their 'imperfection,' for 'imperfection' merely means 'incompletion.' So do not be embarrassed if you haven't completed graduate school yet. Rather, look forward to the adventure of doing it. Neale Donald Walsch

Hard to believe, isn't it, that you are that special in the eyes of God? Yet you are--and not because of what you have done, but because of who you are. You are God's own creation, an expression of Divinity in human form. The fastest way to experience this is to be the vehicle through which others see it in themselves. Each person is walking his or her path and doing his or her best. God knows this and that is why God loves you all. Neale Donald Walsch

Hurt does not heal hurt. Violence will not bring an end to violence. Help the world to understand this by reacting differently, responding newly, when anger and a need to hurt you is sent your way. You will have such an opportunity in your life. And probably, more than once. Do not miss the chance to humbly send a message of love. Neale Donald Walsch

Seek to speak purely from your heart. When you have made a mistake, erred as all humans do, admit it, feel your regret as your inner truth, share it with those who matter in the incident, and ask forgiveness. But do not require it in order to move on in peace. Another person's forgiveness is not what is needed. Only your own. If the distress you caused was unintentional, say you are sorry, then hold in a place of love for those who will not forgive you. It may be a larger hurt they are healing. Neale Donald Walsch

Seneca said that, and it is true. You have to know where you are going in order to get there. This may seem simplistic, but many people have no idea where they are going in life--much less where they are headed on the Journey of the Soul. Yet these are things that have to be decided, not discovered. Too many people are waiting to discover what they should decide; to chance upon what they should be choosing. Are you one of them? Neale Donald Walsch

Whether it's the endless wars in the world or the unending quarrels and fighting in your own home, the problem is the same : conflicting energy. If you want to change the outcome, change the energy. The extraordinary aspect of this solution is that you do not have to wait for the other party in order to do it. Neale Donald Walsch

Horace said that, and he was right. During any time of adversity, your genius will be revealed--as will that of all humankind. We will find that there is another way to live other than 'dog eat dog,' and another worthy goal other than 'bigger, better, more.' See this time, then, as a challenge to your ingenuity and an invitation from life to rediscover what is truly important: love, family, friends, and... the journey of the soul. Neale Donald Walsch

Kahlil Gibran said that, and he was right. Listen, therefore, to your heart. Cultivate the ability to do this. Practice it. Produce it. Perfect it. It is not that difficult. Just be quiet with yourself. And for heaven's sake, stop listening to your mind. You will not find the truth there. You may find the answer, but it will not be the truth unless it coincides with the answer in your heart. You think there is more to know about life than this, but there is not. Your heart holds the key. Your heart holds the wisdom. Your heart holds the future. Your mind knows nothing but the past. It imagines the future will be just like yesterday, so it makes it decisions based on that. Only your heart can see beyond memory's horizon. Neale Donald Walsch

No matter what you are looking at, you can find something wrong with it, something imperfect, something that is not okay with you. Don't worry, if you look hard enough you'll find it. There is also something 'right' with everything. No matter what you are looking at, you can find something right with it, something perfect. There remains, then, only one question: What are you going to look at? What are you choosing to notice? What is your perspective? (I'll bet you already know what God's perspective is...) Neale Donald Walsch
