John Updike said that, and he was right. He understood that nothing stops the forward march of any creative endeavor like the need to do it absolutely perfectly. And who is to judge what is 'perfect' anyway? What I have judged full of flaws so many others have called terrific. Maybe the definition of Perfection is something that actually gets done. Neale Donald Walsch

Do not argue with life, or with anyone in life. Life presents itself perfectly in every moment, and every person believes his or her point of view to be valid and 'right.' Arguing with any of this is pointless, and a terrific waste of energy. Simply create what you choose next. Neale Donald Walsch

Only your thought about it is permanent. Change your mind about what has disappointed you and you will change your life. All disappointment is just Advantage, looked at from the other side. You will not have to think but a second to know exactly why you received this message today. Neale Donald Walsch

Nothing. There is a benefit and a blessing hidden in the folds of every experience and every outcome. That includes every and any 'bad' thing that may be happening to you right now. Change your perspective. Know that nothing happens ever that is not for your highest good. All that needs to change for you to see this...is your definition of 'Highest Good.' Neale Donald Walsch

Here is the formula: You can live a charmed life by causing others to live a charmed life. That is, be the source of 'charm' -- of charming moments and experiences -- in the life of another. Be everyone else's Lucky Charm! Make all who you touch today feel 'lucky' that you crossed their path. Do this for a week and watch things change. Do it for a month and you'll be a different person. Neale Donald Walsch

A few weeks from now you will not even be facing this problem. A few months from now, you will have forgotten you ever had it. A few years from now, you will wonder why you let yourself worry so much. I'm not trying to make light of it here. I just want to put it in perspective. Okay? Trust God here. Trust life. And breathe. Neale Donald Walsch

Even if you were to die right now, there would be no need to be afraid. This life, this wonderful life, is on your side. This universe, this wonderful universe, is in your corner, supporting all of life. This God, this wonderful God, places Divine wisdom and power in your hands. Trust that. Use it. And let it give you strength. Right now. This day. Neale Donald Walsch

You have asked for someone to love you right now, and God has answered your prayer. Look. Listen. That loving person is right in your world. Open the door for them to come in. I promise you, I'm not making this up. Someone is loving you right now. Look. Listen. Let it in. There, I've said it twice. God wanted me to make sure you really got it. Neale Donald Walsch

World famous motivational speaker Zig Ziglar said that, and he was profoundly right. How you shape your attitude is not a small part of how you shape your life...it is the only part. Does it sound as if I'm saying that attitude is everything? Good. Because I am. Neale Donald Walsch

Tell others that, for you, it is about the connection of souls. It is the true union of two beings. It is about walking through all moments, both good and bad, and never leaving the other's side. You are intimate when you are fully with another, no matter what. In fact, this has very little to do with that which is physical. Neale Donald Walsch

Do not wonder why things are "taking so long." In fact, everything is rolling out exactly as it needs to, using not a minute more than Perfection requires. Rest easy and be at peace. Life is working its magic even as you take your very next breath. There. See? You could almost feel the Perfection, couldn't you? Neale Donald Walsch

When we fall ill there are some who will say, "Why did you create that for yourself?" They might convince you to see it as a sign of spiritual weakness or failure. It is not. It is a sign of spiritual strength. All challenges are a sign of spiritual strength, and of the readiness of the Soul to move on; to evolve even further. Neale Donald Walsch

If you're going to do something, do it with gusto. Don't do anything half-heartedly. That dishonors the doing and the doer. So go for it. Hold nothing back. In life. Or love. Or anything at all. You will not have to think but a second to know exactly why you received this message today. Trust that your inner goodness will rule this moment... Neale Donald Walsch

I know that you know what a good person you are. Yes, we all make mistakes, but when everything is said and done, you are a genuinely good person...and you know it. So here's what you should be told: God knows it, too. Trust that your inner goodness will rule this moment... Neale Donald Walsch

It's how good you know they can look with God's help that counts. Life has a habit of changing itself completely around in 24 hours. Heck, in 24 minutes sometimes. Don't you dare give up on Tomorrow because of the way things look Today. Don't even think about it... Neale Donald Walsch
