Why? Because art is God's way of saying hello. So pay attention to poetry. Pay attention to music. Pay attention to paintings and sculptures and photo exhibits and ballets and plays. Don't let all this go unnoticed. Your world is shouting out to you, revealing something intrinsically glorious about itself. Listen carefully. Love art, the way art loves Life. Neale Donald Walsch

You've been waiting for a shift in energy, and that shift has occurred. All you have to do now is get ready to receive your new-found good. Be on the lookout. It may come at a time and in a way that you could not have anticipated or imagined. Neale Donald Walsch

You are never alone, or without help or guidance, counsel or advice. You need but purely and earnestly ask a question and God will answer you, directly and immediately. The answer may come in an unexpected form, but it will come.Your only job then will be to not ignore it; to see it for what it is. For all you know these very words may be an answer to your question about whether God is even listening to you or offering you guidance. Neale Donald Walsch

No, really. You need to read more. There's a book right now waiting to be read by you. Do you think this book has come into your awareness by accident? It has been placed before you by your Consciousness. Go get it. Read it. Make margin notes. Do it now. Sometimes Life jumps out at you with its message, fairly screaming at you: get this. This is one of those times. I'm telling you, there's a book you've been scheduled to read right now. Don't ignore the schedule. It's Divine Intervention. Neale Donald Walsch

John W. Scoville said that, and he was right. Do not let a Just Cause go unassisted by you. Do what you can. Never think that what you can do is not enough. Every little bit helps. To do nothing is what hurts. You know exactly why you received this message today. So what are you waiting for? Jump in. Dig in. Pitch in. Do it now. No, no, really...now. Neale Donald Walsch

Anthony Robbins said that, and he was right. Commitment is the key to achievement. How committed are you to your future, to your goals, to your relationship, to your self? Do you want to be healthier, or do you just say you do? Do you want to be happier, or do you just say you do? Do you want to be nicer, or do you just say you do? Do you want to be more patient, or do you just say you do? Do you want to be lighter, or do you just say you do? What do you really want...and who are you kidding about that? Neale Donald Walsch

Never, ever trade your own experience for someone else's words about anything that is really important. Like God, for instance. Or love. Or what is true about another. This is a simple awareness, but it comes to you today at exactly the right time. If you think about why, you will know. Neale Donald Walsch

Erich Segal said that and he was right. God loves you, and that is why you never have to say you're "sorry" to God. If you love someone, relieve them of the need to apologize to you for anything. The need for an apology is the signal of a person who is mistaken about him-or-herself. You cannot be damaged by another, you only imagine that you can. It is all in your head. It is all in your thought about it. Go back to love and give up your need to forgive others for anything. Neale Donald Walsch

There is no such thing as "change for the worse." Change is the process of Life Itself, and that process could be called by the name "evolution." And evolution moves in only one direction: forward, and toward improvement. Therefore, when change visits your life, you can be sure things are turning for the better. It may not look that way in the very moment change arrives, but if you will wait a while and have faith in the process, you will see that this is true. Neale Donald Walsch

If you are excited about forming a relationship based on what it looks like you can get, rather than what you can give, you have started off on the wrong foot entirely, and you could be heading for a big disappointment. The purpose of all relationships is to create a sacred context within which you can express the fulness of who you are. And who you are is an experience you have before you enter relationship, not because you did. Neale Donald Walsch

Thomas Jefferson made that observation and he was right. Seek, therefore, power with, not power over. This includes people in the world, people in your home, and whoever else may be in your bed... The best way to experience power (or anything) is to give it away. Make someone else powerful and you become twice as powerful as you were before. Make someone else loved and you become twice as loved. Make someone else feel good and you feel twice as good. It doesn't get any better than this. And it's all so...simple. Neale Donald Walsch

Some people take better care of their car than they do of their body. Most people, in fact, pay little attention to their body until something goes wrong. Yet why create that kind of situation? Look at what you are eating. How much and how often do you exercise? When was your last check-up? Are you treating your physical vehicle as if it is Divine? Good for you if you are. If you aren't...why not? Neale Donald Walsch

What's the worst that can happen? And if that happened, what would happen then? And if that happened, then what? Now...if you give in to your fears, where will that leave you? Right where you are now? And if that's where you want to be, why is the other option even a little bit exciting to you? Neale Donald Walsch

The soul's emphasis is always right. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, and he was correct. The mind is the last part of yourself to listen to. It thinks of everything you can lose. The heart thinks of everything you can give, and the soul thinks of everything you are. I will leave it up to you to decide which of those three is the most important... Neale Donald Walsch

How much patience do you have with Life? Are you willing to overcome minor obstacles as you move through your day? Or does anything and everything that does not move in accordance with your wishes cause you annoyance--if not outright frustration? Consider the possibility that the little obstacles in life are not obstacles at all, but stepping stones. Look to see what they offer you in terms of growth, and you'll see their treasure. Neale Donald Walsch
