The first step is learning to monitor your thoughts; to think about what you are thinking about.
Neale Donald WalschNo effort is ever wasted, although some pay dividends later than you think. Do not imagine that you "wasted your time" because something didn't turn out right. There is no such thing as "waste" in the Universe. Everything - everything - yields benefit. It's true. And your life will show you this. So don't decry the "effort that failed." All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet.
Neale Donald WalschEverything is "acceptable" in the sight of God, for how can God not accept that which is? To reject a thing is to deny that it exists.
Neale Donald WalschIf you need to know in advance that everything will 'work out' before you jump in, you'll never jump into anything.
