Nothing Has To Happen Immediately

Quote 2015-10-242015-10-24 Miss Poison Quotes -Neale Donald Walsch, Direction, Life, Quotes

Nothing has to happen immediately, this minute, or right now. It's okay to pause for just a moment. Just take a breath. Then go quietly inside. Ask Life Itself to lead you to your best outcome. There's nothing you have to do, really, except get out of your own way. —Neale Donald Walsch
