Whatever it is that calls us, that's our path. And as we walk that path, we have a chance to shine forth who we are. It affects other people around us.

It took time to learn that the hard thing about writing is to let the story write itself, while one sits at the typewriter and does as little thinking as possible. It happened over and over again, and the beginner learned - when you start puzzling over an idea, and slowing down on the keys, the writing gets worse and worse.
Richard Bach

That’s what learning is, after all not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.
Richard Bach
Image
If you're always looking at someone else, trying to imitate them, how can your natural gifts ever emerge?
Richard Bach
Image
Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.

Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word?
Richard Bach
Image
Character comes from following our highest sense of right, from trusting ideas without being sure they’ll work.
Richard Bach

Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Richard Bach
Image
We design our lives through the power of our choices. We feel most helpless when we've made choices by default, when we haven't designed our lives on our own.
Richard Bach
Image
Know that ever about you stands the reality of love, and each moment you have the power to transform your world by what you have learned.
Richard Bach
Image
Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
Richard Bach
Image
Your life is a treasure and you are so much more than you know.
Richard Bach
Image
What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach
Image
The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid.We fear we will not find love,and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we don't have love we will be unhappy.
Richard Bach
Image
It doesn’t take time to change once you understand the problem...Somebody hands you a rattlesnake, it doesn’t take long to drop it, does it?
Richard Bach
Image
Just be who you are, calm and clear and bright. Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute is this what I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn, as well.
Richard Bach
Image
Flyers fell a certain kinship with the sight of the earth unencrusted by humanity, they want to see it that way in one sweeping view, in reassurance that nature still exists on her own, without a chain-link fence to hold her.
Richard Bach
Image
You don't love hatred and evil, of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love.
Richard Bach
Image
No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it.
Richard Bach
Image
Fear not, nor be dismayed at the appearance that is darkness, at the disguise that is evil, at the empty cloak that is death, for you have picked these for your challenges. They are stones on which you choose to whet the keen edge of your spirit.
Richard Bach
Image
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
