Life will not, it will never, make sense to your mind. The secret is to see life from the soul's perspective; to add to the mind's experience the soul's wisdom, awareness, and total knowing.
Interpretation
Life cannot be fully understood by the mind alone; the soul's perspective is essential for deeper understanding.
This quote by Neale Donald Walsch emphasizes that intellectual reasoning is insufficient to grasp the complexities of life. It encourages individuals to connect with their deeper selves—their soul—gaining wisdom and awareness that transcends mere cognitive understanding, thus leading to a more holistic experience of existence.
In practice
During a motivational seminar discussing personal growth.
What you hope, you will eventually believe. _x000D_ What you believe you will eventually know. What you know, you will eventually create. What you create, _x000D_ you will eventually experience.

When you find peace within, you also find that you can do without. This means simply that you no longer need the things of your outside world, and not needing is a great freedom.
Giving up is not the answer. Neither is giving in. Stand your ground. There is a way of doing that without having to be combative. There is a way of hanging on to your true self, and demonstrating it, without resorting to aggression. But giving up and giving in is not the way. Simply and quietly claiming your right to be You is the way.
