There is an old cliche, 'You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full.' You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right.

Marianne Williamson
Image
In our natural state, we are glorious beings. In the world of illusion, we are lost and imprisoned, slaves to our appetites and our will to false power.
Marianne Williamson
Image
For every person who might reject you if you live your truth, there are ten others who will embrace you and welcome you home.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Faith doesn't mean you don't have to do the work it just means you're absolutely certain the work will pay off.

Image
Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.
Marianne Williamson
Image
For a society as abundant and as blessed as ours, to have as many disadvantaged children as we have does not bode well for our long-term economic future.
