More quotes by Marianne Williamson
Each of us is born with an internal navigational system. The thinking of the world has a way of switching the system off, but we can always turn it on again through prayer, meditation and forgiveness. Doing this puts us back on track in our lives, making us wise, convicted and powerful.
Marianne Williamson
We aren't bodies at all who we are is the love inside us, and it is that love alone that determines our value. When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness.
Marianne Williamson
While overeating would be seen by some as an indulgence of self, it is in fact a profound rejection of self. It is a moment of self-betrayal and self-punishment, and anything but a commitment to one's own well-being.
Marianne Williamson
I want to be a cheerleader for women who have never even considered running for office or being involved in a campaign, but who in the quietness of their hearts might think, 'Why not me?'
Marianne Williamson
You must master a new way to think, before you can master a new way to be.
Marianne Williamson
There is a perverse comfort zone to living a small life. For women, that zone has to do with the fact that we're less likely to be challenged, we're less likely to be criticized, we're less likely to be called angry or strident, if we simply go along and acquiesce to the prevailing patterns of thought and behavior.
Marianne Williamson
A meaningful life is not a popularity contest. Do what in your heart you believe to be the right thing, and you may or may not get immediate approval from the world. Do it anyway.
Marianne Williamson
I feel that if your soul was branded by the sixties, you never lost the brand. It's like going into a nightclub and having your hand stamped so that you don't have to come back but you can come back.
Marianne Williamson
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. But whatever you focus on, you're going to get more of. Creation is an extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and you get more.
Marianne Williamson
The voices of fear are so loud today. The voices of love should never shout, but neither should they whisper - not at a time like this.
Marianne Williamson
Our hearts are being stretched to span the violence and the suffering in our lives and world, and at the same time we are also witness to so much magnificence and brilliance. We are a species that has produced nuclear weapons, and also one that has developed profound insight into the nature of life itself.
Marianne Williamson
Every aspect of life is pre-programmed to rise to its highest creative possibility. We don't have to make that happen, but we have to allow it to happen. And that itself is the struggle of life: resisting the resistant mind.
Marianne Williamson
In any moment, in any circumstance, a miracle will occur when we align ourselves with truth.
Marianne Williamson
The desire for transcendence is intimately connected with the desire for creativity. It is just as essential to who and what we are.
Marianne Williamson
Physical circumstances have very little to do with either our capacity to love or to attract love.
Marianne Williamson
If you are dealing with life from a low-level sensibility, the Internet can be a tool for manifesting that. But if you're dealing with life from the highest sensibility, it can also be your tool for manifesting that. The simple reason is that it doesn't cost money.
Marianne Williamson
There is simply too much unnecessary suffering in our world. And we should see that as a national security risk, by the way. Given enough time, desperate people will tend to do desperate things. At a certain point you won't be able to build enough prisons or enough bombs to eradicate the effects of all that violence inside so many hearts.
Marianne Williamson
We're all assigned a piece of the garden, a corner of the universe that is ours to transform.
Marianne Williamson
May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home.
Marianne Williamson
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
Marianne Williamson
