We think we need to create ourselves, always doing a paste-up job on our personalities. That is because we're trying to be special rather than real. We're pathetically trying to conform with all the other people trying to do the same.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We experience who we really are, and what it is we are meant to do, in any moment when we pour our love into the universe.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The purpose of daily prayer is the cultivation of a sense of the sacred. Sacred energy renews us.

A level of anxiety and tension and outright fear that so many people have felt, not only during the recession but during this slow economic recovery since. This made me very much want to up the conversation about how miracle-minded thinking applies to that area of life.

The point of Jesus' existence wasn't to lessen or diminish our appreciation of each other, but to expand our appreciation of each other by reminding us what lies within all of us, because Jesus was an example of the pinnacle of human evolution.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Maturity includes the recognition that no one is going to see anything in us that we don't see in ourselves. Stop waiting for a producer. Produce yourself.
Marianne Williamson
Image
To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You don't want to try to protect yourself from the pain of a crisis. You want to learn everything you can from it.

Gender or skin color does not of itself determine the nature of a person's thinking.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The masculine DOES while the feminine IS. Major in the feminine, but minor in the masculine.

Image
The miracle often lies outside our comfort zone.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The work of intimacy, of course, is to learn to both show your own illumination, and to see it in a way that the physical eyes cannot reveal. In a way that only the heart can reveal: the illumined beauty in another person.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet.
