Quote

Women are still in emotional bondage as long as we need to worry that we might have to make a choice between being heard and being loved.

Liberation also means that even though I'm a woman I have masculine parts of my temperament which I can safely explore and integrate into my experience.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Forgiveness is the ultimate preventive medicine, as well as the greatest healer.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won't feel insecure around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is a lot to look at when you are serious about transformation. You look at everything you've ever done, every circumstance you've ever been in, cleaning up everything in your past. Reconciling, forgiving others, forgiving yourself. It's a lot of work, actually.
Marianne Williamson
Image
A relationship is more of an assignment than a choice. We can walk away from the assignment, but we cannot walk away from the lessons it presents. We stay with a relationship until a lesson is learned, or we simply learn it another way.

Image
Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.

Image
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You can't remove that layer of pain by just saying, Okay, I'm not going to wallow in it. The only way to remove that layer of pain is to face what it says and to recognize it as the look in the mirror that it is, reflecting the things you did that you wish you hadn't done and the things you didn't do that you wish you had done.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
The Light in you is the unalterable truth of who you are. You can deny it and obscure it, but you cannot uncreate it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player...The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We don't reach the light through endless analysis of the dark. We reach the light by choosing the light.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You don't need a new life, just a new lens through which to view the one you have.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The biggest problem is our lack of response-ability. That’s what happens when money rather than love is the bottom line. People act like idiots.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Living in this world, under the dominance of the ego mind, is difficult. That's the struggle.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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.

I don't think pain is a prerequisite for growth, but on the other hand, most of us choose very painful ways to learn.

Image
Where there is lack, God’s abundance is on the way. Hold on. Have faith. It’s coming.

Life is a constant back-and-forth. We take a breath in and then we breathe out. The same is true for the culture as a whole.
