Quote

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.

Image
When we begin to see each other through what the metaphysician calls, the third eye, we begin to know each other on a level that is beyond what our physical eyes can see.

Actually, who are you not to be?
Marianne Williamson
Image
Love knows how to form itself. God will do his work if we do ours. Our job is to prepare ourselves for love. When we do, love finds us every time.

People don't live in Los Angeles because we are tied to the same old, same old. We live in Los Angeles because of the intoxicating energy of new beginnings that permeate our city.

Unless we can be like children, we can't be happy.

Part of forgiving people is releasing them from our own agendas.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Beyond drama and chaos, beyond anxiety and fear, lies a zone of endless peace and love. Let's all take a very deep breath, slow down for just a moment and remember this. That alone will open the door.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The way of the miracle-worker is to see all human behavior as one two things: either love, or a call for love.

On any given day, in any given moment, something could happen that opens up for you an entirely new path. Be still, be alert, be ready.
