Sadness is just a place on the map. Don't try to avoid it, resist it or escape through substances. Settle it, allow it, and it will go.

More quotes by Marianne Williamson
Relationships are part of a vast plan for our enlightenment, the Holy Spirit's blueprint by which each individual soul is led to greater awareness and expanded love. Relationships are the Holy Spirit's laboratories in which he brings together people who have the maximal opportunity for mutual growth.
Marianne Williamson
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
Marianne Williamson
We were born with a natural tendency to focus on love. Our imaginations were creative and flourishing, and we knew how to use them. We were connected to a richer world, a world full of enchantment and a sense of the miraculous. What happened?
Marianne Williamson
Problems come about when we try to direct the flow of the universe rather than allow it to reveal its own design. Inherent in that design is a love for all living things.
Marianne Williamson
Great spiritual teachings do not change, but we do. As we grow older and wiser, we can receive the teachings at deeper levels.
Marianne Williamson
Sobriety itself is today's high, for it is ultimately in the most centered consciousness that we find our power to transcend the world.
Marianne Williamson
Every relationship either gives energy to us or withholds energy from us, according to what we give to or withhold from it. And it's not only our behavior toward others, but our very thoughts about them, that builds and/ or destroys relationships.
Marianne Williamson
The way of the miracle-worker is to see all human behavior as one two things: either love, or a call for love.
Marianne Williamson
Silence is the Sabbath of the soul. Therein we rest, and therein we hear everything.
Marianne Williamson
I do believe 50 is the new 40 and 60 is the new 50. Hell, maybe 60 can be the new 40, I don't know. I believe that when we give ourselves permission, we can live with an excitement and heat and passion that most women in previous generations were unable to attain.
Marianne Williamson
Only what I'm not giving is what is lacking in any situation
Marianne Williamson
We were all born carrying a promise -- a promise to make the world better -- and there's a yearning to make good on that promise that none of us can suppress forever.
Marianne Williamson
The only real failure is the failure to grow from what we go through
Marianne Williamson
The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.
Marianne Williamson
Don't go to work to make money go to work to spread joy.
Marianne Williamson
When you understand spiritual law, then you realize that everything you give, good or bad, will in fact come back to you tenfold and that's just the way it is. You give someone flowers and the person you are ultimately giving to is yourself.
Marianne Williamson
If you know what makes one person's life change, then you know what makes a nation change - because a nation is simply a large group of individuals.
Marianne Williamson
In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., No lie will last forever. We have to work at removing lies from our own hearts. And on the national level, we do this not because we blame our country, but because we love it.
Marianne Williamson
From a pure metaphysical perspective, there is no world outside ourselves. So, at the deepest level, the state of the planet is more a reflection of the consciousness of mankind than the consciousness of mankind is a reflection of world events.
Marianne Williamson
Much like a GPS, love re-calibrates itself if you've made a wrong turn.
Marianne Williamson
