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.

Whether we love, or close our hearts to love, is a mental choice we make, every moment of every day.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
You have to make a space in your heart, in your mind and in your life itself for authentic human connection.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If you allow your perceptions to be dominated by a status-quo perspective these thought forms create a network of status-quo mental habit patterns.

Obviously, I don't want to minimize the patriarchal nature of our media, our government and our culture as a whole. But I think it's our refusal as women to own our power that is our biggest problem, both individually and collectively. The linchpin that holds the current system in place is the slumber of women.

The world loves us when we choose to love the world.

Image
Our deepest need is to be seen.

Image
Whatever situation you're in: Send love, place it in God's hands, open your heart to everyone involved - and it will turn out miraculously.
Marianne Williamson

What you do comes from what you think.
Marianne Williamson
Image
When we are centered in joy, we attain our wisdom.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Each time we consider a miracle impossible, or assume that we ourselves are not capable of working it, then we're choosing not to take flight.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I write and speak about personal and spiritual growth. One week I write about illness and another week I speak about relationships and another week I write about work and money and another week I speak to people with obesity issues. I write about whatever wounds seem to cry out for more enlightened solutions, and the love that heals them all.
Marianne Williamson
Image
[God is] an all-encompassing love that is the source of all, the reality of all, and the being through which I am.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
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.

For what we engage, we transform. And what we engage with our hearts is transformed forever.
