Only what I'm not giving is what is lacking in any situation

Happiness is the choice I make today. It does not rest on my circumstances, but on my frame of mind...In cultivating the habits of happiness, I attract the people and situations that match its frequency. I smile more often, give praise more often, give thanks more often, and am glad more often. For such is my choice today.

The masculine DOES while the feminine IS. Major in the feminine, but minor in the masculine.

The reason we don't often confront the larger question of whether or not war is survivable is because of a failure of imagination. We honestly cannot imagine having reached a state in our own evolution in which we do not fight.

Motherly love - putting the care of children before every other consideration - is the ultimate intelligence of nature.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I think daily life is where the lessons come in - that's where the tests and the growth come in.
Marianne Williamson

Forgiveness is the choice to see people as they are now. When we're mad at people, we're angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Gender or skin color does not of itself determine the nature of a person's thinking.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Yes, hardships come. But I see in my life and in the lives of others how often something that does not have to be held as a hardship is dealt with by the mind as though it is.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Some things need to be let go before other things can be let in.
Marianne Williamson
Image
In his farewell address, George Washington warned the people about political parties. Now we see how both Democrats and Republicans have conspired to reduce democratic participation. If this is the best the Democrats and Republicans have to offer, it's time to look elsewhere.Politics should be the prism for our most noble intentions.

My biggest sorrow, when looking back on my youth, is how much of it I somehow missed. Now, looking at my life today, I don't want to make the same mistake. I don't want to miss this. As Bonnie Raitt sang like she was singing it for all of us, Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.

Our most meaningful conversations go on late at night when we're on the phone with our friends or talking to our lovers.
