Quote

What if we truly believed that there is a beneficent order to things, a force that's holding things together without our conscious control? What if we could see, in our daily lives, the working of that force? What if we believed it loved us somehow and cared for us, and protected us? What if we believed we could afford to relax?

Even though modern life in many ways is nothing short of exhausting, we need to take responsibility for what is necessary to combat the stress and exhaustion of modern life.
Marianne Williamson
Image
No one is longing to meet a desperate needy, angry, withholding, controlling person. If your beloved is out there they can't pick up your signals if you're dwelling in those spaces within yourself.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We love purely when we release other people to be who they are.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Fear is trusting in your own power.

The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best which is within us.

What the ego doesn't want us to see is that our pain doesn't come from the love we weren't given in the past, but from the love we ourselves aren't giving in the present.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The miracle-minded perception would be to make happiness itself our goal and to relinquish the thought that we know what that would look like.
Marianne Williamson

Nothing is so dangerous for our security as large groups of desperate people.

Image
You can know everything that the books have to say, but ultimately it boils down to whether we do the inner work of devotion and surrender, whether we can put aside our own agendas and allow the spirit to move through us.

There are other kinds of emotional pain that emerge from our own mistaken thinking. As we surrender that pain, we are inviting into our thought system a guide who will lead us to different thoughts. It’s like the song “Amazing Grace”: I was blind and now I see.

The word politics comes from the Greek politeia which had to do with the citizenry, not the government.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I believe we are shown the path that is right as soon as we ask for it. Then we must live in the world and in some way express what we have learned.

Romance is one of the sacred temples that dot the landscape of life.

You've committed no sins, just mistakes.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We experience who we really are, and what it is we are meant to do, in any moment when we pour our love into the universe.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I'm certainly not saying anything new, and I'm not even saying anything all that different from what everyone else I know is saying right now - I'm saying what millions of people are saying. I'm just saying it publicly.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Beauty is an internal light, a spiritual radiance that all women have, but most women hide - unconsciously denying its existence. What we do not claim, remains invisible.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet.

The miracle often lies outside our comfort zone.

Behind every fear, there is a miracle waiting.
