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
Image
The power to rethink a situation is our greatest tool for transforming the world. This notion is taking hold in medicine, in business, in education. But not in politics and the media. They are the last holdouts of old-paradigm thinking.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is simply too much unnecessary suffering in our world. And we should see that as a national security risk, by the way. Given enough time, desperate people will tend to do desperate things. At a certain point you won't be able to build enough prisons or enough bombs to eradicate the effects of all that violence inside so many hearts.
Marianne Williamson
Image
In asking for miracles, we are seeking a practical goal: a return to inner peace. We’re not asking for something outside us to change, but for something inside us to change. We’re looking for a softer orientation to life.

Image
Relationships never end, because they're of the mind only bodies can separate. When you're missing someone, know it just means that on a soul level they've come to visit.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Gandhi said the end is inherent in the means, which means you cannot create any more peace than you yourself have attained. An angry generation will not bring peace.
Marianne Williamson

Our barriers to love are rarely consciously chosen. They are our efforts to protect the places where the heart is bruised.

Kennedy's assassination was the opening salvo in the social revolution of the sixties. In some ways, perhaps, Princess Diana and Mother Teresa dying when they did, and how they did, represent the opening salvos of a social revolution in the nineties.

Image
Often we see a couple who has separated or divorced and look with sadness at the ‘failure’ of their relationship. But if both people learned what they were meant to learn, then that relationship was a success.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Obviously, our political system is profoundly corrupted by, among other things, the influence of money. But, at a deeper level, the current structure is flawed because it looks to citizens for only two things - votes and money. I don't think we will see any healing until citizens are viewed in a whole new way.
Marianne Williamson
Image
So it is that a new politics centers around the arousal of that power, using prayer and meditation to create a force field of transformation.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The key to intimacy is the commitment to honesty and to the radical forgiveness necessary in order for honesty to be safe.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Every heart has a divine intelligence and natural guidance system. With every prayer, every meditation and every thought of love, we tune in to ours.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The world won't step into its greatness until we step into ours.
Marianne Williamson
Image
People crave comfort, people crave connection, people crave community.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We're often afraid of looking at our shadow because we want to avoid the shame or embarrassment that comes along with admitting mistakes.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Once you get to your forties or fifties in this society, very few people haven't had at least one body blow - financial, bankruptcy, divorce, relationship disaster, addiction, trouble with a child, trouble with a parent. Most people take some blow.
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.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Sobriety itself is today's high, for it is ultimately in the most centered consciousness that we find our power to transcend the world.

There is nothing spiritual about complacency.
