Quote

In every moment we make a decision -- whether conscious or unconscious. Will I choose to open my heart, send love, withhold judgment and thus free myself from fear? Or will I close my heart, project fear instead of extending love, judge others, and thus bind myself to fear? The choice is mine and mine alone.

By bringing the past into the present, we create a future just like the past. By letting the past go, we make room for miracles.

Love is a hero’s journey, and the hero’s journey is a noble but difficult path.

There is within each of us the possibility of magnificence. Every moment is an opportunity to make it manifest. Let the spirit awaken you to a miraculous life.

Sometimes, when I talk to someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer or some other illness, I'll remind them: If you were honest with yourself, you were depressed before this happened. And if this were over you would be happy for a couple of weeks, a couple of months, and then something else would come along.

All manifestation of fear is a reflection of the fact that humanity has forgotten its spiritual identity. In beginning to remember it, we put fear on notice that its days are numbered.

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.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

People want the nation to transform in the same way they want their own lives to transform. If you're interested in transforming your life, you can't just transform some things. You can't try to fix some things, but sweep other things under the rug because it's too hard to face them. And the same is true for a nation.

Image
Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
When we begin to see each other through what the metaphysician calls, the third eye, we begin to know each other on a level that is beyond what our physical eyes can see.
Marianne Williamson
Image
As long as we remain vigilant at building our internal abundance—an abundance of integrity, an abundance of forgiveness, an abundance of service, an abundance of love—then external lack is bound to be temporary.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We have a lot of choice about whether to interpret something as adversity or as opportunity. I see in myself the tendency at times to make situations worse than they have to be because of my catastrophic interpretation.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If we do not like what we see in the world, we must face what we don't like in ourselves. As we change, the world will change with us.

My father was a deeply committed humanitarian. He was a fighter for social justice. He was spirited in the deepest sense.

The U.S. incarcerates more of its people than any nation in the world, or any nation in history.

Image
If we only identify with the mortal world, then we identify with a level of scarcity and lack and brokenness, and that will be our experience.
Marianne Williamson
Image
When somebody comes up to you and shows you yellow underlining of something you wrote, that's such a high. It's a connection to others.

Fill you mind with the meaningless stimuli of a world preoccupied with meaningless things, and it will not be easy to feel peace in your heart.

If you think humanity can get itself out of all this mess without divine help, then you're not being hopeful - you're hallucinating.
