Putting love first means knowing that the universe supports you in creating the good, the holy, and the beautiful. It means knowing that you're on the earth for a purpose, and that the purpose itself will create opportunities for its accomplishment.

Every judgement blocks the light!
Marianne Williamson
Image
What I think about you, I will not be able to escape thinking about myself, and what I do to you, I will not be able to escape experiencing myself.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The gap is not between knowing it and living it, it's between knowing it and living it consistently. You know, we've all had moments when we got it right. Most of us have moments when we get it right every day. The trouble is getting it right when a curve-ball comes at us.

If your eyes were open to all the beauty in the world, you would be overwhelmed with joy.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Once we reach a certain age, we tend to recalibrate our expectations. We expect less from the world once we've seen it up close.

Who we are, not just the services and products we provide, creates money.

To me, that's the important issue about spiritual principle: that you recognize it as both that which saves you from the self-sabotaging mind and that which heals you and lifts you up when you succumb to it and attract whatever personal disaster you attract.

It's funny, I see Wendy Kaminer herself as a kind of guru - a guru of the fashionably cynical set. Yet she uses the term guru to minimize my career, to marginalize my thoughts and to trivialize my work, as well as those of others.

Seek more opportunities to put more love in the world.

Image
Jesus is a personal symbol of the Holy Spirit. Having been totally healed by the Holy Spirit, Jesus became one with him. Every thought, action, and deed of Jesus was guided by the Holy Spirit instead of ego.

You must master a new way to think, before you can master a new way to be.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Think of your work life therefore, not as separate from your spiritual life but as central to your spiritual life. Whatever your business, it is your ministry.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is an old cliche, 'You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full.' You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right. But whatever you focus on, you're going to get more of. Creation is an extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and you get more.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We must keep in mind that where the road is crooked, God makes it straight, and where our hearts are wounded, God makes us whole. As we open our hearts in purity and simplicity, admitting to God that we are completely powerless in the area of our problem, His illumination redeems us.

Image
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.

Living meaningfully is what brings joy.

I don't believe there are any powers, which in the larger sense, are unnatural or even supernatural. I think we just do not yet scientifically understand all of the powers inherent in the human consciousness, and the more attuned we are to the realm of spirit, the more our conscious mind is available to subconscious, spiritual prompting.

The Goddess doesn't enter us from outside she emerges from deep within. She is not held back by what happened in the past. She is conceived in consciousness, born in love, and nurtured by higher thinking. She is integrity and value, created and sustained by the hard work of personal growth and the discipline of a life lived actively in hope.
Marianne Williamson

When we surrender to God, we let go of our attachment to how things happen on the outside, and we become more concerned with what happens on the inside.
