Quote

The key to a successful career is realizing that it's not separate from the rest of your life, but is rather an extension of your most basic self. And your most basic self is love.

Enlightenment doesn't mean we were never wounded it means we've found a way to evolve beyond our wounds. Enlightenment isn't idealistic it's practical. What's idealistic is thinking we can live from our wounds, stay in our weakness, and ever transform the world.

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

We have to wage peace. That's the law of the spirit is the waging of peace, because if we simply seek to manage the effects of hatred, which does need to be done, of course. But if all we do is manage the effects of hatred, then hatred will simply stalk us the next decade or the next generation. We need to dismantle hatred itself.

The Law of Divine Compensation posits that this is a self-organizing and self-correcting universe: the embryo becomes a baby, the bud becomes a blossom, the acorn becomes an oak tree. Clearly, there is some invisible force that is moving every aspect of reality to its next best expression.

For every person who might reject you if you live your truth, there are ten others who will embrace you and welcome you home.
Marianne Williamson
Image
To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I don't think that my twenties were any more dramatic than those of most people I know. I was never that bad and I never became that good.

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

I think those of us on a spiritual journey can help create a new conversation, a new America, and a new world.

If you're getting your guidance about who you are and what to do with your life only from the external world, then by definition you'll be led away from your authentic truth. Your authentic truth isn't in the material world. It's counterintuitive, but you have more power in the world when you know you're not of it.

To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player...The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.

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

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.

Creating the world we want is a much more subtle but more powerful mode of operation than destroying the one we don't want.
