Darkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.

You can't remove that layer of pain by just saying, Okay, I'm not going to wallow in it. The only way to remove that layer of pain is to face what it says and to recognize it as the look in the mirror that it is, reflecting the things you did that you wish you hadn't done and the things you didn't do that you wish you had done.

Marianne Williamson
Image
Become more accepting. With every interaction, surrender any tendency to judge another person. Pray for a more accepting heart.

Bless more blame less.

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
Always be open to new beginnings. To the universe, every moment is the start of the next big thing in your life.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Your personal power is not something that is going to reveal itself at some later date. Your power is a result of your decision to reveal it. You are powerful in whatever moment you choose to be.

Image
Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.

I'm better than I used to be. Better than I was yesterday. But hopefully not as good as I'll be tomorrow.

I feel that the social revolution of the sixties is like a revolving door that came our way, and then left. It's back again.

We are likely to feel better when we go to bed tonight if we have an internal sense that we spent our lives meaningfully today.
