Quote

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 are free to experience life negatively or positively, and the choice you make determines whether you are at cause, or at effect, of the life you are living.
Marianne Williamson
Image

Marianne Williamson
Image
Seek more opportunities to put more love in the world.
Marianne Williamson
Image

Marianne Williamson
Image
Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. When you choose to love, you choose to work miracles.
Marianne Williamson
Image
It's not just in some of us it's in everyone.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The reason we don't often confront the larger question of whether or not war is survivable is because of a failure of imagination. We honestly cannot imagine having reached a state in our own evolution in which we do not fight.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Every moment is an invitation to live out of your weakness or to live out of your strength.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We think we need to create ourselves, always doing a paste-up job on our personalities. That is because we're trying to be special rather than real. We're pathetically trying to conform with all the other people trying to do the same.

Use each interaction to be the best, most powerful version of yourself.
