No one is any more or any less important than you are.

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.

All things show up in the world according to the purposes we ascribe to them.

I think it's unfortunate how many people today try to build up their own careers by denigrating the work of others.
Marianne Williamson

Sometimes a miracle is a change in material conditions, such as physical healing. At other times, it is a psychological or emotional change.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The biggest problem is our lack of response-ability. That’s what happens when money rather than love is the bottom line. People act like idiots.
