More quotes by Marianne Williamson

Image
From a mind filled with infinite love comes the power to create infinite possibilities. We have the power to think in ways that reflect and attract all the love in the world. Such thinking is called enlightenment. Enlightenment is not a process we work toward, but a choice available to us in any instant.

You don't want to try to protect yourself from the pain of a crisis. You want to learn everything you can from it.

Image
I feel that if your soul was branded by the sixties, you never lost the brand. It's like going into a nightclub and having your hand stamped so that you don't have to come back but you can come back.

Every time we're about to criticize someone for what we think they did wrong, let's first remember to thank them for the things they did right. And to mean it to sincerely affirm them. Then, if there's still a problem that needs to be shared, it will come from a completely different energy -- and actually be heard!

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.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won't feel insecure around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.

Image
The miracle often lies outside our comfort zone.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.
Marianne Williamson
Image
It is our own thoughts that hold the key to miraculous transformation.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The universe is intentional. It is always moving in the direction of greater love, regardless whether or not we consciously align with that love.

Gender or skin color does not of itself determine the nature of a person's thinking.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Love is who we are, and when we deviate from that love we're deviating from our ultimate, essential, eternal reality.

Image
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.

Life is a book that never ends. Chapters close, but not the book itself. The end of one physical incarnation is like the end of a chapter, on some level setting up the beginning of another.

People who hate often do so with great conviction. What we need are more people who love with conviction.
