Obviously, our political system is profoundly corrupted by, among other things, the influence of money. But, at a deeper level, the current structure is flawed because it looks to citizens for only two things - votes and money.

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.

Marianne Williamson
Image
As long as we remain vigilant at building our internal abundance—an abundance of integrity, an abundance of forgiveness, an abundance of service, an abundance of love—then external lack is bound to be temporary.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The Real You isn't damaged goods. The Real You is the light of the universe.
Marianne Williamson

There will be no peace in the world until there is peace in our hearts.
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.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Prepare for the new expect the new embrace the new. Otherwise, you'll just repeat what's old.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Yes, we see that there are problems in the world. But we believe in a universal force that, when activated by the human heart, has the power to make all things right.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Yes, hardships come. But I see in my life and in the lives of others how often something that does not have to be held as a hardship is dealt with by the mind as though it is.

Gandhi said the end is inherent in the means, which means you cannot create any more peace than you yourself have attained. An angry generation will not bring peace.
