Image
Spiritual growth increases our sense of what's possible. And as we sense new possibility, we can step into that possibility. With every word, every thought, every action, we choose what we wish to call forth in life.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You are completely at choice who you will be today in your interactions with others. Compassionate, kind, giving and forgiving will create one set of probabilities angry, judgmental, critical and defensive will create another one altogether.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.
Marianne Williamson
Image
To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten.
Marianne Williamson
Image
People tend to have a government that reflects the level of consciousness of the majority of people who voted.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The wisdom that comes from having experienced heartbreak cannot be bequeathed it can only be gained through experience. And having truly felt it, we are far more likely to have compassion for others. Anything that takes us close to true compassion takes us closer to what will one day be an experience of even greater joy.
Marianne Williamson

Higher thought forms trump lower ones. In the presence of a high frequency of human consciousness, all lower thought forms ultimately drop of their own dead weight.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If you're getting your guidance about who you are and what to do with your life only from the external world, then by definition you'll be led away from your authentic truth. Your authentic truth isn't in the material world. It's counterintuitive, but you have more power in the world when you know you're not of it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
For a society as abundant and as blessed as ours, to have as many disadvantaged children as we have does not bode well for our long-term economic future.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Everything connects to everything therefore, as we change, the world cannot but change with us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Since our peace lies in loving as God loves, we must strive to love everyone. The only love that completes us is the love of God, and the love of God is the love of everyone.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You don't have to pray to attract great things, because great things are attracted to you already. Pray that you won't throw them away once they get here.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Where there is peace, there cannot be chaos the two cannot coexist at the same time.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We must keep in mind that where the road is crooked, God makes it straight, and where our hearts are wounded, God makes us whole. As we open our hearts in purity and simplicity, admitting to God that we are completely powerless in the area of our problem, His illumination redeems us.

Image
No matter what is happening now, events will ultimately bend toward love the way a flower bends toward sunlight.

Image
Fear comes, but fear passes.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If we come to see that this world does not have the final word, then we open our mind and therefore our entire lives to experience the possibility of infinite possibilities.
