Quote

I try to be self-disciplined with my thoughts. It’s our thoughts that matter most, and all the rest falls into line behind that: if I remember who I really am and why I’m on the earth, then I more naturally want to treat my body like a temple and so forth.

[God is] an all-encompassing love that is the source of all, the reality of all, and the being through which I am.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The desire for transcendence is intimately connected with the desire for creativity. It is just as essential to who and what we are.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Even though modern life in many ways is nothing short of exhausting, we need to take responsibility for what is necessary to combat the stress and exhaustion of modern life.
Marianne Williamson
Image
God created the law of free will, and God created the law of cause and effect. And he himself will not violate the law. We need to be thinking less in terms of what God did and more in terms of whether or not we are following those laws.
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.

Living meaningfully is what brings joy.

My father's politics were old-fashioned in the sense that he used to say, all the time, You've got to fight the system! But my spiritual beliefs have led me to believe that the fight is the problem.

In each of us, there lies a divine connection to a power more powerful than hate or violence. Today is the day to attune to that power and use it on behalf of peace on earth.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Each of us is born with an internal navigational system. The thinking of the world has a way of switching the system off, but we can always turn it on again through prayer, meditation and forgiveness. Doing this puts us back on track in our lives, making us wise, convicted and powerful.
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.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We are dominated on this planet by a fear-based rather than a love-based thought system. Enlightenment involves relinquishing the thought system based on fear and instead accepting a thought system based on love.

Image
Nothing is so dangerous for our security as large groups of desperate people.

Image
Part of forgiving people is releasing them from our own agendas.

Behind every dark cloud there is an every-shining sun. Just wait. In time, the cloud will pass.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is no such thing as a faithless person we either have faith in the power of love, or faith in the power of fear. For faith is an aspect of consciousness. Have faith in love, and fear will lose its power over you. Have faith in forgiveness, and your self-hatred will fall away. Have faith in miracles, and they will come to you.

The new midlife is where you realize that even your failures make you more beautiful and are turned spiritually into success if you became a better person because of them. You became a more humble person. You became a more merciful and compassionate person.

Become more accepting. With every interaction, surrender any tendency to judge another person. Pray for a more accepting heart.
