The spiritual journey, the path of recovery and personal growth, is a detoxification process in which we bring up and out the negative beliefs we have carried with us from the past and that now poison the present.

More quotes by Marianne Williamson
A meaningful life is not a popularity contest. Do what in your heart you believe to be the right thing, and you may or may not get immediate approval from the world. Do it anyway.
Marianne Williamson
My story has been the story of my generation.
Marianne Williamson
We were born with a natural tendency to focus on love. Our imaginations were creative and flourishing, and we knew how to use them. We were connected to a richer world, a world full of enchantment and a sense of the miraculous. What happened?
Marianne Williamson
In every moment we make a decision -- whether conscious or unconscious. Will I choose to open my heart, send love, withhold judgment and thus free myself from fear? Or will I close my heart, project fear instead of extending love, judge others, and thus bind myself to fear? The choice is mine and mine alone.
Marianne Williamson
Fear comes, but fear passes.
Marianne Williamson
There are other kinds of emotional pain that emerge from our own mistaken thinking. As we surrender that pain, we are inviting into our thought system a guide who will lead us to different thoughts. It’s like the song “Amazing Grace”: I was blind and now I see.
Marianne Williamson
The miracle-minded perception would be to make happiness itself our goal and to relinquish the thought that we know what that would look like.
Marianne Williamson
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
My father was a deeply committed humanitarian. He was a fighter for social justice. He was spirited in the deepest sense.
Marianne Williamson
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
Many people who say they're looking for love are merely looking for superficial comfort. They're not looking yet for the true romantic adventure. For that entails a readiness to die to who we were, in order to be born again prepared for love, truly worthy of the romantic heights.
Marianne Williamson
I believe we are shown the path that is right as soon as we ask for it. Then we must live in the world and in some way express what we have learned.
Marianne Williamson
Enlightenment is the only real antidote to the world's despair.
Marianne Williamson
Part of forgiving people is releasing them from our own agendas.
Marianne Williamson
The only thing we have to give to the world is our own grasp on it.
Marianne Williamson
When we surrender to God, we let go of our attachment to how things happen on the outside, and we become more concerned with what happens on the inside.
Marianne Williamson
The mystical journey drives us into ourselves, to a sacred flame at our center.
Marianne Williamson
Let go of your story so the Universe can write a new one for you.
Marianne Williamson
Dear God, I surrender this thought to you, for I would see the miracle that lies behind it. Amen.
Marianne Williamson
The pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain.
Marianne Williamson
