The issue is not whether or not you have that power, the issue is whether or not you use it.

Love knows how to form itself. God will do his work if we do ours. Our job is to prepare ourselves for love. When we do, love finds us every time.

There will be no peace in the world until there is peace in our hearts.

The week ahead is already programmed for fabulousness. Pray that your thinking be aligned with the force that makes it so.

Newtonian physics is over. You don't act on the world to change the world. You realize the world is a projection of your inner self. If you change, the world changes.

Image
In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., No lie will last forever. We have to work at removing lies from our own hearts. And on the national level, we do this not because we blame our country, but because we love it.

Some things need to be let go before other things can be let in.

Love is who we are, and when we deviate from that love we're deviating from our ultimate, essential, eternal reality.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
There is an old cliche, 'You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full.' You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right. But whatever you focus on, you're going to get more of. Creation is an extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and you get more.

No true search for enlightenment ignores the suffering of other sentient beings. Ever. We simply need to create a way to address that suffering while remaining in a blissful center.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Our religious institutions have far too often become handmaidens of the status quo, while the genuine religious experience is anything but that. True religion is by nature disruptive of what has been, giving birth to the eternally new.

It's difficult to be alive in America today and truly be in denial anymore. It's not hip to be unconscious or uninvolved. One of our great strengths is that we're an optimistic people, but that doesn't mean we don't have sad days.

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.

At midlife, you're pregnant with the best self you can be - someone who has learned enough from both successes and failures to add up to a fine human being.

I'm not bowled over by how different all the world's religions are - I'm bowled over by how similar they are.
