Quote

The reason we don't often confront the larger question of whether or not war is survivable is because of a failure of imagination. We honestly cannot imagine having reached a state in our own evolution in which we do not fight.

Our key to transforming anything lies in our ability to reframe it.

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.

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.

Image
In the area of work and money, we have one of the most intense gaps between fear-based and love-based thought. It's not that a miracle mindset applies to work and money any more than it applies to anything else rather, it applies there no less than anywhere else.

Whether we love, or close our hearts to love, is a mental choice we make, every moment of every day.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We have a lot of choice about whether to interpret something as adversity or as opportunity. I see in myself the tendency at times to make situations worse than they have to be because of my catastrophic interpretation.

The U.S. incarcerates more of its people than any nation in the world, or any nation in history.

While overeating would be seen by some as an indulgence of self, it is in fact a profound rejection of self. It is a moment of self-betrayal and self-punishment, and anything but a commitment to one's own well-being.
Marianne Williamson
Image
When somebody comes up to you and shows you yellow underlining of something you wrote, that's such a high. It's a connection to others.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Sometimes sadness is appropriate. Not something to run from, not something to numb...just something to feel.
Marianne Williamson
Image
For what we engage, we transform. And what we engage with our hearts is transformed forever.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If you give your life as a wholehearted response to love, then love will wholeheartedly respond to you.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The power to rethink a situation is our greatest tool for transforming the world. This notion is taking hold in medicine, in business, in education. But not in politics and the media. They are the last holdouts of old-paradigm thinking.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The highest level of creativity consists in being, not doing. When the being is intense enough, when the words are spoken enough, when the thoughts are thought enough, the doing will automatically follow.

Every relationship is a gift exchange.

I think future generations will see the invention of the Internet as having been as important as the invention of the printing press. It’s the democratizing tool of all tools. As long as no one can control the flow of information, then freedom always has a chance.
Marianne Williamson
Image
It is absolutely a relationship with food that is a displaced relationship with God. And that displaced relationship with God takes two forms: our availability to other people and our availability to our own thoughts and feelings.

We resist Joy on this planet more than we resist war.

We aren't bodies at all who we are is the love inside us, and it is that love alone that determines our value. When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness.
