Any situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don't yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Great people are not people who have never fallen down. Greatness has to do with how you get back up.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Our problem is not that we don't have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Attack thoughts towards others are attack thoughts towards ourselves.
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.
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 point of life is not who falls down. The point is who gets up and how you do it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is a perverse comfort zone to living a small life. For women, that zone has to do with the fact that we're less likely to be challenged, we're less likely to be criticized, we're less likely to be called angry or strident, if we simply go along and acquiesce to the prevailing patterns of thought and behavior.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Sadness is just a place on the map. Don't try to avoid it, resist it or escape through substances. Settle it, allow it, and it will go.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Kennedy's assassination was the opening salvo in the social revolution of the sixties. In some ways, perhaps, Princess Diana and Mother Teresa dying when they did, and how they did, represent the opening salvos of a social revolution in the nineties.

Again--nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Sometimes when we don't know the answer, it's time to simply be with the question.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You receive the light through what you read, through what you hear in meditation, or through some spiritual practice.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I think moral outrage is born not of anger but of love. It comes from the highest in us, not from a low-level sense of anger or cynicism.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
