We will make love an art and we will love like artists.
Marianne Williamson -
Putting love first means knowing that the universe supports you in creating the good, the holy, and the beautiful. It means knowing that you're on the earth for a purpose, and that the purpose itself will create opportunities for its accomplishment.
Marianne Williamson
-
If you allow spirit to have dominion in your heart you will have dominion in your life. That changes thinking. That IS the miracle. That I'm not just a child of the body, I'm a child of the universe and in the universe I am programmed for greatness, and the fact that I don't have money in my bank account now doesn't mean I'm any less programmed for greatness. I was programmed for greatness just like the acorn is programmed to be an oak tree.
Marianne Williamson -
When we do align with it, we thrive. And when we do not, we suffer. This is not "punishment." It is merely the Law of Cause and Effect. With each thought we think, we either align with universal love, or we disconnect ourselves from it. Whichever is our choice determines whether we then feel connected to, or disconnected, from our own true Selves.
Marianne Williamson -
God goes with me everywhere, because God is in my mind.
Marianne Williamson -
I don't think making love the new bottom line is naive; I believe that thinking we can survive the next hundred years doing anything less, is naive.
Marianne Williamson -
We think we need to create ourselves, always doing a paste-up job on our personalities. That is because we're trying to be special rather than real. We're pathetically trying to conform with all the other people trying to do the same.
Marianne Williamson -
Once you get to your forties or fifties in this society, very few people haven't had at least one body blow - financial, bankruptcy, divorce, relationship disaster, addiction, trouble with a child, trouble with a parent. Most people take some blow.
Marianne Williamson
-
People want the nation to transform in the same way they want their own lives to transform. If you're interested in transforming your life, you can't just transform some things. You can't try to fix some things, but sweep other things under the rug because it's too hard to face them. And the same is true for a nation.
Marianne Williamson -
Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?
Marianne Williamson -
Angels light the way. Angels do not begrudge anyone anything, angels do not tear down, angels do not compete, angels do not constrict their hearts, angels do not fear. That's why they sing and that's how they fly. We, of course, are only angels in disguise.
Marianne Williamson -
I can't say that there are "things" that make me come alive. There are thoughts that make me come alive. Those are thoughts that take me beyond myself; that remind me that there's a bigger game going on on this planet than simply my own existence; that love works miracles, and how much we need them at certain moment.
Marianne Williamson -
I don't know anybody who doesn't have a lost decade.
Marianne Williamson -
For what we engage, we transform. And what we engage with our hearts is transformed forever.
Marianne Williamson
-
We experience God to the extent to which we love, forgive, and focus on the good in others and ourselves.
Marianne Williamson -
Happiness is a decision I must make.
Marianne Williamson -
Making our goal anything other than peace is emotionally self-destructive.
Marianne Williamson -
Part of forgiving people is releasing them from our own agendas.
Marianne Williamson -
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 -
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
-
Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
Marianne Williamson -
I think you have to grieve the loss of youth before you can claim the joy on the other side of it.
Marianne Williamson -
The human race is almost addicted to war. It's like we just can't stop.
Marianne Williamson -
I've never seen service as separate from my spiritual practice or my spiritual teaching.
