Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.

I don't know anybody who doesn't have a lost decade.

In his farewell address, George Washington warned the people about political parties. Now we see how both Democrats and Republicans have conspired to reduce democratic participation. If this is the best the Democrats and Republicans have to offer, it's time to look elsewhere.Politics should be the prism for our most noble intentions.

What emerges from the silence is the deafening sound of an old world disintegrating.

'Accepting the Christ' is merely a shift in self-perception.

To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player...The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.

We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

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.

Love is insistent on its own continuation. Every fraction of a second, someone somewhere falls in love, a former enemy becomes a friend, and a newborn baby is born into the world.

Let go of your story so the Universe can write a new one for you.

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.

The Founders didn't mention political parties when they wrote the Constitution, and George Washington in essence warned us against them in his Farewell Address.
Marianne Williamson
-
God created the law of free will, and God created the law of cause and effect. And he himself will not violate the law. We need to be thinking less in terms of what God did and more in terms of whether or not we are following those laws.
Marianne Williamson

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
-
When we think with love, we are literally co-creating with God.
Marianne Williamson

Magic happens when you tell the universe what you want it to do for you; miracles happen when you ask how you can be of service to the universe.

You playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won't feel insecure around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.

Prepare for the new; expect the new; embrace the new. Otherwise, you'll just repeat what's old.
Marianne Williamson
-
Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

The point of life is not who falls down. The point is who gets up and how you do it.

Charisma is a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects.
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.

Everyone, archetypally, is a parent to future generations.
