Marianne Williamson QUOTES

We came here to co-create with God by extending love. Life spent with any other purpose in mind is meaningless, contrary to our nature, and [...]
Meaning doesn’t lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren’t love—the money, the car, the house, the [...]
Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment—or unlearning—of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.  
As we begin to travel more lightly within the body, and our minds give up the constant preoccupation with body thoughts, aging becomes a [...]
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
The thought system that dominates our world is laced with selfish values, and relinquishing those values is a lot easier said than done. The journey to a pure heart can be highly disorientating. For years we may have worked for money, power and prestige. Now all of a sudden we've learned that those are just the values of a dying world.
The desire to get something reflects a core belief that we don't have enough already. As long as we believe there is scarcity inside us, we'll continue to manufacture scarcity around us because that is our basic thought. No matter what we get, it will never be enough.
If a relationship allows us to merely avoid our unhealed places, then we're hiding there, not growing.
In every moment we make a decision—whether conscious or unconscious. Will I choose to open my heart, send love, withhold judgment and [...]
In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.
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.
When we think we have things already figured out, we’re not teachable. Genuine insight can’t dawn on a mind that’s not open to receive it.
Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.
Thought is Cause; experience is Effect. If you don’t like the effects in your life, you have to change the nature of your thinking.
To ask for another relationship, or another job, is not particularly helpful if we’re going to show up in the new situation exactly as we showed up in the last one.
Our self-perception determines our behavior. If we think we’re small, limited, inadequate creatures, then we tend to behave that way, and the energy we radiate reflects those thoughts no matter what we do. If we think we’re magnificent creatures with an infinite abundance of love and power to give, then we tend to behave that way. Once again, [continue reading...]
When infants aren't held, they can become sick, even die. It's universally accepted that children need love, but at what age are people supposed to stop needing it? We never do. We need love in order to live happily, as much as we need oxygen in order to live at all.
Do what you love. Do what makes your heart sing. And NEVER do it for the money, Go to work to spread joy.
It takes courage...to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is [continue reading...]
