Marianne Williamson quotes about
God is the electricity and we are the lamps.
Karma means that all actions have consequences. Grace means that in a moment of atonement -taking responsibility, making amends, asking for forgiveness - all karma is burned.
Whatever situation you're in: Send love, place it in God's hands, open your heart to everyone involved - and it will turn out miraculously.
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.
No one is any more or any less important than you are.
A queen is wise. She has earned her serenity, not having had it bestowed on her but having passer her tests. She has suffered and grown more beautiful because of it. She has proved she can hold her kingdom together. She has become its vision. She cares deeply about something bigger than herself. She rules with authentic power.
"Nothing binds you except your thoughts; nothing limits you except your fear; and nothing controls you except your beliefs.
We were all born carrying a promise -- a promise to make the world better -- and there's a yearning to make good on that promise that none of us can suppress forever.
When a woman rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic and her sense of possibility contagious.
I'm better than I used to be. Better than I was yesterday. But hopefully not as good as I'll be tomorrow.
We do not heal the past by dwelling there. We heal the past by living in the present.
Each of us has a unique part to play in the healing of the world.
Forgiveness is the choice to see people as they are now. When we're mad at people, we're angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances.
Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for.
