Marianne Williamson quotes about

...you're on this earth with a divine purpose: to rise to the level of your highest creative possibility, expressing all that you are intellectually, emotionally, psychologically, and physically in order to make the universe a more beautiful place.
Every relationship, every situation is part of a divinely created and highly specific curriculum for your soul growth
