Marianne Williamson quotes about

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.
Much like a GPS, love re-calibrates itself if you've made a wrong turn.

Just like a sunbeam can't separate itself from the sun, and a wave can't separate itself from the ocean, we can't separate ourselves from one another. We are all part of a vast sea of love, one indivisible divine mind.
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.
We can invoke spiritual compensation when we find ourselves in situations of material lack.
