MARIANNE WILLIAMSONOnce you know that every moment and every person and every situation has something to teach you, you’re a student all day. You know it’s the depth of your observation that is the issue – not how much the world has to show you.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONPeople hear you on the level you speak to them from. Speak from your heart, and they will hear with theirs.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONWe can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what’s wrong in your life, or you can focus on what’s right.

MARIANNE WILLIAMSONA miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLove is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONThe more we allow ourselves to enjoy, the more reasons we find to be joyful.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONKarma 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.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONForgiveness 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.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLove is a wave flowing in the direction of bliss for all living things. It will carry you if you allow it to flow through you.
