Living meaningfully is what brings joy.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLiving meaningfully is what brings joy.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONThe reason so many of us are obsessed with becoming stars is because we are not yet starring in our own lives. The cosmic spotlight isn’t pointed at you, it radiates from within you.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONForgiveness 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.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONA meaningful life is not a popularity contest. Do what in your heart you believe to be the right thing, and you may or may not get immediate approval from the world. Do it anyway.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLife is a book that never ends. Chapters close, but not the book itself. The end of one physical incarnation is like the end of a chapter, on some level setting up the beginning of another.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONYou playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won’t feel insecure around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLove isn’t material. It’s energy. We experience it as kindness, giving, mercy, compassion, peace, joy, acceptance, non-judgment, joining and intimacy.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONOnce the light of our awareness is cast on any darkness, then it cannot hide and it cannot remain. Such is the law of consciousness.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONThe spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLet’s forgive the past and who we were then. Let’s embrace the present and who we’re capable of becoming. Let’s surrender the future and watch miracles unfold.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONGod is the electricity and we are the lamps.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONI’m better than I used to be. Better than I was yesterday. But hopefully not as good as I’ll be tomorrow.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONEvery bird that sings, sings for you. Every breeze that blows, blows for you. Every sunray shines for you. If you only knew how loved you are.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONIn 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.
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 WILLIAMSONBehind every dark cloud there is an every-shining sun. Just wait. In time, the cloud will pass.
