Any situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don’t yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -
We aren’t bodies at all; who we are is the love inside us, and it is that love alone that determines our value. When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -
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.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -
Carrying the past in to the present, we program the future to continue the past. Letting go the past in the present, we free the future to be something else.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -

MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -
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.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -
In 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 WILLIAMSON -
May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -
You 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 WILLIAMSON -
If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -
To the ego mind, surrender means giving up. To the spiritual mind, surrender means giving in and receiving.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON -
Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work.
