Marianne Williamson quotes - page 7

Now if you know what makes one person's life change, then you know what makes a nation change - because a nation is simply a large group of individuals. (Marianne Williamson)
Sometimes a miracle is a change in material conditions, such as physical healing. At other times, it is a psychological or emotional change.
Marianne Williamson
Everyone archetypally is a parent to future generations.
Marianne Williamson
Never think you can separate who you are from what you're doing.
Marianne Williamson
The new midlife is where you realize that even your failures make you more beautiful and are turned spiritually into success if you became a better person because of them. You became a more humble person. You became a more merciful and compassionate person.
Marianne Williamson
I trust life not because I trust the world, but because I trust the God who lives in my heart.

Use each interaction to be the best, most powerful version of yourself.
Marianne Williamson
The Law of Divine Compensation posits that this is a self-organizing and self-correcting universe: the embryo becomes a baby, the bud becomes a blossom, the acorn becomes an oak tree. Clearly, there is some invisible force that is moving every aspect of reality to its next best expression.
Marianne Williamson
Our key to transforming anything lies in our ability to reframe it.
Marianne Williamson
Love is all around us all the time. Love is the ethers that we swim in. Love is the amniotic fluid of the soul.
Marianne Williamson
The ego mind both professes its desire for love and does everything possible to repel it, or if it gets here anyway, to sabotage it. That is why dealing with issues like control, anger, and neediness is the most important work in preparing ourselves for love. (Marianne Williamson)
Enlightenment is the key to everything, and it is the key to intimacy, because it is the goal of true authenticity.
Marianne Williamson
Take stock of your thoughts and behavior. Each night ask yourself, when were you negative when you could have been positive? When did you withhold love when you might have given it? When did you play a neurotic game instead of behaving in a powerful way? Use this process to self-correct.
Marianne Williamson
The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one's influence wide to learn how to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it.
Marianne Williamson
The more room you give yourself to express your true thoughts and feelings, the more room there is for your wisdom to emerge.
Marianne Williamson
We need less posturing and more genuine charisma. Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning of the spirit or inspired. It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.
Marianne Williamson
There is, inside all our heads, the ego's rabid attack dog. It is purely vicious toward others and toward ourselves as well. Learning to control that dog, and ultimately to end its life, is the process and purpose of enlightened relationships.
Marianne Williamson
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
Marianne Williamson
In our ability to think about something differently lies the power to make it different.

We lack faith in *what* exists within us because we lack faith in *Who* exists within us.
Marianne Williamson
Family... a group experience of love and support. (Marianne Williamson)
We cannot get to our knowledge because the world is too loud. And we tend to make it louder as we cry out in pain, pretending we are singing.
Marianne Williamson
While overeating would be seen by some as an indulgence of self, it is in fact a profound rejection of self. It is a moment of self-betrayal and self-punishment, and anything but a commitment to one's own well-being.
Marianne Williamson
It doesn't take money to turn off the television and cultivate real bonding time.
Marianne Williamson
As long as there are ways we can serve, then we have a job to do.
