AMAZING QUOTES FROM

Marianne Williamson

Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a

fractured sense of self.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the

love we're not extending in the present.

We 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.

Forgiveness 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.

“Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called "All the Things

That Could Go Wrong.”

“Love 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. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”

“And no one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves.”

“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how

good things really are.”

“There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.”

“Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation

becomes inner peace.”

“You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth

is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think. ”

“Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and abilities were used in a way that served others.”

If I choose to bless another person,I will always end up feeling more

blessed.

Maturity includes the recognition that no one is going to see

anything in us that we don't see in ourselves. Stop waiting for a producer. Produce yourself.
