Famous Sayings by Marianne Williamson
1. As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.
2. Fill you mind with the meaningless stimuli of a world preoccupied with meaningless things, and it will not be easy to feel peace in your heart.
3. 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.
4. If I choose to bless another person, I will always end up feeling more blessed.
5. 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.
6. Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
7. Nothing liberates our greatness like the desire to help, the desire to serve.
8. Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.
9. The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
10. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.
11. The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
12. The spiritual path – is simply the journey of living our lives. Everyone is on a spiritual path; most people just don’t know it.
13. 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.
14. Imagine the most amazing thing you could do with your life. Now whatever you just thought of, that was it! Hold the thought. Cherish it and let it in…
15. Happiness isn’t circumstance-dependent; it’s a frame of mind. You and you alone decide how to interpret everything that happens.
16. Patience is the spiritual power to wait with faith, remembering that the universe is on your side even when other people aren’t.
How can the universe support a vision that you yourself won’t hold tenderly and steadily within your heart? Your consciousness is your spiritual womb. Be quietly and proudly pregnant with the most beautiful possibilities for your future.
