If you went to live in the Himalayas and everyone was lovely there, I'm sure it would be fairly easy to be a spiritual master. Marianne Williamson More Quotes by Marianne Williamson More Quotes From Marianne Williamson So many of us have not attended to the deeper issues in ourselves; in our minds, our hearts, and in our external manifestations that keep love at bay.

You look at everything you've ever done, every circumstance you've ever been in, cleaning up everything in your past. Reconciling, forgiving others, forgiving yourself. It's a lot of work, actually.

Marianne Williamson technologyopportunitycommitment To me, liberation doesn't mean that I can think just like a man.

Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it. Marianne Williamson spiritualchildrenmoving
