The way I see it, we teach our children through modeling. Marianne Williamson More Quotes by Marianne Williamson More Quotes From Marianne Williamson Sadness is just a place on the map. Don't try to avoid it, resist it or escape through substances. Settle it, allow it, and it will go. Marianne Williamson sadnesstryinghappiness When we approach love and creativity with the level of conviction that the powers-that-be in the world today are approaching hatred and destruction, then and only then will we have a chance. Marianne Williamson carpe-diemcreativityhatred We have been so long in a downward spin, the angels are calling us up. We are meant to fly and with our spirits we can. We are meant to ascend, to transmute the negative mass of the worlds corrupted thought forms. No one asked us to stay so long away from heaven, away from joy. Marianne Williamson angelinspiringlong Angels light the way. Angels do not begrudge anyone anything, angels do not tear down, angels do not compete, angels do not constrict their hearts, angels do not fear. That's why they sing and that's how they fly. We, of course, are only angels in disguise. Marianne Williamson angellightheart If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack. Marianne Williamson happinessbelievethinking Imagine everything you're experiencing now being a hundred times more wonderful. Bad turns good; good turns great. THAT IS WHAT IS POSSIBLE. Marianne Williamson experienceimaginationwonderful You will fear the darkness only to the extent that you yourself are not providing light. Marianne Williamson lightdarknessfear The plan of spiritual evolution is marked not only by God's will that we move ever in the direction of love, nut also by another of God's creative principles: that humanity has free will. What that means is that in any given moment, it is our choice whether we move toward love or retreat from it. What is not love is fear. But in the larger scheme of things, there is a limit past which lovelessness cannot remain. Fear is not life-giving enough to sustain itself. We can move in the direction of fear only so long before it brings us to our knees, or to our end. Marianne Williamson spiritualmeanmoving The world is in trouble. Many have prayed. God sent help. God sent you. Marianne Williamson godmeaningfulworld There is nothing Madison Avenue can give us that will make us more beautiful women. We are beautiful because God created us that way. Marianne Williamson self-lovebeautifulgiving The Department of Peace would take a more human approach to healing our society, looking not merely for ways we can destroy an enemy, but for more powerful ways to create new friends. While the State Department engages in international diplomacy, there is no domestic parallel. There is no department seeking to harness the power of a nonviolent heart. Marianne Williamson powerfulhealingheart The power of nonviolence is not circumstance-specific. It is as applicable to the problems that confront us now, as to problems that confronted generations in the past. It is not a medicine or a solution so much as a healing process. It is the active spiritual immune system of humanity. Marianne Williamson spiritualhealingpast Spiritual Work is not easy. It means the willingness to surrender feelings that seem, while we're in them, like our defense against a greater pain. It means that we surrender to God our perceptions of all things. Marianne Williamson painspiritualmean Every day can be like Christmas in its love and its peace if our hearts open up and make room for love. The holy child is waiting to be born in every instant, not just once a year. Marianne Williamson spiritualheartchildren Sometimes the purpose of a day is to merely feel our sadness, knowing that as we do, we allow whole layers of grief, like old skin cells to drop off us Marianne Williamson sadnesscellsgrief Spiritual growth increases our sense of what's possible. And as we sense new possibility, we can step into that possibility. With every word, every thought, every action, we choose what we wish to call forth in life. Marianne Williamson growthspiritualwish Our self-perception determines our behavior. If we think we’re small, limited, inadequate creatures, then we tend to behave that way, and the energy we radiate reflects those thoughts no matter what we do. If we think we’re magnificent creatures with an infinite abundance of love and power to give, then we tend to behave that way. Once again, the energy around us reflects our state of awareness. Marianne Williamson abundance-of-loveselfthinking Your job is to allow the Holy Spirit to remove the fearful thinking that surrounds your perfect self. Marianne Williamson selfjobsthinking God isn't separate from us, because He's the love inside our minds. Every problem, inside and out, is due to a separation from love on someone's part. Thirty-five thousand people a day die of hunger on earth, and there's no dearth of food. The question is not 'what kind of God would let children starve?' but rather, 'What kind of people let children starve?' Marianne Williamson mindchildrenpeople To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten.
