Marianne Williamson: The world loves us when we choose to love the world

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

“It takes courage...to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.”
― Marianne Williamson,

“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.”
― Marianne Williamson

“...available people are the ones who are dangerous, because they confront us with the possibility of real intimacy.”
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

“Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love. We melt into another world, a realm of power already within us. The world changes when we change. the world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world.”
― Marianne Williamson

“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.”
― Marianne Williamson

“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.”
― Marianne Williamson

“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.”
― Marianne Williamson

“No one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves.”
― Marianne Williamson

“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.”
― Marianne Williamson

“The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.”
― Marianne Williamson
