Quotes by Marianne Williamson

“The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.”

“The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.”

“The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.”

“I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.”

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

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