Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
Marianne WilliamsonAny situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don't yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.
Marianne WilliamsonThere is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not 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. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
