Marianne Williamson's MiracleThought

Is it your responsibility to stop violence? Can you do anything? The only thing that dissolves hate is to be proactive and send love, Marianne says. You are more powerful than you think--harness love.

When you think your life is defined by your circumstances, you're putting too much faith in the material world. Don't live according to your circumstances, Marianne says. Instead, live in this moment according to your vision!

Life is going so fast, you might not realize that the things you think are unimportant in life are often the most important. People need your time--you will pay for it emotionally if you do not learn this lesson. Marianne talks about being with everyone that God puts before you. Realize how precious those moments are, she says.

How do you make the shift in perception to see miracles in your life? Transform your thoughts of fear into love. Marianne talks about how to look at each person and situation miraculously and adjust your soul.

As we become more spiritually advanced, our lives also get simpler, Marianne says. We are learning to not simply look, but to see what's really there. It's time to fully appreciate the glory of life, Marianne says.

Every time a person or situation resurfaces in your life, you have another chance to heal and create a better world. Marianne talks about how to make that "chance" meeting holy and perfect.

Sometimes what you think is the least exciting thing to do is really the richest experience. So maximize the moment and make the most of a casual visit with loved ones by being there right now, Marianne says.

In long-term relationships, you want to be with someone who allows you to change and grow. And nothing's more important than having supportive relationships with others. Marianne talks about having faith in people and their infinite potential.

When you surrender to God, you're getting your sense of guidance from an internal source. God is an aspect of your consciousness. Let all things be according to God's will, Marianne says. God can be your navigation system.

Whoever is around you deserves your committed kindness. If you want more tenderness and mercy from the universe, show it to other people and it shall be shown to you. What you give will not only help them, it will also have lifelong benefits for you, Marianne says.

One aspect of who you were is dying and you're becoming someone new, like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Marianne talks about leaning into your future and becoming the "you" you're capable of being.

Every situation is perfect the way it is. Every circumstance offers you a lesson that will help you become the person you're capable of being. What will you do? It's your decision as to how you handle it, Marianne says.

The earth is our mother. The human spirit and the soul is a "she," and God is a "he." Become one with the spirit of God within you. A new being will emerge from deep within you that is a being of love, Marianne says.

The universe has eyes. Every thought is a cause that, on some level, has an effect. Marianne talks about being careful with what you think and do.

You were born with infinite potential. The finite mind may not be able to handle this thought, but you can! It's your birthright. Marianne shows you how to claim it.
