Marianne Williamson's MiracleThought

Learning what love holds is also learning what it does not hold. Love holds nothing against you. Learn to love others the way God loves you. Marianne talks about what it all means.

Can other people stop you from reaching your goals? Is there any circumstance that can hold you back from your purpose? The only person who can ultimately stop you is you, Marianne says.

You can learn as much from your failures as you do from your success. A failure does not have to remain a failure--it can become a lesson. Marianne talks about taking an authentic look at the principles you need to get you there.

Happiness lies in being involved in a process that is larger than you are. Your thoughts and feelings are brought into divine right order when you're serving something bigger than yourself. Marianne talks about how to get rid of emotional angst, heal and find happiness.

If you have a nagging suspicion that you're wasting your life, it's because you are. Do you ever feel guilty, as though you are cheating yourself or God? Live to your fullest potential. The world will take you more seriously when you take yourself more seriously through the work of God, Marianne says.

Some say that people have stopped being close to their families because of the way society has shifted. But you can redefine how close you are with your family. Now is the time to try because family does matter, Marianne says.

There are times when, in order to preserve intimacy, you shouldn't say everything you're thinking. It's time to be discerning about what you say and learn how to be truly intimate, Marianne says.

Weariness means you're hanging onto something--it's time to let go. Shed your old skin and grow a new one. Marianne says there's an old world falling down all around us, making way for the new.

According to Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, when two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them. Look around you and be willing to make your relationships a place to experience God's miracles and the light, Marianne says.

Imagine your spiritual path. What does it look like? Marianne talks about starting the week by walking on the path that you've envisioned for yourself.

Burden, bitterness, pleasure and ease--find out how they’re all connected. Sometimes the most bitter circumstances teach you things that enable you to know pleasure and joy. Time has a magical way of opening the heart to understanding things we didn't understand during the bitter days. Marianne talks about how to let time open your heart.

Every moment contains every lesson you need to learn. Be who you truly are and see the lessons. Your day will be perfect if you live it correctly. Marianne talks about how to become a part of the universe and live in the energy now.

Believe it or not, your faith can move mountains. Through God's power within you, anything is possible. Marianne says you think you are your body, but in actuality, you are a mountain-moving machine!

While it's difficult to let your children go as they grow up, it's one of the inevitable facts of being a parent. Children have to find God, truth and their own individual strength. Marianne talks about how to deal with it.

Today is the day you hand your troubles to God. Nothing is too big for him to handle. Be willing to consider the possibility that God can do for you what you cannot do for yourself, Marianne says.
