Is This A Marianne Williamson Quote Or Did I Just Make It Up?

It's from her book _A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles."_

It's real!

"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."

I made this one up!

"It's easy to become a spiritual person. All you need is the desire to get there, a positive attitude, and a willingness to look inside yourself for answers and deep introspection."

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

I made this one up.

"Always follow your heart and the dark psychic forces will stay far, far away. If you really try hard in this life, the universe will always reward you."

It's from her book _Everyday Grace: Having Hope, Finding Forgiveness And Making Miracles._

"Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work."

It's from her book _Enchanted Love: The Mystical Power Of Intimate Relationships._

"Can the purpose of a relationship be to trigger our wounds? In a way, yes, because that is how healing happens; darkness must be exposed before it can be transformed. The purpose of an intimate relationship is not that it be a place where we can hide from our weaknesses, but rather where we can safely let them go."

I made it up!

"The universe rewards those who understand the true meaning of love, life, and letting go."

It's from her book _The Law of Divine Compensation_.

"Spiritual growth involves giving up the stories of your past so the universe can write a new one."

"When we attach value to things that aren’t love — the money, the car, the house, the prestige — we are loving things that can’t love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless."

"From a mind filled with infinite love comes the power to create infinite possibilities. We have the power to think in ways that reflect and attract all the love in the world."

"When you walk outside and don't see any chemtrails above you, it's the universe saying that it's going to be a good day. If you see one on your left side, your day will have special meaning."

It's from her book _The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for a Radically New Life_.

"The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of  
shattering it."

"Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment — or unlearning — of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth."
