Inspiration Quote by Marianne Williamson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The highest prize we can receive for creative work is the joy of being creative. Creative effort spent for any other reason than the joy of being in that light filled space, love, god, whatever we want to call it, is lacking in integrity. . .”

“The difference between a friendship and a romance is illustrated in the image of a long-stemmed rose.  The stem is the friendship, the blossom is the romance.  Because the ego is sensation-oriented, our focus automatically goes to the blossom, but all the nourishment which the blossom needs in order to live reaches it through the stem.  The stem might look boring in comparison, but if you take the blossom off the stem, it will not last for long.”

“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.”

“We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.”

“Remember that failure is an event, not a person.”

“The secret of joy in work is contained in one word: excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.”

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”

“Learning without reflection is a waste, reflection without learning is dangerous.”

“What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.”
