Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief.

Faith doesn't mean you don't have to do the work; it just means you're absolutely certain the work will pay off.
Interpretation
Faith involves believing in the positive outcome of your efforts, while still being required to put in the necessary work.
This quote by Marianne Williamson emphasizes that having faith in a successful outcome does not exempt one from the hard work required to achieve that success. It suggests a balanced approach where belief in potential results must be paired with dedicated effort, leading to eventual rewards.
In practice
In a motivational speech, you could say, 'Remember, faith doesn't mean you don't have to do the work...'
Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief.
As we become purer channels for God's light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world that is, but toward creating the world that could be.
Governments move armies, but only individuals can move hearts.

Be a warrior when it comes to delivering on your ambitions. And a saint when it comes to treating people with respect, modeling generosity, and showing up with outright love.
Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.
I promise I shall never give up, and that I'll die yelling and laughing, and that until then I'll rush around this world I insist is holy and pull at everyone's lapel and make them confess to me and to all.
If the thing you wish to do is right, and YOU BELIEVE IN IT, go ahead and do it! Put your dreams across, and never mind what 'they' say if you meet with temporary defeat, for 'they' perhaps, do not know that every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.

Online I see people committing 'social media suicide' all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you're never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don't warrant a response. This lends more credibility by driving traffic.
