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

By bringing the past into the present, we create a future just like the past. By letting the past go, we make room for miracles.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Letting go of the past allows us to create a better future filled with possibilities.
This quote by Marianne Williamson emphasizes the importance of releasing the past in order to open ourselves up to new opportunities and experiences. By clinging to past events and memories, we potentially hinder our growth and limit the miracles that the present and future may hold. Instead, if we can learn from the past and let it go, we create space for positive changes and unforeseen possibilities in our lives.

A queen is wise. She has earned her serenity, not having had it bestowed on her but having passer her tests. She has suffered and grown more beautiful because of it. She has proved she can hold her kingdom together. She has become its vision. She cares deeply about something bigger than herself. She rules with authentic power.
