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

If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Happiness comes from within, not from external circumstances or possessions.
This quote by Marianne Williamson emphasizes that the belief in needing something external for happiness leads to a mindset of lack. When one focuses on what they do not have, they perpetuate a cycle of unhappiness and deficiency, causing them to overlook the abundance that is already present in their 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.
