Marianne Williamson in A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" (1992) Ch. 7
“
If we wait for the world’s permission to shine, we will never receive it. The ego doesn’t give that permission. Only God does, and He has already done so. He has sent you here as His personal representative and is asking you to channel His love into the world. Are you waiting for a more important job? There isn’t one.
