Depression might have chosen you, but you don't have to choose it back. Sometimes happiness comes with bootstraps, but so what? Pull 'em up. Choose joy.

More quotes by Marianne Williamson
Whenever we feel lost, or insane, or afraid, all we have to do is ask for His help. The help might not come in the form we expected, or even thought we desired, but it will come, and we will recognize it by how we feel. In spite of everything, we will feel at peace.
Marianne Williamson
Beyond drama and chaos, beyond anxiety and fear, lies a zone of endless peace and love. Let's all take a very deep breath, slow down for just a moment and remember this. That alone will open the door.
Marianne Williamson
Once we truly understand that God's will is that we be happy, we no longer feel the need to ask for anything other than that God's will be done.
Marianne Williamson
If there is anything interesting about my story it's the fact that it's not unique at all. I feel that I have been through what almost everyone I know has - a slow and gradual maturation process.
Marianne Williamson
Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it.
Marianne Williamson
In his farewell address, George Washington warned the people about political parties. Now we see how both Democrats and Republicans have conspired to reduce democratic participation. If this is the best the Democrats and Republicans have to offer, it's time to look elsewhere.Politics should be the prism for our most noble intentions.
Marianne Williamson
There is simply too much unnecessary suffering in our world. And we should see that as a national security risk, by the way. Given enough time, desperate people will tend to do desperate things. At a certain point you won't be able to build enough prisons or enough bombs to eradicate the effects of all that violence inside so many hearts.
Marianne Williamson
Often miracles are happening right in front of our eyes, but we think they should look different, so we miss them though they're right there.
Marianne Williamson
You can't remove that layer of pain by just saying, Okay, I'm not going to wallow in it. The only way to remove that layer of pain is to face what it says and to recognize it as the look in the mirror that it is, reflecting the things you did that you wish you hadn't done and the things you didn't do that you wish you had done.
Marianne Williamson
The more you drop into your heart, the more God can drop into your mind.
Marianne Williamson
I think those of us on a spiritual journey can help create a new conversation, a new America, and a new world.
Marianne Williamson
Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.
Marianne Williamson
God is the electricity and we are the lamps.
Marianne Williamson
We love purely when we release other people to be who they are.
Marianne Williamson
If you went to live in the Himalayas and everyone was lovely there, I'm sure it would be fairly easy to be a spiritual master.
Marianne Williamson
I'm not bowled over by how different all the world's religions are - I'm bowled over by how similar they are.
Marianne Williamson
We are here to repair the world. I grew up thinking that was what everybody was trying to do.
Marianne Williamson
The only feelings you really need to fear are those you ignore.
Marianne Williamson
I feel that the social revolution of the sixties is like a revolving door that came our way, and then left. It's back again.
Marianne Williamson
We're often afraid of looking at our shadow because we want to avoid the shame or embarrassment that comes along with admitting mistakes.
