More quotes by Melody Beattie
Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
Melody Beattie
Today I will stop trying to control my relationships. I will participate at a reasonable level and let the other person do the same. I can let go, knowing that the relationship will find its own life-or not-and that I don't have to do all the work, only my share.
Melody Beattie
All endings are inexorably tied to new beginnings. That's the nature of the journey. It continues to unfold. It builds on itself. It can't help itself from doing that. Cherish the moments, all of them. You have seen and felt much in life so far. But still, the best is yet to come.
Melody Beattie
Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain, and we take responsibility for all our feelings.
Melody Beattie

Melody Beattie
...Help me let go of my need to stay immersed in negativity. I can change the energy in myself and my environment from negative to positive. I will affirm the good until it sinks in and feels real. I will also strive to find one quality that I like about someone else who's important to me, and I will take the risk of telling him or her that.
Melody Beattie
Gratitude helps us stop trying to control outcomes. It is the key that unlocks positive energy in our life. It is the alchemy that turns problems into blessings, and the unexpected into gifts.
Melody Beattie
Panic, not the task, is the enemy.
Melody Beattie
Resentments are hardened chunks of anger. They loosen up and dissolve with forgiveness and letting go.
Melody Beattie
Guilt can prevent us from setting the boundaries that would be in our best interests, and in other peoples best interests.
Melody Beattie
Waiting time is not wasted time. Something is being worked out - in us, in someone else, in the Universe.
Melody Beattie
If somebody rejects you or your choices, you are still real, and you are still worth every bit as much as you would be if you had not been rejected.
Melody Beattie
There is honor in all work, in all tasks, but take it one step further. Make what you do a labor of love. Then your work will truly touch and change the world in the way you desire. The work you do, whatever your chosen field, will be work that heals.
Melody Beattie
Caring works. Caretaking doesn't. We can learn to walk the line between the two.
Melody Beattie
It's easy to see and notice what we like in other people. Sometimes, it's not as easy to see the attributes and beauty in ourselves. It's good to see the beauty in others. But sometimes, take a moment and get excited when you notice what's beautiful in yourself, too.
Melody Beattie
Today I will realize that I'm powerless over other people's expectations of me. I'll think about what I want and consider that how I respond to others' needs will affect the course of my life. I will own my own power and choose the course that's right for me.
Melody Beattie
Perspective will come in retrospect.
Melody Beattie
Few situations - no matter how greatly they appear to demand it - can be bettered by us going beserk.
