The more we learn to love and respect ourselves, the more we will become attracted to people who will love and respect us and who we can safely love and respect.
Melody Beattie

Today I will not wait for someone to come to my aid. I'm not helpless. Although help may come, I'm my own rescuer. My relationships will dramatically improve when I stop rescuing others and stop expecting others to rescue me.
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

Remember to be kind. Remember to be loving. Remember to feel all your feelings and to take care of yourself. But most of all, remember to be happy.
Melody Beattie
Image
Believing that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.
Melody Beattie
Image
Today I will learn to reject shame. Shame is an overwhelming sense that who I am isn't good enough. I realize that I am good enough, and that my imperfections are part of being human. I let go of shame.
Melody Beattie
Image
Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
Melody Beattie
Image
Few situations - no matter how greatly they appear to demand it - can be bettered by us going beserk.
Melody Beattie
Image
Striving for excellence is a positive quality. Striving for perfection is self-defeating.
Melody Beattie
Image
What's a codependent? The answer's easy. They're some of the most loving, caring people I know.
Melody Beattie
Image
You don't blast a heart open, she said. You coax and nurture it open, like the sun does to a rose.

I pray for faith that my future will be good if I live today well, and in peace. I will remember that staying in the present is the best thing I can do for my future. I will focus on what’s happening now instead of what’s going to happen tomorrow.
