More quotes by Melody Beattie
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Melody Beattie
It's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong. It takes practice to see what's right.
Melody Beattie
Whatever we try to control does have control over us and our life.
Melody Beattie
Today I will tell myself that I'm lovable. Just because some people haven't been able to love me in ways that worked doesn't mean that I'm unlovable. I've had lessons to learn, and some of them have hurt deeply, but I can still love, and I still am loved.
Melody Beattie
Striving for excellence is a positive quality. Striving for perfection is self-defeating.
Melody Beattie
When it's too difficult to keep swimming, float.
Melody Beattie
Sometimes, we don't get what we want. . . But this is a benevolent universe. And once in a while, we do.
Melody Beattie
Like it or not, i was already learning that in the worst and darkest time, I would find specks of light, moments of joy. What I didn't want to learn was the other, harsher lesson - that in life's brightest moments there would also be unbearable pain. p 87
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
Panic is our great enemy.
Melody Beattie
Today I will refuse to jump into the middle of others' affairs, issues, and relationships. I will trust others to work out their own problems, including the ideas and feelings they want to communicate to each other.
Melody Beattie
... I've learned that I have many, many soul mates here, and they come to me at the right time and in the right place. They come to help me when I'm lost, and each comes with different sets of lessons for me -- usually, always, my most intense lessons -- the ones my soul came here to learn.
Melody Beattie
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
Be patient. Relax and trust. Let go. Then, let go some more.
Melody Beattie
Panic, not the task, is the enemy.
Melody Beattie
Today I will focus on a peaceful pace, rather than a harried one. I will keep moving forward gently, not frantically. I will let go of my need to be anxious and upset and will replace these feelings with calmness and harmony.
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
Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.
Melody Beattie
Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. It is not forever, it is for the present moment
Melody Beattie
Control is an illusion.
