God loves me enough to let me go through all the lessons I came here to learn, even the ones that hurt the most. His presence doesn't deny me. It's always there to help me see and understand what I came to this planet to learn.

More quotes by Melody Beattie
Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.
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
When it's too difficult to keep swimming, float.
Melody Beattie
It's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong. It takes practice to see what's right.
Melody Beattie

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

If that person doesn't want to be in your life, just let him or her leave.
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
Seek healing, a refilling of energy and spirit, as soon as you see that you need it. You don't have to push yourself to give, do, or perform when what your body, mind, soul and emotions need is to heal.
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
Life is always moving, changing, shifting into its next shape. The movement is natural. It is how we evolve. Let the shifts happen. Take responsibility for yourself each step of the way. Trust the new shape and form of your world
Melody Beattie
The lesson I was learning involved the idea that I could feel compassion for people without acting on it.
Melody Beattie
Perspective will come in retrospect.
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
Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain, and we take responsibility for all our feelings.
Melody Beattie
You don't blast a heart open, she said. You coax and nurture it open, like the sun does to a rose.
Melody Beattie
A codependent person is one who has let another person's behavior affect him or her and who is obsessed with controlling that person's behavior.
Melody Beattie
Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable.
