Quote

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

Image
Embrace and love all of yourself - past, present, and future. Forgive yourself quickly and as often as necessary. Encourage yourself. Tell yourself good things about yourself.
Melody Beattie
Image
Codependents are reactionaries. They overreact. They under-react. But rarely do they act. They react to the problems, pains, lives, and behaviors of others. They react to their own problems, pains, and behaviors.
Melody Beattie
Image
Caring works. Caretaking doesn't. We can learn to walk the line between the two.
Melody Beattie
Image
Resentments are hardened chunks of anger. They loosen up and dissolve with forgiveness and letting go.
Melody Beattie
Image
What's a codependent? The answer's easy. They're some of the most loving, caring people I know.

Panic is our great enemy.

When our heart is broken, we can't hear it. And when we can't hear our heart, we can't hear God.

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
Image
Today I will practice healthy giving, understanding that caretaking and compulsive giving don't work. I choose what I want to give, to whom, when, and how much. It takes time to learn how to give in healthy ways. It takes time to learn to receive. Balance will come.

Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable.
Melody Beattie
Image
Believing that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.
Melody Beattie
Image
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
Image
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
Image
God, help me let go of my need to be afraid. I welcome peace, trust, acceptance, and safety into my life. I will make a point of listening to my healthy, rational fears, and will relinquish all the others.
Melody Beattie
Image
Nurtured, nourished people, who love themselves and care for themselves, are the delight of the Universe.

When it's too difficult to keep swimming, float.

We cannot change others, but when we change ourselves, we may end up changing the world.

Writing forces consciousness.

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.
