More quotes by Melody Beattie
Love means each person is free to follow his or her own heart.
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
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.

... 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

Melody Beattie
Money is not evil. There is no scarcity, except in our mind and attitudes. And what we believe we deserve will be about what we shall receive.
Melody Beattie
Caring works. Caretaking doesn't. We can learn to walk the line between the two.
Melody Beattie
The lesson I was learning involved the idea that I could feel compassion for people without acting on it.
Melody Beattie
Anger is a warning signal. It points to problems.
Melody Beattie
Few situations - no matter how greatly they appear to demand it - can be bettered by us going beserk.
Melody Beattie
What's a codependent? The answer's easy. They're some of the most loving, caring people I know.
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
Believing that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.
