Believing that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.
Melody Beattie
Image
Expressing passion and gratitude will guide your life. Say it again and again. Say it until you believe it. Say it until you live it.
Melody Beattie
Image
Do we really have the right to take care of ourselves? Do we really have the right to set boundaries? Do we really have the right to be direct and say what we need to say? You bet we do.
Melody Beattie

Guilt can prevent us from setting the boundaries that would be in our best interests, and in other peoples best interests.
Melody Beattie
Image
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.

Anger is a warning signal. It points to problems.
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
Image
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

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.

Image
You don't blast a heart open, she said. You coax and nurture it open, like the sun does to a rose.
Melody Beattie
Image
Love yourself just as you are.
Melody Beattie
Image
Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain, and we take responsibility for all our feelings.
Melody Beattie
Image
Our best problem-solving resource is peace. Solutions arise easily and naturally out of a peaceful state.
