More quotes by Melody Beattie
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
Let go of your expectations. The universe will do what it will. Sometimes your dreams will come true. Sometimes they won't. Sometimes when you let go of a broken dream, another one gently takes its place. Be aware of what is, not what you would like to be, taking place.
Melody Beattie

Melody Beattie
Perspective will come in retrospect.
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
Caring works. Caretaking doesn't. We can learn to walk the line between the two.
Melody Beattie
Today I will learn to reject shame. Shame is an overwhelming sense that who I am isn't good enough. I realize that I am good enough, and that my imperfections are part of being human. I let go of shame.
Melody Beattie
Nurtured, nourished people, who love themselves and care for themselves, are the delight of the Universe.
Melody Beattie
We cannot change others, but when we change ourselves, we may end up changing the world.
Melody Beattie
If somebody rejects you or your choices, you are still real, and you are still worth every bit as much as you would be if you had not been rejected.
Melody Beattie
Much of the time, the things we feel guilty about are not our issues. Another person behaves inappropriately or in some way violates our boundaries. We challenge the behavior, and the person gets angry and defensive. Then we feel guilty.
Melody Beattie
Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. It is not forever, it is for the present moment
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.
