More quotes by Melody Beattie
Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain, and we take responsibility for all our feelings.
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
Goals give us direction. They put a powerful force into play on a universal, conscious, and subconscious level. Goals give our life direction.
Melody Beattie
... 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
I pray for faith that my future will be good if I live today well, and in peace. I will remember that staying in the present is the best thing I can do for my future. I will focus on what’s happening now instead of what’s going to happen tomorrow.
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
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
Caring works. Caretaking doesn't. We can learn to walk the line between the two.
Melody Beattie
We cannot change others, but when we change ourselves, we may end up changing the world.
Melody Beattie
The lesson I was learning involved the idea that I could feel compassion for people without acting on it.
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
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.
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
We have as much time as we need.
Melody Beattie
...Help me let go of my need to stay immersed in negativity. I can change the energy in myself and my environment from negative to positive. I will affirm the good until it sinks in and feels real. I will also strive to find one quality that I like about someone else who's important to me, and I will take the risk of telling him or her that.
Melody Beattie
When it's too difficult to keep swimming, float.
Melody Beattie
Worrying, obsessing, and controlling are illusions. They are tricks we play on ourselves.
Melody Beattie
Be patient. Relax and trust. Let go. Then, let go some more.
Melody Beattie
Gratitude can turn a meal into a feast.
Melody Beattie
If that person doesn't want to be in your life, just let him or her leave.
