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.

Love means each person is free to follow his or her own heart.
Melody Beattie
Image
Today I will not wait for someone to come to my aid. I'm not helpless. Although help may come, I'm my own rescuer. My relationships will dramatically improve when I stop rescuing others and stop expecting others to rescue me.
Melody Beattie
Image
Resentments are hardened chunks of anger. They loosen up and dissolve with forgiveness and letting go.
