More quotes by Melody Beattie
I gave three years of my life to take care of my dying mother who had Alzheimer's disease. Being there for her every need for three years might have looked codependent but it wasn't because it was what I wanted to do.
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
Today, I will focus on having a good relationship with myself.
Melody Beattie
Today, I will let go. I will stop trying to control everything. I will stop trying to make myself be and do better, and I will let myself be.
Melody Beattie
It's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong. It takes practice to see what's right.
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 stop trying to control my relationships. I will participate at a reasonable level and let the other person do the same. I can let go, knowing that the relationship will find its own life-or not-and that I don't have to do all the work, only my share.
Melody Beattie
Gratitude helps us stop trying to control outcomes. It is the key that unlocks positive energy in our life. It is the alchemy that turns problems into blessings, and the unexpected into gifts.
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
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.
Melody Beattie
Codependents are reactionaries. They overreact. They under-react. But rarely do they act. They react to the problems, pains, lives, and behaviors of others. They react to their own problems, pains, and behaviors.
Melody Beattie
Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.
Melody Beattie
Perspective will come in retrospect.
Melody Beattie
God loves me enough to let me go through all the lessons I came here to learn, even the ones that hurt the most. His presence doesn't deny me. It's always there to help me see and understand what I came to this planet to learn.
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
We have as much time as we need.

Beliefs create reality
Melody Beattie
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
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.
