More quotes by Melody Beattie
...the pain that comes from loving someone who's in trouble can be profound.
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.
Melody Beattie
Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. It is not forever, it is for the present moment
Melody Beattie
Anger is a warning signal. It points to problems.
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
Our best problem-solving resource is peace. Solutions arise easily and naturally out of a peaceful state.
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
We see and understand more about our behaviors. We come aware. And aware. And aware. . . Often, we feel uncertain about what to do with all this awareness.
Melody Beattie
What's a codependent? The answer's easy. They're some of the most loving, caring people I know.
Melody Beattie
Today I will focus on a peaceful pace, rather than a harried one. I will keep moving forward gently, not frantically. I will let go of my need to be anxious and upset and will replace these feelings with calmness and harmony.
Melody Beattie
If that person doesn't want to be in your life, just let him or her leave.
Melody Beattie
Beliefs create reality
Melody Beattie
Arranging for and allowing ourselves to have fun is an important part of taking care of ourselves. It helps us stay healthy. It helps us work better. It balances life. We deserve to have fun. Fun is a normal part of being alive. Fun is taking time to celebrate being alive.
Melody Beattie
Few situations - no matter how greatly they appear to demand it - can be bettered by us going beserk.
Melody Beattie
When our heart is broken, we can't hear it. And when we can't hear our heart, we can't hear God.
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
Today, I will focus on having a good relationship with myself.
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.
