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
Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.
Melody Beattie
Panic is our great enemy.
Melody Beattie
Embrace and love all of yourself - past, present, and future. Forgive yourself quickly and as often as necessary. Encourage yourself. Tell yourself good things about yourself.
Melody Beattie
