More Quotes by Melody Beattie
Love yourself just as you are.
I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn.
Live your life from your heart. Share from your heart. And your story will touch and heal people's souls.
Today, I will focus on what's right about me. I will give myself some of the caring I've extended to the world.
Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable.
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.
Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.
It's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong. It takes practice to see what's right.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Gratitude makes things right.
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.
