More Quotes by Melody Beattie
Today, I will focus on what's right about me. I will give myself some of the caring I've extended to the world.
Today I will let go of my need for approval and my need to be liked. Instead, I will choose to like and approve of myself. The people who count (including me) will respect me when I'm true to who I really am.
Love means each person is free to follow his or her own heart.
Letting go of our ideas about how life should go is a choice that sets life's magic free.
Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.
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.
We don't just get our choice; we get the consequence that choice creates.
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.
Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.
