Are you balanced? Do you share your time, your energy, your life, as much with yourself as you do with those around you?. . . . Know your limits. You are one of the most important people you need to look after and love. Balance your time, your energy, your life with those around you. You'll be able to give more freely and joyfully as a result, and you'll be more open to the gifts of the universe. It's not wrong to give to others. But it's okay to say yes to ourselves, too.

More Quotes by Melody Beattie
I used to spend so much time reacting and responding to everyone else that my life had no direction. Other people's lives, problems, and wants set the course for my life. Once I realized it was okay for me to think about and identify what I wanted, remarkable things began to take place in my life.
I never know what the next lesson is going to be, because we're not supposed to know -- we're supposed to trust ourselves to discover it.
Caring works. Caretaking doesn't. We can learn to walk the line between the two.
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.
Love yourself just as you are.
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.
Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable.
Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.
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.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
