More Quotes by Melody Beattie
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.
Whatever we try to control does have control over us and our life.
Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.
Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.
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.
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.
Letting go of our ideas about how life should go is a choice that sets life's magic free.
Today, I will focus on what's right about me. I will give myself some of the caring I've extended to the world.
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.
Live your life from your heart. Share from your heart. And your story will touch and heal people's souls.
