Melody Beattie quotes about
life-and-love simple hands
When you wonder what is coming, tell yourself the best is coming, the very best life and love have to offer, the best God and His universe have to send. Then open your hands to receive it. It's yours.
heart mean love-means
Love means each person is free to follow his or her own heart.
people love-and-respect
The more we learn to love and respect ourselves, the more we will become attracted to people who will love and respect us and who we can safely love and respect.
appreciation love-you healing
Accept yourself. Love yourself just as you are. Your finest work, your best moments, your joy, peace, and healing come when you love yourself. You give a great gift to the world when you do that. You give others permission to do the same: to love themselves. Revel in self love. Roll in it. Bask in it, as you would the sunshine.
love-you love-yourself
Love yourself just as you are.
letting-go love-you mean
Speak your truth. Listen when others speak theirs, too. When you let go of fear, you will learn to love others, and you will let them love you. Do not be afraid of dying. But do not be afraid to live. Ask yourself what that means. Open your heart to love, for that is why you are here. And know that you are, and always have been One with Me and all who live.
likely love
I used to be afraid of pain, didn't take a lot of risks, especially in love. I'm not as afraid anymore. I'm more spontaneous, more likely to say what I think.
Some therapists have proclaimed: 'Co-dependency is anything, and everyone is co-dependent.'
inspirational thanksgiving thankful
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.
happiness thank-you thanksgiving
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
letting-go knowing trying
Today I will stop trying to control my relationships. I will participate at a reasonable level and let the other person do the same. I can let go, knowing that the relationship will find its own life-or not-and that I don't have to do all the work, only my share.
doe heal who-you-are
Who you are is love. What love does is heal.
play worry illusion
Worrying, obsessing, and controlling are illusions. They are tricks we play on ourselves.
letting-go resentment hardened
Resentments are hardened chunks of anger. They loosen up and dissolve with forgiveness and letting go.
