Melody Beattie quotes about
moving responsibility movement
Life is always moving, changing, shifting into its next shape. The movement is natural. It is how we evolve. Let the shifts happen. Take responsibility for yourself each step of the way. Trust the new shape and form of your world
art moving practice
Today I will surrender to discipline. I realize that sometimes it takes time to see the fruits of my labors, yet I still need to practice discipline. Help me to remember, God, that I'm moving forward, and that I'm learning the very important art of discipline.
letting-go moving focus
Today I will focus on a peaceful pace, rather than a harried one. I will keep moving forward gently, not frantically. I will let go of my need to be anxious and upset and will replace these feelings with calmness and harmony.
moving joy today
Today I will simply accept. I will relinquish the need to be in resistance to myself and my environment in any way. I will move forward in joy by accepting where I am right now.
Some therapists have proclaimed: 'Co-dependency is anything, and everyone is co-dependent.'

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.
gratitude fullness-of-life being-thankful
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
journey emotional rich
We are on a very rich emotional and physical journey on this planet.
prayer life-changing miracle
Prayer changes things. Prayer changes us. Prayer changes life. Sometimes an event has been manifested that needs to be stopped, midair. Don't pray just when you're in trouble. Pray every day. Surround yourself with prayer. You never know when you might need an extra miracle.
