Melody Beattie quotes about
peace acceptance needs
This moment, we are right where we need to be, right where we are meant to be.
want needs discounts
When we don't ask for what we want and need, we discount ourselves.
mind needs blame
We can say what we need to say. We can gently, but assertively, speak our mind. We do not need to be judgmental, tactless, blaming or cruel when we speak our truths.
time needs time-of-need
We have as much time as we need.
needs care boundaries
Do we really have the right to take care of ourselves? Do we really have the right to set boundaries? Do we really have the right to be direct and say what we need to say? You bet we do.
needs quiet quiet-place
Each life needs its own quiet place.
Some therapists have proclaimed: 'Co-dependency is anything, and everyone is co-dependent.'
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.
self-esteem past forgiving
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.
