Melody Beattie quotes about
change letting-go real
...Help me let go of my need to stay immersed in negativity. I can change the energy in myself and my environment from negative to positive. I will affirm the good until it sinks in and feels real. I will also strive to find one quality that I like about someone else who's important to me, and I will take the risk of telling him or her that.
men istanbul realization
A man went to Istanbul, his first visit there. On his way to a business meeting, this man lost his way. He began raging at himself for getting lost, until a realization allowed him to transcend his ire. "How can I be lost? I've never been here before?" pp 104-105

pain real grief
There's a secret to get through loss, pain and grief. If we're alone we can't see who we are. When we join the club, other people become the mirror. Through them, we see ourselves and gain an understanding of what we're going through. Then slowly, real slowly, we learn to accept who we see in the mirror. Then you become the mirror for them; by being honest about who you are, you'll help them learn to love and accept themselves.

Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain, and we take responsibility for all our feelings.

Worrying, obsessing, and controlling are illusions. They are tricks we play on ourselves.

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.
