More Quotes by Melody Beattie
We don't just get our choice; we get the consequence that choice creates.
Quit hanging on to the handrails . . . Let go. Surrender. Go for the ride of your life. Do it every day.
It's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong. It takes practice to see what's right.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Let go of your expectations. The universe will do what it will. Sometimes your dreams will come true. Sometimes they won't. Sometimes when you let go of a broken dream, another one gently takes its place. Be aware of what is, not what you would like to be, taking place.
I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn.
Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.
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.
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.
Striving for excellence is a positive quality. Striving for perfection is self-defeating.
