More Quotes by Melody Beattie
I pray for faith that my future will be good if I live today well, and in peace. I will remember that staying in the present is the best thing I can do for my future. I will focus on what’s happening now instead of what’s going to happen tomorrow.
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
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
Boundaries emerge from deep within. They are connected to letting go of guilt and shame, and to changing our beliefs about what we deserve. As our thinking about this becomes clearer, so will our boundaries. Boundaries are also connected to a Higher Timing than our own. We’ll set a limit when we’re ready, and not a moment before. So will others. There’s something magical about reaching that point of becoming ready to set a limit. We know we mean what we say; others take us seriously too. Things change, not because we’re controlling others, but because we’ve changed.
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's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong. It takes practice to see what's right.
Striving for excellence is a positive quality. Striving for perfection is self-defeating.
Today, I will focus on what's right about me. I will give myself some of the caring I've extended to the world.
Letting go of our ideas about how life should go is a choice that sets life's magic free.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
