I never know what the next lesson is going to be, because we're not supposed to know -- we're supposed to trust ourselves to discover it.
Melody BeattieGratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody BeattieI 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.
Melody Beattiethere are no knights on white horses, no magical grandmothers in the sky watching, waiting to rescue us. Teachers may come our way, but they will not rescue. They will teach. People who care will come, but they will not rescue. They will care. Help will come, but help is not rescuing. We are our own rescuers. Our relationships will improve dramatically when we stop rescuing others and stop expecting them to rescue us.
