We have as much time as we need.

Gratitude helps us stop trying to control outcomes. It is the key that unlocks positive energy in our life. It is the alchemy that turns problems into blessings, and the unexpected into gifts.

A codependent person is one who has let another person's behavior affect him or her and who is obsessed with controlling that person's behavior.

It's our job to first make ourselves feel better and then make ourselves feel good.

Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible-controlling that which we cannot-and instead, focus on what is possible-which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible.

We need to build downtime into our lives, so that we can have solitude without feeling overcome with guilt.

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
