When we're surrounded by things that look impossible, making a simple choice to do something that's possible is a powerful thing to do.
Melody BeattieToday, I will let go. I will stop trying to control everything. I will stop trying to make myself be and do better, and I will let myself be.
Melody BeattieChoosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.
Melody BeattieWe are more than our problems. Even if our problem is our own behavior, the problem is not who we are-it's what we did. It's okay to have problems. It's okay to talk about problems-at appropriate times, and with safe people. It's okay to solve problems. And we're okay, even when we have, or someone we love has a problem. We don't have to forfeit our personal power or our self-esteem. We have solved exactly the problems we've needed to solve to become who we are.
