Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain, and we take responsibility for all our feelings.
Melody BeattieWhen 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 BeattieGratitude 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.
Melody BeattieBelieving that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.
