Let go of your expectations. The universe will do what it will. Sometimes your dreams will come true. Sometimes they won’t. Sometimes when you let go of a broken dream, another one gently takes its place. Be aware of what is, not what you would like to be, taking place.
Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.
Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable...
Today I will focus on a peaceful pace, rather than a harried one. I will keep moving forward gently, not frantically. I will let go of my need to be anxious and upset and will replace these feelings with calmness and harmony.
God, help me remember that when I admit and accept the truth, I’ll be given the power and guidance to change.
Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don’t.
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.
Love means each person is free to follow his or her own heart.
Codependents are reactionaries. They overreact. They under-react. But rarely do they act. They react to the problems, pains, lives, and behaviors of others. They react to their own problems, pains, and behaviors.
Letting go of our ideas about how life should go is a choice that sets life’s magic free.
Like it or not, i was already learning that in the worst and darkest time, I would find specks of light, moments of joy. What I didn’t want to learn was the other, harsher lesson – that in life’s brightest moments there would also be unbearable pain. p 87.
Much of the time, the things we feel guilty about are not our issues. Another person behaves inappropriately or in some way violates our boundaries. We challenge the behavior, and the person gets angry and defensive. Then we feel guilty.
No – simple to pronounce, hard to say.
We learn the magical lesson that making the most of what we have turns it into more.
Striving for excellence is a positive quality. Striving for perfection is self-defeating.
Today, 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.
Whatever we try to control does have control over us and our life.
Each life needs its own quiet place.
What’s a codependent? The answer’s easy. They’re some of the most loving, caring people I know.
Relax, you’re on a journey of discovery. Let life reveal itself to you.
