Real Power Comes When We Stop Holding

We Can Stop Picking On Ourselves For Picking On Ourselveswe Can Cherish Ourselves And Our Lives. We Can Nuture Ourselves And Love Ourselves. We Can Accept Our Wonderful Selves, With All Our Faults, Foibles, Strong Points, Weak Points, Feelings, Thoughts, And Everything Else. It's The Best Thing We've Got Going For Us. It's Who We Are, And Who We Were Meant To Be. And It's Not A Mistake. We Are The Greatest Thing That Will Ever Happen To Us. Believe It. It Makes Life Much Easier.

Arranging For And Allowing Ourselves To Have Fun Is An Important Part Of Taking Care Of Ourselves. It Helps Us Stay Healthy. It Helps Us Work Better. It Balances Life. We Deserve To Have Fun. Fun Is A Normal Part Of Being Alive. Fun Is Taking Time To Celebrate Being Alive.

We Have As Much Time As We Need.

Control Is An Illusion.

Gratitude Isn't A Tool To Manipulate The Universe Or God. It's A Way To Acknowledge Our Faith That Everything Happens For A Reason Even If We Don't Know What That Reason Is. ~melody Beattie, 52 Weeks Of Conscious Contact, Pg. 34.
