Rest when you’re tired. Take a break when life stales. Take time to recharge your battery. Energy isn’t something you have — it’s something you are. … - Melody Beattie

other people maay be there to help us, teach us, guide us aolng our path, But the lesson to be learned is always ours

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.

God, help me pay attention to my behaviors during the process of initiating relationships. Help me take responsibility for myself and learn what I need to learn. I will trust that the people I want and need will come into my life. I understand that if a relationship is not good for me, I have the right and ability to refuse to enter into it — even though the other person thinks it may be good for him or her.
