Additional quotes by Melody Beattie

We cannot (and have no business trying to) control anyone’s emotions, mind, or choices. We cannot control the outcome of events. We cannot control life. Some of us can barely control ourselves.

Love and closeness often bring a sense of loss of control.

We can say what we need to say. We can gently, but assertively, speak our mind. We do not need to be judgmental, tactless, blaming or cruel when we speak our truths

"You don't blast a heart open," she said. "You coax and nurture it open, like the sun does to a rose." - Melody Beattie
