Learn the words: I feel. Let others say those words and learn to listen — not fix — when they do. We - Melody Beattie

We will face and deal with reality — on our own time schedule, when we are ready, and in our Higher Power’s timing. We do not have to accept chastisement from anyone, including ourselves, for this schedule. We will know what we need to know, when it’s time to know it.

We can confuse love with dependency, manipulation, and neediness. None of those are love. Love is when we want other people to be who they are.

Others do not have our magic. We have our magic. It is in us.
