Melody Beattie Needs Quotations

Each life needs its own quiet place.

Do we really have the right to take care of ourselves? Do we really have the right to set boundaries? Do we really have the right to be direct and say what we need to say? You bet we do.

We have as much time as we need.

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.

When we don't ask for what we want and need, we discount ourselves.

This moment, we are right where we need to be, right where we are meant to be.
