You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.
Martha Beck
Image
Somewhere in there, among the worries, questions, advice and advertising jingles, lives your intuition, your true 'inner voice.' You can hear it to the extent that you give it your attention.

Forcing yourself to think happy lies doesn't heal your dreams. Getting to the truth does.
Martha Beck
Image
Remember that it’s okay to ask for help when you’re stumped, because sometimes you really can’t be expected to handle everything alone.
Martha Beck
Image
As any good Buddhist will tell you, the only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent.
Martha Beck
Image
To be really productive, it's as important to rest when we're tired as it is to work when we're inspired.
Martha Beck
Image
Recurrent floods of sadness and anger gradually wash away the rubble of the defunct relationship, leaving only the bits of treasure: the remembered moments of real communion, a new understanding of your own mistakes, a clear picture of the dysfunctions you will never tolerate again.
Martha Beck
Image
Tiny steps will get you to your goal months and months sooner. A little is better than a lot.
Martha Beck
Image
People don’t cry when they lose their hope. They cry when they get it back.
Martha Beck
Image
Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life it is the pathway to it.
Martha Beck
Image
Judgments that constrain your giving are the very demons that are keeping you from receiving.
