More quotes by Martha Beck
Imagine the choices you'd make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval.
Martha Beck
Many people think passion is a fuzzy feeling that makes taking action effortless. In fact, it's the gritty courage and tenacity to forge onward.
Martha Beck
Where your attention goes, your life goes.
Martha Beck
You get social pressure from your parents, who teach you to pay attention to certain things and not to others. You get it in school.
Martha Beck
As much horror as we have always created, we are a species that keeps moving forward, seeing new sights in new ways, and enjoying the journey.
Martha Beck
External circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.
Martha Beck
When fear makes your choices for you, no security measures on earth will keep the things you dread from finding you. But if you can avoid avoidance - if you can choose to embrace experiences out of passion, enthusiasm, and a readiness to feel whatever arises - then nothing, nothing in all this dangerous world, can keep you from being safe.
Martha Beck
Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury.
Martha Beck
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
Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.
Martha Beck
The part of you that is unhampered by illusion-the illusion of time, the illusion of powerlessness, the illusion of impossibility-i s waiting for you to slow down and open up so that it can speak to your consciousness. In some unguarded moment, you will hear its wildly improbable words and know that they are guiding you home.
Martha Beck
If your life is cloudy and you're far, far off course, you may have to go on faith for a while, but eventually you'll learn that every time you trust your internal navigation system, you end up closer to your right life.
Martha Beck
The idea is to identify a destructive thought pattern, then simply label it and watch it and let it pass by whenever it appears in your mind.
Martha Beck
The holy days are the best times to focus on real enthusiasm, the inner source that lightens and sanctifies our lives all year.
Martha Beck
Just one mental shift-focusing on the abundance of your environment-switches your psychological settings so that your life automatically improves in many areas you may think are unrelated. This is essentially a leap from fear to faith.
Martha Beck
The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.
Martha Beck
A joyful life isn’t about others it’s about the brightness that is associated with being alive. Your path to it is through anything that replaces thinking with pure flight, pure joy.
Martha Beck
Many of us assume that we have to do things a certain way: ignore passion in favor of safer bets, act stoic amid inner turmoil, run on an upward trajectory of success and money acquisition at any emotional cost. But these are not rules.
Martha Beck
Remember, intimacy increases with honesty. Share less to keep people away and more to draw them closer.
Martha Beck
Use anything you can think of to understand and be understood, and you'll discover the creativity that connects you with others.
