Sometimes a psychic tells you something and it feels wrong and others may be right on the money. It's your choice about whom to trust, and giving that trust is something we do ourselves.
Martha Beck
Image
To live a life that is wrong for you is a form of dying. There are people who have lives that look perfect. They try to be happy, they believe they should be happy, they are trying to like it, but if it's off course from their north star, they aren't satisfied.

Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.
Martha Beck

Martha Beck
Image
Be brave enough to turn away from shiny objects, and toward the light that makes them shine.
Martha Beck
Image
What should you do now? Find a new way. A better way. Your way. The unknown, uncharted path through this wild new world that allows you---yourself, in your uniqueness--to reclaim the full measure of your true nature.
Martha Beck
Image
Anyone who comes into your life, under any circumstances, has something to teach you.
Martha Beck
Image
People don’t cry when they lose their hope. They cry when they get it back.
Martha Beck
Image
Question every thought that causes suffering and test it against your own sense of truth.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
In the pursuit of Knowledge, every day something is added. In the practice of the Way, every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to force things, until finally you arrive at non-action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
Martha Beck
Image
Almost all my middle-aged and elderly acquaintances, including me, feel about 25, unless we haven't had our coffee, in which case we feel 107.
Martha Beck
Image
A true leader is not someone who feels fully informed but someone who continuously receives insight and guidance.

Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury.
