The repercussions of one person living in stubborn gladness are incalculable.

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.

All religious leaders and spiritual teachers emphasize finding a place within us that is true. People who obsessively follow these leaders instead of their own purpose attach to the spiritual leader and become fanatical and controlling.

Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you'll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.

I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way.
Martha Beck
Image
No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.
Martha Beck
Image
Use anything you can think of to understand and be understood, and you'll discover the creativity that connects you with others.
Martha Beck
Image
Don’t worry that you’ve wasted time. Each moment -- no matter how frozen or confused -- was a useful and necessary lesson.
Martha Beck
Image
To care for someone can mean to adore them, feed them, tend their wounds. But care can also signify sorrow, as in bowed down by cares. Or anxiety, as in Careful! Or investment in an outcome, as in Who cares? The word love has no such range of meaning: It's pure acceptance.
Martha Beck
Image
Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else.
Martha Beck
Image
