Trying to motivate yourself with fear is like screaming at a child, “Do something, dammit!” You’ll either freeze up or act in counterproducti ve ways. Fear widens the knowing-doing gap. Don’t use it.

Peace is more than just a feeling. It's the mental and physical frequency where you'll find all your real power.
Martha Beck

There has never been, and never will be, anyone who sees, thinks, or responds exactly the way you do. Whether you’re revolutionizing physics or making a quilt, you must display your differences to make a difference.

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.
Martha Beck
Image
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.

People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.

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.

Anyone who comes into your life, under any circumstances, has something to teach you.
Martha Beck

Judgments that constrain your giving are the very demons that are keeping you from receiving.
Martha Beck
Image
Forcing yourself to think happy lies doesn't heal your dreams. Getting to the truth does.
Martha Beck
Image
To make an activity joyful, keep adding things until the activity as a whole becomes more appealing than repulsing.

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. That's why Jesus tried to tell his followers not to get attached to outward form.

You're exactly where you're meant to be, meandering along a crooked path.
