More quotes by Martha Beck
Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it's essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.
Martha Beck
The way to find your own North Star is not to think or feel your way forward but to dissolve the thoughts and feeling that make you miserable. You don't have to learn your destiny--you already know it you just have to unlearn the thoughts that blind you to what you know.
Martha Beck
A confession you make merely to illuminate the murky corners of your little life may end up lighting the path to freedom for a thousand other hearts.
Martha Beck
If you feel stuck in your present life, if you feel no enthusiasm for anything, if you think you have no purpose or that you lost that purpose somewhere along the way, I guarantee you are living in a dungeon made of stories. And that none of those limiting stories are true.
Martha Beck
Forcing yourself to think happy lies doesn't heal your dreams. Getting to the truth does.
Martha Beck
Truth itself is something you live, not something you think.
Martha Beck
If you ask people, as I often do, how they make decisions, 'lucky' people will talk about tuning in to information and instincts, while 'unlucky' people often mention pushing away the uncomfortable feeling they were headed for trouble.
Martha Beck
Anything you're trying to will is focused on the future it's always associated with some sort of anxiety that makes the present moment somewhat uncomfortable.
Martha Beck
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
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
If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.
Martha Beck
When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.
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
Play until it's time to rest, then rest until it's time to play.
Martha Beck
Judgments that constrain your giving are the very demons that are keeping you from receiving.
Martha Beck
No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.
Martha Beck
When you are in a creative or appreciative zone, you literally have no access to your inner lizard, to that fear-based, non creative, shrieking little beasty who's so afraid you're going to be a bag lady.
Martha Beck
At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.
Martha Beck
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.
Martha Beck
Perpetually doing, without ever tuning in to the center of our being, is the equivalent of fueling a mighty ship by tossing all its navigational equipment into the furnace.
