More quotes by Martha Beck
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.
Martha Beck
Peace is more than just a feeling. It's the mental and physical frequency where you'll find all your real power.
Martha Beck
Do whatever it takes to convey your essential self.
Martha Beck
In one century, we've added 28 years to our average life span - a change so rapid that our brains couldn't possibly have evolved to accommodate it.
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
As any good Buddhist will tell you, the only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent.
Martha Beck
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
Remember, intimacy increases with honesty. Share less to keep people away and more to draw them closer.
Martha Beck
The heart is a tender but hardy organ. Daring to have a wonderful experience, even though you may get hurt, is the only way you'll realize its deepest desires.
Martha Beck
People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.
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
Any moment you spend attacking yourself is a moment away from your higher purpose and your power to love. Don't go there.
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
If you think there is no action that you can perform in your current circumstances that will increase the supply of love in the world, you are believing a lie. At the very least, you always have the option to offer yourself kindness and understanding. That alone can increase the supply of love in the world.
Martha Beck
Every day brings new choices.
Martha Beck
Menders of all times and places have taught that silencing the thoughts in our heads and opening to the experience of the body and emotions is the basis of all healing. It's the only means by which we can reclaim our true nature or feel the subtle cues telling us how to find our way through life.
Martha Beck
Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.
Martha Beck
Constantly measuring ourselves against others sours and shortens our lives, robbing us of the very things we think it will bring: prosperity, love, inner peace, the knowledge that we’re good enough.
Martha Beck
To make an activity joyful, keep adding things until the activity as a whole becomes more appealing than repulsing.
Martha Beck
If you're living completely on your own, break out of solitary confinement. Seek to understand others, and help them understand you
