Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.
Martha Beck
Image
Peace is more than just a feeling. It's the mental and physical frequency where you'll find all your real power.
Martha Beck
Image
You do not owe anyone your time. When you realize that, others will respect your time much more.
Martha Beck
Image
The end goal of all of this striving is to live joyfully, and that there are often more direct ways of achieving this than conforming to rigid standards set by social custom.
Martha Beck
Image
Play until it's time to rest, then rest until it's time to play.
Martha Beck
Image
Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life it is the pathway to it.

Image
I'd like to help repair the earth's ecosystems, and to fully live until I'm fully dead.
Martha Beck
Image
In the moments I get it right, every step I take seems to be matched by a universal mystery, which obligingly, incredibly, creates what I can't.

Image
Welcoming imperfection is the way to accomplish what perfectionism promises but never delivers. It gives us our best performance and genuine acceptance in the family of human -- and by that I mean imperfect -- beings.

Image
During the times we think we’re being “unproductive,” the seeds of new worlds are germinating within us, and they need peace to grow.

Image
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
Image
The important thing is to tell yourself a life story in which you, the hero, are primarily a problem solver rather than a helpless victim. This is well within your power, whatever fate might have dealt you.
Martha Beck
Image
If you want to end your isolation, you must be honest about what you want at a core level and decide to go after it.
Martha Beck
Image
This is the part of us that makes our brief, improbable little lives worth living: the ability to reach through our own isolation and find strength, and comfort, and warmth for and in each other. This is what human beings do. This is what we live for, the way horses live to run.
Martha Beck
Image
My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.
Martha Beck
Image
Feel about yourself what you would have others feel about themselves.
Martha Beck
Image
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.
Martha Beck
Image
Learning to let go of expectations is a ticket to peace. It allows us to ride over every crisis—small or large, brother-in-law or end-of-quarter office lockdown—like a beach ball on water. The next time a problem arises in your life, take a deep breath, let out a sigh, and replace the thought Oh no! with the thought Okay.

I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.

Imagine the choices you'd make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval.
