This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.
Martha Beck
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.
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
You do not owe anyone your time. When you realize that, others will respect your time much more.
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
Trust in your truth. It will be the best decision you ever make.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
Don’t hide love. If you feel it, express it-not to demand that others love you back, but simply to live outwardly the best of what you feel inwardly. The worst that can happen to your heart is not rejection by another person but failure to act on the love you feel.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
Though we often see life troughs as the universe's conspiracy to ruin us, they're actually our own true nature inviting us to lay down our weary heads.
Martha Beck
Image
Feel about yourself what you would have others feel about themselves.
Martha Beck
Image
If you did nothing but pursue the truth about yourself for the rest of your life, you would never run out of fresh discoveries.
Martha Beck
Image
Make stuff up. Anyone who ever did something new or interesting was making it up as they went along.
Martha Beck
Image
A joyful life isn’t about others it’s about the brightness that is associated with being alive. Your path to it is through anything that replaces thinking with pure flight, pure joy.
Martha Beck
Image
Anyone who comes into your life, under any circumstances, has something to teach you.
Martha Beck
Image
It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.
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
Do whatever work feeds your true self, even if it’s not a safe bet, even if it’s like a crazy risk, even if everyone in your life tells you you’re wrong or bad or crazy.
Martha Beck
Image
Many people think passion is a fuzzy feeling that makes taking action effortless. In fact, it's the gritty courage and tenacity to forge onward.
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.
