Image
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.

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
To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.
Martha Beck

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

People don’t cry when they lose their hope. They cry when they get it back.
Martha Beck
Image
Forcing yourself to think happy lies doesn't heal your dreams. Getting to the truth does.

Just one mental shift-focusing on the abundance of your environment-switches your psychological settings so that your life automatically improves in many areas you may think are unrelated. This is essentially a leap from fear to faith.
Martha Beck
Image
I have come to believe that there are infinite passageways out of the shadows, infinite vehicles to transport us into the light.

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
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
The past doesn’t exist except as a memory, a mental story, and though past events aren’t changeable, your stories about them are. You can act now to transform the way you tell the story of your past, ultimately making it a stalwart protector of your future.

Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
Imagine what you'd do if it absolutely didn't matter what people thought of you. Got it? Good. Never go back.
Martha Beck
Image
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.

I want you to notice is that-right here, right now-you’re okay. You may be in pain, you may be in fear, you may be in grief. But you’re here, you’re surviving this moment is okay.
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

Where your attention goes, your life goes.

Image
If a problem looks difficult, relax. If it looks impossible, relax even more. Then begin encouraging small changes, putting just enough pressure on yourself to move one turtle step forward. Then rest, savor, celebrate. Then step again. You’ll find that slow is fast, gentle is powerful, and stillness moves mountains.

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.
