More quotes by Martha Beck
The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.
Martha Beck
Good fortune has side effects.
Martha Beck
If your life is cloudy and you're far, far off course, you may have to go on faith for a while, but eventually you'll learn that every time you trust your internal navigation system, you end up closer to your right life.
Martha Beck
Where your attention goes, your life goes.
Martha Beck
Ten bajillion product ads notwithstanding, your looks are another thing that's basically genetic.
Martha Beck
To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.
Martha Beck
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.
Martha Beck

Martha Beck
Learning to spot narcissists and deal with their destructive behavior can save you the world of hurt that awaits anyone who mistakes the near enemy for a friend.
Martha Beck
When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.
Martha Beck
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.
Martha Beck
External circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.
Martha Beck
Don't let your life revolve around whatever you're trying not to do or feel. Live to experience, not to avoid.
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
All religious leaders and spiritual teachers emphasize finding a place within us that is true. People who obsessively follow these leaders instead of their own purpose attach to the spiritual leader and become fanatical and controlling. That's why Jesus tried to tell his followers not to get attached to outward form.
Martha Beck
You get social pressure from your parents, who teach you to pay attention to certain things and not to others. You get it in school.
Martha Beck
If you begin to face your fears, something bittersweet is going to happen to you: You'll grow up.
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.
