More quotes by Martha Beck
The holy days are the best times to focus on real enthusiasm, the inner source that lightens and sanctifies our lives all year.
Martha Beck
Make a plan to change the world. For one night, don't disbelieve that you can.
Martha Beck
You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.
Martha Beck
Most unhappy people need to learn just one lesson: how to see themselves through the lens of genuine compassion, and treat themselves accordingly.
Martha Beck
Take off your watch: the divine is speaking to you.
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
Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life it is the pathway to it.
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
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
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
Many of us have spent a lifetime trying to be what we’re not, feeling lousy about ourselves when we fail, and sometimes when we succeed. We hide our differences when, by accepting and celebrating them, we could collaborate to make every effort more exciting, productive enjoyable, and powerful. Personally, I think we should start right now.
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
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
Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else.
Martha Beck
I majored in Chinese. I was never really good at Chinese but I really, really benefited from having been exposed to Asian philosophy early in my life.
Martha Beck
Creating ways to be happy is your life's work, a challenge that won't end until you die.
Martha Beck
If you're living completely on your own, break out of solitary confinement. Seek to understand others, and help them understand you
Martha Beck
Angels come in many shapes and sizes, and most of them are not invisible.
Martha Beck
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.
