Martha Beck
Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it's essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.
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
Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you'll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.
Martha Beck
Any moment you spend attacking yourself is a moment away from your higher purpose and your power to love. Don't go there.
Martha Beck
When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.
Martha Beck
To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.
Martha Beck
People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.
Martha Beck
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
The part of you that is unhampered by illusion-the illusion of time, the illusion of powerlessness, the illusion of impossibility-i s waiting for you to slow down and open up so that it can speak to your consciousness. In some unguarded moment, you will hear its wildly improbable words and know that they are guiding you home.
Martha Beck
Almost all my middle-aged and elderly acquaintances, including me, feel about 25, unless we haven't had our coffee, in which case we feel 107.
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
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
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.
Martha Beck
Judgments that constrain your giving are the very demons that are keeping you from receiving.
