The shortness of life, which we all discuss, but which is very clear to me at the moment, makes keeping and spreading a joyful peace more crucial than ever before. Let us keep our minds on what matters, which is our work, which is astonishment and gratitude. From this quiet magic comes a power for all other new years wishes to come true.

Image
Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.
Martha Beck
Image
Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.
Martha Beck
Image
If you're miserable, make a choice. If you're still miserable, you can choose again.

Take off your watch: the divine is speaking to you.
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
Anything you're trying to will is focused on the future it's always associated with some sort of anxiety that makes the present moment somewhat uncomfortable.
Martha Beck
Image
Most of our stress and suffering come not from events, but from our thoughts. Reframe from negative thoughts, and stress subsides.
Martha Beck
Image
Use anything you can think of to understand and be understood, and you'll discover the creativity that connects you with others.

As any good Buddhist will tell you, the only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent.
