No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.
Martha Beck
Image
Where your attention goes, your life goes.
Martha Beck
Image
Don’t worry that you’ve wasted time. Each moment -- no matter how frozen or confused -- was a useful and necessary lesson.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.
Martha Beck
Image
Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else.
Martha Beck
Image
Perpetually doing, without ever tuning in to the center of our being, is the equivalent of fueling a mighty ship by tossing all its navigational equipment into the furnace.
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.
Martha Beck
Image
Most people go through their whole lives, John went on, and never have one miracle happen to them. You've had dozens and dozens, and you still want more! It's like God gives you a brownie, I mean a really good brownie, but you can't be content with it. You want the whole pan of brownies. Nobody gets that.

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.
Martha Beck
Image
Peace is more than just a feeling. It's the mental and physical frequency where you'll find all your real power.
Martha Beck
Image
Creating ways to be happy is your life's work, a challenge that won't end until you die.
Martha Beck
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
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.
Martha Beck
Image
I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way.
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.

Criticism is an alluring substitute for creation, because tearing things down, unlike building them up, really is as easy as falling off a stump. It's blissfully simple to strike a savvy, sophisticated pose by attacking someone else's creations, but the old adage is right: Any fool can burn down a barn. Building one is something else again.
Martha Beck
Image
Remember that it’s okay to ask for help when you’re stumped, because sometimes you really can’t be expected to handle everything alone.
Martha Beck
Image
I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.

To care for someone can mean to adore them, feed them, tend their wounds. But care can also signify sorrow, as in bowed down by cares. Or anxiety, as in Careful! Or investment in an outcome, as in Who cares? The word love has no such range of meaning: It's pure acceptance.
