Martha Beck
When you are in a creative or appreciative zone, you literally have no access to your inner lizard, to that fear-based, non creative, shrieking little beasty who's so afraid you're going to be a bag lady.
Martha Beck
Ten bajillion product ads notwithstanding, your looks are another thing that's basically genetic.
Martha Beck
I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way.
Martha Beck
There has never been, and never will be, anyone who sees, thinks, or responds exactly the way you do. Whether you’re revolutionizing physics or making a quilt, you must display your differences to make a difference.
Martha Beck
I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.
Martha Beck
Be brave enough to turn away from shiny objects, and toward the light that makes them shine.
Martha Beck
It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.
Martha Beck
If you want to end your isolation, you must be honest about what you want at a core level and decide to go after it.
Martha Beck
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
Peace is more than just a feeling. It's the mental and physical frequency where you'll find all your real power.
