More quotes by Martha Beck
My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.
Martha Beck
People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.
Martha Beck
Question every thought that causes suffering and test it against your own sense of truth.
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
To be really productive, it's as important to rest when we're tired as it is to work when we're inspired.
Martha Beck
No one else can take risks for us, or face our losses on our behalf, or give us self-esteem. No one can spare us from life's slings and arrows, and when death comes, we meet it alone.
Martha Beck
Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.
Martha Beck
The difference between success and failure isn't the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart's desires no matter how scared you are.
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
Take off your watch: the divine is speaking to you.
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
In one century, we've added 28 years to our average life span - a change so rapid that our brains couldn't possibly have evolved to accommodate it.
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
If you'd rather live surrounded by pristine objects than by the traces of happy memories, stay focused on tangible things. Otherwise, stop fixating on stuff you can touch and start caring about stuff that touches you.
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
Every instance of heartbreak can teach us powerful lessons about creating the kind of love we really want.
Martha Beck
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
If you ask people, as I often do, how they make decisions, 'lucky' people will talk about tuning in to information and instincts, while 'unlucky' people often mention pushing away the uncomfortable feeling they were headed for trouble.
Martha Beck
Where your attention goes, your life goes.
Martha Beck
All religious leaders and spiritual teachers emphasize finding a place within us that is true. People who obsessively follow these leaders instead of their own purpose attach to the spiritual leader and become fanatical and controlling. That's why Jesus tried to tell his followers not to get attached to outward form.
