More quotes by Martha Beck
The idea is to identify a destructive thought pattern, then simply label it and watch it and let it pass by whenever it appears in your mind.
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
Somewhere in there, among the worries, questions, advice and advertising jingles, lives your intuition, your true 'inner voice.' You can hear it to the extent that you give it your attention.
Martha Beck
At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.
Martha Beck
Question every thought that causes suffering and test it against your own sense of truth.
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
Slow is fast, gentle is powerful and stillness moves mountains
Martha Beck
Every instance of heartbreak can teach us powerful lessons about creating the kind of love we really want.
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
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
Good fortune has side effects.
Martha Beck
Imagine the choices you'd make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval.
Martha Beck
Seek art from every time and place, in any form, to connect with those who really move 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
Imagination is the doorway you walk through into every future moment. Are you walking through doorways to pain or to joy?
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
A true leader is not someone who feels fully informed but someone who continuously receives insight and guidance.
Martha Beck
It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.
Martha Beck
Tiny steps will get you to your goal months and months sooner. A little is better than a lot.
