More quotes by Martha Beck
Trust in your truth. It will be the best decision you ever make.
Martha Beck
This is the part of us that makes our brief, improbable little lives worth living: the ability to reach through our own isolation and find strength, and comfort, and warmth for and in each other. This is what human beings do. This is what we live for, the way horses live to run.
Martha Beck
You're exactly where you're meant to be, meandering along a crooked path.
Martha Beck
The more you claim your own destiny, the easier it will be to love unconditionally .
Martha Beck
If a problem looks difficult, relax. If it looks impossible, relax even more. Then begin encouraging small changes, putting just enough pressure on yourself to move one turtle step forward. Then rest, savor, celebrate. Then step again. You’ll find that slow is fast, gentle is powerful, and stillness moves mountains.
Martha Beck
The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.

Martha Beck
People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.
Martha Beck
Don’t worry that you’ve wasted time. Each moment -- no matter how frozen or confused -- was a useful and necessary lesson.
Martha Beck
Feel about yourself what you would have others feel about themselves.
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
To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.
Martha Beck
You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.
Martha Beck
During the times we think we’re being “unproductive,” the seeds of new worlds are germinating within us, and they need peace to grow.
Martha Beck
This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.
