Many people think passion is a fuzzy feeling that makes taking action effortless. In fact, it's the gritty courage and tenacity to forge onward.
Martha Beck
Image
When fear makes your choices for you, no security measures on earth will keep the things you dread from finding you. But if you can avoid avoidance - if you can choose to embrace experiences out of passion, enthusiasm, and a readiness to feel whatever arises - then nothing, nothing in all this dangerous world, can keep you from being safe.
Martha Beck

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
Recurrent floods of sadness and anger gradually wash away the rubble of the defunct relationship, leaving only the bits of treasure: the remembered moments of real communion, a new understanding of your own mistakes, a clear picture of the dysfunctions you will never tolerate again.
Martha Beck

I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way.
Martha Beck

If you think there is no action that you can perform in your current circumstances that will increase the supply of love in the world, you are believing a lie. At the very least, you always have the option to offer yourself kindness and understanding. That alone can increase the supply of love in the world.

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
This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
Trust in your truth. It will be the best decision you ever make.

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

Where your attention goes, your life goes.

As any good Buddhist will tell you, the only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent.
Martha Beck
Image
Imagination is the doorway you walk through into every future moment. Are you walking through doorways to pain or to joy?
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
The way to find your own North Star is not to think or feel your way forward but to dissolve the thoughts and feeling that make you miserable. You don't have to learn your destiny--you already know it you just have to unlearn the thoughts that blind you to what you know.

A true leader is not someone who feels fully informed but someone who continuously receives insight and guidance.
