More quotes by Martha Beck
When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.
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
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
The past doesn’t exist except as a memory, a mental story, and though past events aren’t changeable, your stories about them are. You can act now to transform the way you tell the story of your past, ultimately making it a stalwart protector of your future.
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
Peace is more than just a feeling. It's the mental and physical frequency where you'll find all your real power.
Martha Beck
Use anything you can think of to understand and be understood, and you'll discover the creativity that connects you with others.
Martha Beck
I want you to notice is that-right here, right now-you’re okay. You may be in pain, you may be in fear, you may be in grief. But you’re here, you’re surviving this moment is okay.
Martha Beck
If you begin to face your fears, something bittersweet is going to happen to you: You'll grow up.
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.
Martha Beck
As much horror as we have always created, we are a species that keeps moving forward, seeing new sights in new ways, and enjoying the journey.
Martha Beck
Most people go through their whole lives, John went on, and never have one miracle happen to them. You've had dozens and dozens, and you still want more! It's like God gives you a brownie, I mean a really good brownie, but you can't be content with it. You want the whole pan of brownies. Nobody gets that.
Martha Beck
Do whatever it takes to convey your essential self.
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
If you feel stuck in your present life, if you feel no enthusiasm for anything, if you think you have no purpose or that you lost that purpose somewhere along the way, I guarantee you are living in a dungeon made of stories. And that none of those limiting stories are true.
Martha Beck
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
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
Creating ways to be happy is your life's work, a challenge that won't end until you die.
Martha Beck
Seek art from every time and place, in any form, to connect with those who really move you.
Martha Beck
Make stuff up. Anyone who ever did something new or interesting was making it up as they went along.
