If you're miserable, make a choice. If you're still miserable, you can choose again.
Martha Beck

If you want to end your isolation, you must be honest about what you want at a core level and decide to go after it.
Martha Beck
Image
Constantly measuring ourselves against others sours and shortens our lives, robbing us of the very things we think it will bring: prosperity, love, inner peace, the knowledge that we’re good enough.
Martha Beck
Image
To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.
Martha Beck
Image
The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.
