Remember, intimacy increases with honesty. Share less to keep people away and more to draw them closer.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
Play until it's time to rest, then rest until it's time to play.
Martha Beck
Image
To make an activity joyful, keep adding things until the activity as a whole becomes more appealing than repulsing.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.
Martha Beck
