More quotes by Martha Beck
Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you'll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.
Martha Beck
I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.
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
Most of our stress and suffering come not from events, but from our thoughts. Reframe from negative thoughts, and stress subsides.
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
People don’t cry when they lose their hope. They cry when they get it back.

Martha Beck

Martha Beck
What should you do now? Find a new way. A better way. Your way. The unknown, uncharted path through this wild new world that allows you---yourself, in your uniqueness--to reclaim the full measure of your true nature.
Martha Beck
The holy days are the best times to focus on real enthusiasm, the inner source that lightens and sanctifies our lives all year.
Martha Beck
Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life it is the pathway to it.
Martha Beck
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
Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.
Martha Beck
Trust in your truth. It will be the best decision you ever make.
Martha Beck
Make stuff up. Anyone who ever did something new or interesting was making it up as they went along.
Martha Beck
Don't expect the future to look like the past. Clear away expectations, and let yourself picture a wild, grand new world.
Martha Beck
Be brave enough to turn away from shiny objects, and toward the light that makes them shine.
