No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.

Don’t hide love. If you feel it, express it-not to demand that others love you back, but simply to live outwardly the best of what you feel inwardly. The worst that can happen to your heart is not rejection by another person but failure to act on the love you feel.

When you are in a creative or appreciative zone, you literally have no access to your inner lizard, to that fear-based, non creative, shrieking little beasty who's so afraid you're going to be a bag lady.

To care for someone can mean to adore them, feed them, tend their wounds. But care can also signify sorrow, as in bowed down by cares. Or anxiety, as in Careful! Or investment in an outcome, as in Who cares? The word love has no such range of meaning: It's pure acceptance.

This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.
Martha Beck
Image
Though we often see life troughs as the universe's conspiracy to ruin us, they're actually our own true nature inviting us to lay down our weary heads.
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.

If you did nothing but pursue the truth about yourself for the rest of your life, you would never run out of fresh discoveries.

If you're living completely on your own, break out of solitary confinement. Seek to understand others, and help them understand you

Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.
Martha Beck

Trying to motivate yourself with fear is like screaming at a child, “Do something, dammit!” You’ll either freeze up or act in counterproducti ve ways. Fear widens the knowing-doing gap. Don’t use it.

Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life it is the pathway to it.
