More quotes by Martha Beck
No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.
Martha Beck
Welcoming imperfection is the way to accomplish what perfectionism promises but never delivers. It gives us our best performance and genuine acceptance in the family of human -- and by that I mean imperfect -- beings.
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
Many of us have spent a lifetime trying to be what we’re not, feeling lousy about ourselves when we fail, and sometimes when we succeed. We hide our differences when, by accepting and celebrating them, we could collaborate to make every effort more exciting, productive enjoyable, and powerful. Personally, I think we should start right now.
Martha Beck
Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else.
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
Imagine the choices you'd make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval.
Martha Beck
Take off your watch: the divine is speaking to you.
Martha Beck
Angels come in many shapes and sizes, and most of them are not invisible.
Martha Beck
You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.
Martha Beck
When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.
Martha Beck
Seek art from every time and place, in any form, to connect with those who really move you.
Martha Beck
If you think there is no action that you can perform in your current circumstances that will increase the supply of love in the world, you are believing a lie. At the very least, you always have the option to offer yourself kindness and understanding. That alone can increase the supply of love in the world.
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
Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.
Martha Beck
It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.
Martha Beck
If you'd rather live surrounded by pristine objects than by the traces of happy memories, stay focused on tangible things. Otherwise, stop fixating on stuff you can touch and start caring about stuff that touches you.
Martha Beck
If you ask people, as I often do, how they make decisions, 'lucky' people will talk about tuning in to information and instincts, while 'unlucky' people often mention pushing away the uncomfortable feeling they were headed for trouble.
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
There has never been, and never will be, anyone who sees, thinks, or responds exactly the way you do. Whether you’re revolutionizing physics or making a quilt, you must display your differences to make a difference.
