More quotes by Martha Beck
In the moments I get it right, every step I take seems to be matched by a universal mystery, which obligingly, incredibly, creates what I can't.
Martha Beck
This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.
Martha Beck
You get social pressure from your parents, who teach you to pay attention to certain things and not to others. You get it in school.
Martha Beck
If you feel stuck in your present life, if you feel no enthusiasm for anything, if you think you have no purpose or that you lost that purpose somewhere along the way, I guarantee you are living in a dungeon made of stories. And that none of those limiting stories are true.
Martha Beck
Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it's essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.
Martha Beck
Many of us assume that we have to do things a certain way: ignore passion in favor of safer bets, act stoic amid inner turmoil, run on an upward trajectory of success and money acquisition at any emotional cost. But these are not rules.
Martha Beck
Anyone who comes into your life, under any circumstances, has something to teach you.
Martha Beck
In the pursuit of Knowledge, every day something is added. In the practice of the Way, every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to force things, until finally you arrive at non-action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
Martha Beck
From a place of stillness, openness, forgiveness and acceptance you can renew your commitment to any eating plan you like.
Martha Beck

Martha Beck

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
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
The really potent part of love is that it allows you to carry around beliefs about yourself that make you feel special, desirable, precious, innately good. Your lover couldn't have seen [these qualities] in you, even temporarily, if they weren't part of your essential being.
Martha Beck
Take off your watch: the divine is speaking to you.
Martha Beck
What laughter is to childhood, sex is to adolescence.
Martha Beck
Ten bajillion product ads notwithstanding, your looks are another thing that's basically genetic.
Martha Beck
Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life it is the pathway to it.
Martha Beck
The end goal of all of this striving is to live joyfully, and that there are often more direct ways of achieving this than conforming to rigid standards set by social custom.
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.
