More quotes by Martha Beck
We virtually never feel our age, but thinking that we should can lead to disaster.
Martha Beck
Most people go through their whole lives, John went on, and never have one miracle happen to them. You've had dozens and dozens, and you still want more! It's like God gives you a brownie, I mean a really good brownie, but you can't be content with it. You want the whole pan of brownies. Nobody gets that.
Martha Beck
Menders of all times and places have taught that silencing the thoughts in our heads and opening to the experience of the body and emotions is the basis of all healing. It's the only means by which we can reclaim our true nature or feel the subtle cues telling us how to find our way through life.
Martha Beck
Take off your watch: the divine is speaking to you.
Martha Beck
A true leader is not someone who feels fully informed but someone who continuously receives insight and guidance.
Martha Beck
Heading towards that inner home will take you places-both inside yourself and in the external world-which your heart will recognize as its native environment, even though you have never been there before.
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
Every day brings new choices.
Martha Beck
External circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.
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
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
People are so afraid of authority figures and doctors are authority figures.
Martha Beck
The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.
Martha Beck
If you begin to face your fears, something bittersweet is going to happen to you: You'll grow up.
Martha Beck
A joyful life isn’t about others it’s about the brightness that is associated with being alive. Your path to it is through anything that replaces thinking with pure flight, pure joy.
Martha Beck
Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.
Martha Beck
Your first daily priority should be stillness, attention to what you really know and what you really feel.
Martha Beck
Question every thought that causes suffering and test it against your own sense of truth.
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 repercussions of one person living in stubborn gladness are incalculable.
