To be really productive, it's as important to rest when we're tired as it is to work when we're inspired.
Martha Beck
Image
In one century, we've added 28 years to our average life span - a change so rapid that our brains couldn't possibly have evolved to accommodate it.

Your individuality is the most valuable thing you have.
Martha Beck
Image
What laughter is to childhood, sex is to adolescence.
Martha Beck
Image
The difference between success and failure isn't the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart's desires no matter how scared you are.
Martha Beck
Image
People don’t cry when they lose their hope. They cry when they get it back.
Martha Beck
Image
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.

When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.
Martha Beck
Image
As any good Buddhist will tell you, the only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent.
Martha Beck
Image
The important thing is to tell yourself a life story in which you, the hero, are primarily a problem solver rather than a helpless victim. This is well within your power, whatever fate might have dealt you.
Martha Beck
Image
People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.

Criticism is an alluring substitute for creation, because tearing things down, unlike building them up, really is as easy as falling off a stump. It's blissfully simple to strike a savvy, sophisticated pose by attacking someone else's creations, but the old adage is right: Any fool can burn down a barn. Building one is something else again.

Image
I'd like to help repair the earth's ecosystems, and to fully live until I'm fully dead.
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.
Martha Beck
Image
Don't let your life revolve around whatever you're trying not to do or feel. Live to experience, not to avoid.
Martha Beck
Image
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.

Image
Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it's essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.
Martha Beck
Image
Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else.
Martha Beck
Image
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.

Where your attention goes, your life goes.
