More quotes by Martha Beck
I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.
Martha Beck
Remember, intimacy increases with honesty. Share less to keep people away and more to draw them closer.
Martha Beck
Every instance of heartbreak can teach us powerful lessons about creating the kind of love we really want.
Martha Beck
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.
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
This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.
Martha Beck

Martha Beck
It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.
Martha Beck
Your individuality is the most valuable thing you have.
Martha Beck
Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.
Martha Beck
Imagination is the doorway you walk through into every future moment. Are you walking through doorways to pain or to joy?
Martha Beck
Judgments that constrain your giving are the very demons that are keeping you from receiving.
Martha Beck
If you did nothing but pursue the truth about yourself for the rest of your life, you would never run out of fresh discoveries.
Martha Beck
If your life is cloudy and you're far, far off course, you may have to go on faith for a while, but eventually you'll learn that every time you trust your internal navigation system, you end up closer to your right life.
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
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
Imagine the choices you'd make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval.
Martha Beck
To know what that true self is without social pressure is to know your true nature.
Martha Beck
Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.
