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
Creating ways to be happy is your life's work, a challenge that won't end until you die.
Martha Beck
This is the part of us that makes our brief, improbable little lives worth living: the ability to reach through our own isolation and find strength, and comfort, and warmth for and in each other. This is what human beings do. This is what we live for, the way horses live to run.
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
Perpetually doing, without ever tuning in to the center of our being, is the equivalent of fueling a mighty ship by tossing all its navigational equipment into the furnace.
Martha Beck

Martha Beck

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
Don't let your life revolve around whatever you're trying not to do or feel. Live to experience, not to avoid.
Martha Beck
External circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.
Martha Beck
When you are in a creative or appreciative zone, you literally have no access to your inner lizard, to that fear-based, non creative, shrieking little beasty who's so afraid you're going to be a bag lady.
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
Feel about yourself what you would have others feel about themselves.
Martha Beck
The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.
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
Peace is more than just a feeling. It's the mental and physical frequency where you'll find all your real power.
Martha Beck
Angels come in many shapes and sizes, and most of them are not invisible.
Martha Beck
Judgments that constrain your giving are the very demons that are keeping you from receiving.
Martha Beck
I majored in Chinese. I was never really good at Chinese but I really, really benefited from having been exposed to Asian philosophy early in my life.
