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
Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it's essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.

Caring for your inner child has a powerful and surprisingly quick result: Do it and the child heals.
Martha Beck
Image
To know what that true self is without social pressure is to know your true nature.
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.
Martha Beck
Image
Anything you're trying to will is focused on the future it's always associated with some sort of anxiety that makes the present moment somewhat uncomfortable.

Image
Loneliness is proof that your innate search for connection is intact.
