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
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
Image
This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.
Martha Beck
Image
If you're living completely on your own, break out of solitary confinement. Seek to understand others, and help them understand you

I've developed the habit of mentally listing things that make me optimistic about the future. I do it every day.
Martha Beck
Image
The idea is to identify a destructive thought pattern, then simply label it and watch it and let it pass by whenever it appears in your mind.
Martha Beck
Image
During the times we think we’re being “unproductive,” the seeds of new worlds are germinating within us, and they need peace to grow.
Martha Beck

Feel about yourself what you would have others feel about themselves.
Martha Beck

Don't let your life revolve around whatever you're trying not to do or feel. Live to experience, not to avoid.
