Martha Beck

Martha Beck
People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.
Martha Beck
Sometimes a psychic tells you something and it feels wrong and others may be right on the money. It's your choice about whom to trust, and giving that trust is something we do ourselves.
Martha Beck
Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.
Martha Beck
As much horror as we have always created, we are a species that keeps moving forward, seeing new sights in new ways, and enjoying the journey.
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
Where your attention goes, your life goes.
Martha Beck
I have come to believe that there are infinite passageways out of the shadows, infinite vehicles to transport us into the light.
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.
