Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.
Martha Beck

Learning to let go of expectations is a ticket to peace. It allows us to ride over every crisis—small or large, brother-in-law or end-of-quarter office lockdown—like a beach ball on water.

If you ask people, as I often do, how they make decisions, 'lucky' people will talk about tuning in to information and instincts, while 'unlucky' people often mention pushing away the uncomfortable feeling they were headed for trouble.
Martha Beck
Image
Imagine the choices you'd make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval.
Martha Beck
Image
Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.
Martha Beck
Image
Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life it is the pathway to it.
Martha Beck
Image
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
Image
You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.
Martha Beck
Image
A confession you make merely to illuminate the murky corners of your little life may end up lighting the path to freedom for a thousand other hearts.

Image
Welcoming imperfection is the way to accomplish what perfectionism promises but never delivers. It gives us our best performance and genuine acceptance in the family of human -- and by that I mean imperfect -- beings.

Image
Bad artists ignore the darkness of human existence. Good artists often get stuck there. Great artists embrace the full catastrophe of our condition and find beyond it an even deeper truth of peace, healing, and redemption.
