To make an activity joyful, keep adding things until the activity as a whole becomes more appealing than repulsing.
Martha Beck
Image
Feel about yourself what you would have others feel about themselves.
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
Image
There has never been, and never will be, anyone who sees, thinks, or responds exactly the way you do. Whether you’re revolutionizing physics or making a quilt, you must display your differences to make a difference.
Martha Beck
Image
Most of our stress and suffering come not from events, but from our thoughts. Reframe from negative thoughts, and stress subsides.
Martha Beck
Image
Seek art from every time and place, in any form, to connect with those who really move you.
Martha Beck
Image
Remember, intimacy increases with honesty. Share less to keep people away and more to draw them closer.
Martha Beck
Image
Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it's essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.
