More quotes by Martha Beck
You're exactly where you're meant to be, meandering along a crooked path.
Martha Beck
Many of us assume that we have to do things a certain way: ignore passion in favor of safer bets, act stoic amid inner turmoil, run on an upward trajectory of success and money acquisition at any emotional cost. But these are not rules.
Martha Beck
To care for someone can mean to adore them, feed them, tend their wounds. But care can also signify sorrow, as in bowed down by cares. Or anxiety, as in Careful! Or investment in an outcome, as in Who cares? The word love has no such range of meaning: It's pure acceptance.
Martha Beck
The holy days are the best times to focus on real enthusiasm, the inner source that lightens and sanctifies our lives all year.
Martha Beck
When making a decision, focus on what feels shackles off versus shackles on.
Martha Beck

It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.
Martha Beck
In one century, we've added 28 years to our average life span - a change so rapid that our brains couldn't possibly have evolved to accommodate it.
Martha Beck
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
Anyone who comes into your life, under any circumstances, has something to teach you.
Martha Beck
Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.
Martha Beck
Every day brings new choices.
Martha Beck
Your first daily priority should be stillness, attention to what you really know and what you really feel.
Martha Beck
When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.
Martha Beck
Ten bajillion product ads notwithstanding, your looks are another thing that's basically genetic.
Martha Beck
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.
