Criticism is an alluring substitute for creation, because tearing things down, unlike building them up, really is as easy as falling off a stump.

Martha Beck
Image
A true leader is not someone who feels fully informed but someone who continuously receives insight and guidance.
Martha Beck
Image
The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.
Martha Beck
Image
Do whatever work feeds your true self, even if it’s not a safe bet, even if it’s like a crazy risk, even if everyone in your life tells you you’re wrong or bad or crazy.

I majored in Chinese. I was never really good at Chinese but I really, really benefited from having been exposed to Asian philosophy early in my life.
Martha Beck
Image
