More quotes by Martha Beck
Every day brings new choices.
Martha Beck
The more you claim your own destiny, the easier it will be to love unconditionally .
Martha Beck
Criticism is an alluring substitute for creation, because tearing things down, unlike building them up, really is as easy as falling off a stump. It's blissfully simple to strike a savvy, sophisticated pose by attacking someone else's creations, but the old adage is right: Any fool can burn down a barn. Building one is something else again.
Martha Beck
What laughter is to childhood, sex is to adolescence.
Martha Beck
At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.
Martha Beck
Be brave enough to turn away from shiny objects, and toward the light that makes them shine.
Martha Beck
To be really productive, it's as important to rest when we're tired as it is to work when we're inspired.
Martha Beck
Good fortune has side effects.
Martha Beck
Loneliness is proof that your innate search for connection is intact.
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
To make an activity joyful, keep adding things until the activity as a whole becomes more appealing than repulsing.
Martha Beck
People are so afraid of authority figures and doctors are authority figures.
Martha Beck
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.
Martha Beck
My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.
Martha Beck
Imagine what you'd do if it absolutely didn't matter what people thought of you. Got it? Good. Never go back.
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
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
If you're miserable, make a choice. If you're still miserable, you can choose again.
Martha Beck
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.
Martha Beck
Question every thought that causes suffering and test it against your own sense of truth.
