Excerpts from the book "Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live" (Marth Beck)
"You never hear about truly self-actualized people, like Buddha or Christ, telling people they're stupid losers. It goes against the nature of enlightenment."
"Detaching, finding your true path, and becoming a whole, strong person will put you in a much better position from which to influence them than staying locked in a dance of futile control efforts."
"Anytime you think you don't know what you want, it's because your social self has decided you shouldn't want it."
"Real fear is easy to distinguish from the phony varity because it has a clear source and motivates clear action. Fake fear is a blanket anxiety or worry that doesn't mobilize; on the contrary, it paralyzes."
"It may be strange that the function of grief is to heal, because sorrow can make you feel as though you're being torn apart, cell from little tiny cell. Nevertheless, there's a good reason psychologists call sadness "the healing feeling." People who follow grief through its whole course emerge stronger and healthier, more able to cope with the inevitible losses that affect every human life. In the end, they become sources of wisdom and compassion for themselves and everyone around them."
Amazing, good, brilliant thoughts/lessons. Thank you Martha Beck.
Are you allowing what is inside of you to process through you?
