Inspirational Michael Bernard Beckwith Quotes

1. “When we shift from negatively complaining to positively affirming, conditions change. Then complaining is no longer the operative law in our life-freedom is.” – Michael Bernard Beckwith

Everyday Application: Your brain will believe what you tell it, and negative thoughts have a way of bringing more things to complain about into our lives. Instead of focusing on the negative, look for the positive. This won’t make hardship disappear, but rather help your brain seek and recognize the things you have going for you. This will bring about more good things!

2. “A person all wrapped up in themselves makes for a mighty small package.” – Michael Bernard Beckwith

3. “Do you press the “pause” button – the “until” button in life by saying “I can’t be happy until…”? Press the “play” button and rejoice in the nowness of the moment.” – Michael Bernard Beckwith

Everyday Application: Live in the present. Focus on what you have here and now, and the opportunities that present themselves to you. Waiting for the perfect moment to do things is a good way to do nothing.

4. “You are at a choice-point in every moment of each circumstance, each activity, spoken word and thought” – Michael Bernard Beckwith

Everyday Application: The power of our choices is immense. Everything we do is a matter of choice. Do we say “yes” or “no” to this opportunity? How do we behave in a given situation? All choices have consequences (good and bad). Give yourself a moment to think about your choices before you make a decision!

5. “The universe corresponds to the nature of your song.” – Michael Bernard Beckwith

25. “Within our core self is an indelible blueprint of unrivaled individuality—the singular being that each of us exists to express. In this three-dimensional movie called “Life” there are no stand-ins, body doubles, or understudies—no one can fill in for us by proxy! Realization of this truth alone eliminates the need to imitate, conform, limit, or betray our loyalty to the originality of Self. Imagine the relief of removing your carefully crafted masks fashioned by societal forms of conditioning and instead responding to what comes into your experience directly from your Authentic Self. One of the first principles to honor in your relationship with yourself is to respect and trust your own inner voice. This form of trust is the way of the heart, the epitome of well-being.” – Michael Bernard Beckwith

26. “Nowadays, being “connected” means 24/7 availability. Emailing, texting, Twittering, calling, keeping one’s website and Facebook status current seem essential to being and remaining relevant in the world. In addition to the positive impact of globally interconnecting humanity, the information era is also contributing to the creation of a high-tech, low-touch society. It is impacting language, the publishing world, education, and social revolts. Neurologists and other pundits, including Nicholas Carr in his Atlantic article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”, point out the paradoxical downsides of not setting healthy boundaries or applying discipline to how we engage technology. Some have gone so far as to suggest that it is making us “spiritually stupid” by keeping us too distracted to participate in spiritual practices. But how about this: can using technology with mindfulness lead to beneficial social and spiritual connection?” – Michael Bernard Beckwith

27. “I believe that you’re great, that there’s something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, this something that is within you, this power within you that’s greater than the world, it will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you, it will clothe you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence. If you let it! Now that is what I know, for sure.” – Michael Bernard Beckwith
