It is not necessary to do things in a state of anxiety or anguish. That is not the way to be aligned with life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
There is another side to death. Whether death happens through an act of violence to a large number of people or to an individual, whether death comes prematurely through illness or accident, or whether death comes through old age, death is always an opening. So a great opportunity comes whenever we face death.

Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there'.

The habit patterns of the human mind are very strong and make it seem that the hard way is easy and the easy way is hard.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Your true evolution is not what you do out there. That's secondary. Your true evolution is to do with the arising of awareness in you as you go about your life.

The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
And then there is the universal role of adult. When you play that role, you take yourself and life very seriously. Spontaneity, lightheartedness, and joy are not part of that role.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, 'I don't have time.' But that's the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.

In whatever way change comes, the important thing is to take responsibility for this moment. Then, life becomes cooperative.
