Nothing that you plan is going to work out. Everything is going to be totally different than the way you expected. And things will constantly challenge you. Wherever you look the world is not as solid it seems to be.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
When I'm with people, I'm a spiritual teacher. That's the function, but it's not my identity. The moment I'm alone, my deepest joy is to benobody, to relinquish the function of a teacher. It's a temporary function.
Eckhart Tolle
You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself
Eckhart Tolle
Whenever you meet anybody, it is a holy encounter. The primary event is the energy field of presence between you and the other human being that arises. You enjoy it. There is deep joy in the meeting.
Eckhart Tolle
The predominance of mind is no more than a stage in the evolution of consciousness. We need to go on to the next stage now as a matter of urgency otherwise, we will be destroyed by the mind, which has grown into a monster.
Eckhart Tolle
For many people, illness - loss of health - represents the crisis situation that triggers an awakening. With serious illness comes awareness of your own mortality, the greatest loss of all.
Eckhart Tolle
If there are people you haven't forgiven, you're not going to really awaken. You have to let go.
Eckhart Tolle
Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.
Eckhart Tolle
Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
In whatever way change comes, the important thing is to take responsibility for this moment. Then, life becomes cooperative.
Eckhart Tolle
We get lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating - lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. Nature can show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our own minds.
Eckhart Tolle
Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.
Eckhart Tolle
All inner resistance is experienced as negativity in one form or another. All negativity is resistance. In this context, the two words are almost synonymous. Negativity ranges from irritation or impatience to fierce anger, from a depressed mood or sullen resentment to suicidal despair. Sometimes the resistance triggers the emotional pain body
Eckhart Tolle
When the basis for your actions is inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become empowered by the intelligence of life itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Eckhart Tolle
As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve.
Eckhart Tolle
If the price of peace were a lowering of your consciousness, and the price of stillness a lack of vitality and alertness, then they would not be worth having.
Eckhart Tolle
True communication is communion-the realization of oneness, which is love.
Eckhart Tolle
The ego wants to want more than it wants to have. And so the shallow satisfaction of having is always replaced by more wanting.
Eckhart Tolle
The essence of every form is the deathless. Even the essence of a blade of grass is the deathless. And that's why the world of form is sacred.
Eckhart Tolle
