More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
When you say, 'I enjoy doing this or that', it is really a misperception. It makes it appear that the joy comes from what you do, but that is not the case. Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.
Eckhart Tolle
Creativity arises out of the state of thoughtless presence in which you are much more awake than when you are engrossed in thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for. Everybody's life really consists of small things. Greatness is a mental abstraction and a favorite fantasy of the ego. The paradox is that the foundation for greatness is the honoring of small things of the present moment instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
Eckhart Tolle
When you accept everything for what it is without labels you are outside of your ego.
Eckhart Tolle
The present moment is all you ever have.
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
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
If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
Eckhart Tolle
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
You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness and ego cannot coexist.
Eckhart Tolle
With awareness there comes choice. And so you are able to say: I allow this moment to be as it is. And then, suddenly, where before there was irritation, there is now a sense of aliveness and peace. And out of that comes right action.
Eckhart Tolle
The future never comes. Life is always now.
Eckhart Tolle
If you completely accept something, it changes. If you completely accept it, it shifts.
Eckhart Tolle
Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.
Eckhart Tolle
The only thing you ever have is now.
Eckhart Tolle
You become most powerful in whatever you do if the action is performed for its own sake rather than as a means to protect, enhance, or conform to your role identity.
Eckhart Tolle
We could say that the totality, life wants the sapling to become a tree, but the sapling doesn't see itself as separate from life and so wants nothing for itself. It is one with what life wants. That's why it isn't worried or stressed. And, if it has to die prematurely, it dies with ease.
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
Eckhart Tolle
Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole live like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one.
Eckhart Tolle
