I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you completely accept something, it changes. If you completely accept it, it shifts.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most important healing - realizing who you are. The healing on the outer level is fine, but it's not the essence of healing.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
The whole world accepts that being stressed is the normal way to live.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To have your attention in the Now is not a denial of what is needed in your life. It is recognition of what is primary.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Humanity is reaching the end of the evolutionary stage of ego. The closer we get to the end, the more dysfunctional humanity becomes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Surrendering only refers to this moment, whatever is at this moment - to accept unconditionally and fully whatever arises at this moment.
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
Image
This, too, will pass.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life always is now. Life is inseparable from now.
