Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stress is wanting something to be the way it isn't.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Every challenge is a disguised opportunity for salvation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
How many situations can be resolved with less thinking?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most rigid structures, the most impervious to change, will collapse first.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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

Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.
