Now is all you ever have. There never is anything else. So, you might as well make the now your friend. Otherwise, you are out of alignment with life itself.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
To experience anything fully and see it clearly there must be a moment of presence where conceptual thinking is not interfering with your experience of that moment.
Eckhart Tolle
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Eckhart Tolle
Time is the horizontal dimension of life, the surface layer of reality. Then there is the vertical dimension of depth, accessible only through the portal of the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Hang on to the inner body, let it be the anchor, then you're present. If they say something challenging and you lose it again, pause, and anchor again. Practice, practice, continuous practice-becaus e when you're in touch with the inner body, spaciousness arises.
Eckhart Tolle
Important thing to realize is the world is not here to make me happy. When you don't demand that the situation, or place, or person should make you happy, then actually the situation, place, or person is quite satisfying.
Eckhart Tolle
Create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
Eckhart Tolle
Ask yourself what problem you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow or five minutes from now. You can always cope with the now, but you can never cope with the future. Nor do you have to. The answer, the strength and the right action will be there when you need it. Not before or after.
Eckhart Tolle
I know that at the core of each religion there is the truth, heavily obscured in some cases, but it's there.
Eckhart Tolle
Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?
Eckhart Tolle
When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it's just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
The vital function that pets fulfill in this world hasn't been fully recognized. They keep millions of people sane.
Eckhart Tolle
The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.
Eckhart Tolle
For what you do to others, you do to yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Strictly speaking, you cannot become enlightened, because who you take yourself to be is like a ripple in the ocean of consciousness - or a little wave if you're a VIP - and the ripple doesn't become enlightened until it realizes that its ripple-identity is ultimately a misperception, that it is the ocean taking on a fleeting ripple-form.
Eckhart Tolle
Transcending the world does not mean to withdraw from the world, to no longer take action, or to stop interacting with people. Transcendence of the world is to act and to interact without any self-seeking.
Eckhart Tolle
True salvation is freedom from negativity.
Eckhart Tolle
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.
Eckhart Tolle
When there's somebody there who is transparent enough so that the stillness comes through unhindered, there's a reciprocal movement in you because the presence of stillness suddenly recognizes itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.
Eckhart Tolle
