You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True change happens within, not without. Find the Now within. Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate, whether they are conscious of it or not.

The past has no power over the present moment.
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
If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too
Eckhart Tolle

The past cannot survive in your presence. It can only survive in your absence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You will enjoy any activity in which you are fully present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I call animals guardians of Being, especially animals that live with humans. Because, for many humans, it's through their contact with animals they get in touch with that level of being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I sometimes say to people, I am a window frame - no more. The window frame is not that important. What is important is the light that comes through the window.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Spiritual awakening - is becoming awake to the aliveness of this moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness

Loss is very painful, because any kind of loss leaves a hole in the fabric of one's existence.
