The goal has its importance. But the doing is what is truly fulfilling. Every enthusiastic person has a goal that may be important, but the doing is intensely fulfilling, and it is the essence of enthusiasm.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
You are this universe experiencing itself, very briefly, as a human.
Eckhart Tolle
Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Is fear preventing you from taking action? Acknowledge the fear, watch it, take your attention into it, be fully present with it. Doing so cuts the link between the fear and your thinking. Don't let the fear rise up into your mind. Use the power of the Now. Fear cannot prevail against it.
Eckhart Tolle
Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.
Eckhart Tolle
Can you feel that there is something in you that is at war, something that feels threatened and wants to survive at all cost, that needs the drama in order to assert its identity as the victorious character within that theatrical production? Can you feel there is something in you that would rather be right than at peace?
Eckhart Tolle
Practice presence -- embrace the place where life happens.
Eckhart Tolle
Sense your presence, the naked, unveiled, unclothed beingness. It is untouched by young or old, rich or poor, good or bad, or any other attributes.
Eckhart Tolle
Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.
Eckhart Tolle
When one child says to another, I can do this, I bet you can't My dad has a bigger car than yours or, My dad is stronger than yours. Children identify with this or that, trying to build up a sense of self - a mentally defined sense of self.
Eckhart Tolle
Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.
Eckhart Tolle
Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion.
Eckhart Tolle
There can be associations - enlightened businesses, for example - that do not work on the basis of us against them or wanting profit as the main motivating force behind what they do.
Eckhart Tolle
What is commonly called 'falling in love' is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever.
Eckhart Tolle
Because we all carry the Truth within us as our essence, we recognize it immediately.
Eckhart Tolle
Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth.
Eckhart Tolle
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
Eckhart Tolle
When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.
Eckhart Tolle
When your fulfillment and sense of self are no longer dependent on the future outcome, joy flows into whatever you do. You do what you do because the action itself is fulfilling. Whatever you do or create in that state is of high quality. This is because it is not a means to an end, and so a loving care flows into your doing.
Eckhart Tolle
The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
The present moment is all you ever have. There is never a time when your life is not 'this moment.' Is this not a fact?
Eckhart Tolle
