Quote

Every challenge takes you a little deeper and awakens you again and again. Without the challenges, you probably would go to back to sleep. The challenges keep you awake.

True happiness is found in simple, seemingly unremarkable things.
Eckhart Tolle

Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking.
Eckhart Tolle

The ego wants to want more than it wants to have. And so the shallow satisfaction of having is always replaced by more wanting.
Eckhart Tolle

The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.
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
Image
To be aware of little, quiet things, you need to be quiet inside. A high degree of alertness is required. Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Once you realize that a certain kind of food makes you sick, would you carry on eating that food and keep on asserting that it's okay to be sick?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The realm of consciousness is much vaster than thought can grasp. When you no longer believe everything you think, you step out of thought and see clearly that the thinker is not who you are.

Complaining is one of the ego's favorite strategies for strengthening itself.
