Eckhart Tolle

• Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.
• All problems are illusions of the mind.
• Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker.
• Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.
• It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.
• Life is the dancer and you are the dance.
• Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now; and if the past cannot prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?
• People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
• Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.
• Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
• Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.
• Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.
• Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.
• The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.
• The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction.
• The more you are focused on time - past and future - the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
• The past has no power over the present moment.
• The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that.
• The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.
• What a liberation to realize that 'the voice in my head' is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.
• Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.
• Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it.
• Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.
• You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
• You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.
• You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you.
• You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.
