Eckhart Tolle Quotes (The Power of Now)<\/h2>\n

1. \u201cThe power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. \u201cDon\u2019t wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. \u201cTime isn\u2019t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time\u2014past and future\u2014the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. \u201cThinking is a wonderful tool if it\u2019s applied. Thinking, however, can not become the master. Thinking is a very bad master. If you\u2019re dominated by thinking then your life becomes very restricted.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. \u201cWherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. \u201cAcceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. \u201cThe past has no power over the present moment.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/em><\/h3>\n

8. \u201cTo complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. \u201cTo know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. \u201cPower over others is weakness disguised as strength.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

11. \u201cThe primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

12. \u201cSometimes letting things go<\/a> is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

13. \u201cLife will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

14. \u201cIf you are not living this moment, you are not really living.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/em><\/h3>\n

18. \u201cIn the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind \u2013 in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts. All those things make up your sense of self.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

19. \u201cForget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

29. \u201cAlways say \u201cyes\u201d to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is?

Whenever you interact with people, don\u2019t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

31. \u201cIs there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

33. \u201cNothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

34. \u201cIf small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p>\n

35. \u201cWhatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.\u201d \u2013 Eckhart Tolle<\/em><\/h3>\n
