Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.
Eckhart TolleIt is not necessary to do things in a state of anxiety or anguish. That is not the way to be aligned with life.
Eckhart TolleEvery 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.
Eckhart TolleResistance keeps you stuck. Surrender immediately opens you to the greater intelligence that is vaster than the human mind, and it can then express itself through you. So through surrender often you find circumstances changing.
