And since the now is all there ever is in your life, your entire life unfolds as the present moment. People don't realize it, but all they ever have is "this". This moment.
Eckhart TolleLearn from nature. See how everything gets accomplished and how the miracle of life unfolds without dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
Eckhart TolleDiscontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart TolleTo listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.
Eckhart TolleYou can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
Eckhart TolleAt the deepest level, an 'open heart' is spacious presence, in which the sense of separateness between yourself and the 'other' dissolves and there is the recognition of oneness, of shared consciousness. That recognition is love. Sensing the formless essence in another and recognizing it as one with your own essence - that's what love is. All this is an intrinsic part of the awakened consciousness and the revelation of the spiritual dimension of life.
