Surrender becomes so much easier when you realize the fleeting nature of all experiences and that the world cannot give you anything of lasting value. You then continue to meet people, to be involved in experience and activities, but without the wants and fears of the egoic self. That is to say, you no longer demand that a situation, person, place, or event should satisfy you or make you happy. It's passing and imperfect nature is allowed to be.
Eckhart TolleBut there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.
Eckhart TolleIf you keep your attention in the body as much as possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You won't lose yourself in the external world, and you won't lose yourself in your mind. Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires may still be there to some extent, but they won't take you over.
Eckhart TolleThe power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Eckhart Tolle
