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.
Eckhart TolleThe whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.
Eckhart TolleWaiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don't want the present. You don't want what you've got, and you want what you haven't got. With every kind of waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality of your life by making you lose the present.
