There have been many people for whom limitations, failure, loss, or pain in whatever form turned out to be their greatest teacher. It taught them to let go of false self-images and superficial ego-dictated goals and desires. It gave them depth, humility and compassion. It made them more real.
Eckhart TolleThe ego's form of happiness can't exist without unhappiness. The ego will be happy when something good happens but unhappy when it ends.
Eckhart TolleAccept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.
Eckhart TolleWorry means the mind is controlling you. Worry is always pointless. A solution never comes out of worry.
Eckhart Tolle
