Gratefulness for what is there is one of the most powerful tools for creating what is not yet there. What does gratefulness mean? It means you appreciate what is. You value, you give attention to, you honor whatever is here at this moment.
Eckhart Tolle...there are two ways of being unhappy: One is not getting what you want, and the other is getting what you want.
Eckhart TolleWhen you are in the present moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.
Eckhart TolleFor many people, the first indication of a spiritual awakening is that they suddenly become aware of their thoughts. They become a witness to their thoughts, so to speak. They are not completely identified with their mind anymore and so they begin to sense that there is a depth to them that they had never known before.
Eckhart TolleInstead of creating expectations of what should or should not be happening, cooperate with the form that this moment takes.Bring a 'yes' to the isness, because it's pointless to argue if it already is.A greater intelligence is available to you when you no longer reject, deny, or 'don't want' what is.
